Ola!

We´re currently sitting in a bar (and yes it´s 12:35) in Ronda www.enfrentearte.com typing to my little hearts content, waiting for our rooms to be finished cleaning. We got here a little earlier than planned, from Seville. Pity we weren´t here longer than one night as everything is “gracias”, free, nada, nil cost, including the red wine… blimey! However given that Karsten and Michelle are tea-totallers, it will be party time for me on my pat malone, or in Spanish, on my papaloma!!

Our room is bright red, tomato red… is that good for dreaming? I can´t remember. Or maybe the imaginative dreams come from the red wine instead!

Seville was a great place, we really enjoyed it. It´s almost like the further south we go, the more we are starting to warm to Spain, in general. Whilst the early places are amazing, they haven´t been pushing quite the right buttons as I had imagined. However, that is all shifting…

The hotel we stayed in Seville, “hotel Amadeus” www.hotelamadeussevilla.com, was a rather classy establishment. In our deluxe suite, we had a shower that doubled as a spa and sauna; even though we felt like we were in a space capsule when standing in it. It did have a little dicky seat so that was novel, if nothing else.

As you may have surmised, the hotel does have a musical connection. But only from the viewpoint of the owner family having a strong musical pedigree, which enabled the instruments to not only decorate the hotel, it allowed guests to avail of them, at any time. Suffice to say, daughter did voila practice, and guitar and piano (I have video to prove it), and even the harp… school will be proud!!

Another cathedral (although good for taking aerial shots from), another palace, and more shops visited, although now much is starting to blend into one another, fashion and frescos alike!

Must be time for that first glass of red now surely…
no idea what any of the grape types are, but then I guess that´s half the fun!

salud!!
