Sevilla
If I thought Toledo was warm then I was kidding myself. Seville is the hottest place in Spain and the hottest time is between 3pm and 7pm. We had great intentions of getting out early before the heat and having a siesta in the hottest part of the day ...

DAY 11 - JANUARY 14, 2007
... there are almost designated standing areas, which I find mystifying. Why can't these people get off their lazy feet and find a chair? I think that, when dining in Spain, the meals are NOT about the food. They are about the people. Meals are not a time to ...

Arriving in Spain
