Been There, Done That

I'm the Barber of Seville!

I had reserved a car to drive from Lisbon to Seville.  The drive wasn't too far, maybe 4 hours or so, but the car was going to cost 600 euros to rent, plus another 600 euro charge for the one-way trip.  I found a last minute deal online to fly for just one hour and 250 euros,  Sweet.  I'll take that.

I booked a Viator tour that would take us first to Maria Luisa Park where there was a beautiful tile monument from 1913 dedicated to Migul de Cervantes.

After that we headed to a dinner flamenco show.  Flamenco is a genuine southern Spanish art form. It exists in three forms: el cante (the song), el baile (the dance), and la guitarra (the guitar playing). Gypsies are often credited with the "invention" of flamenco, but it also was influenced by the Arabs, the Jews, and the local Andalusians.
