On Monday (All Soul's Day) we packed an overnight bag and jumped on the bus with 15 of our Grand Circle Travelers. Our destination: Seville and Jerez de la Frontera in the Andalucian area of Spain. Our regular tour director hooked us up with a University connected tour guide for an indepth look through the Ancient Jewish Quarter of Seville and on to the Alcazar Palace, where the King Juan Carlos and Queen Sophia stay when they visit Seville. The palace holds memorabilia of the contract between Queen Isabella and Christopher Columbus when he convinced them to finance his trip to the West. The Palace itself is a beautiful blend of Moorish construction since the 11th century and the Christian architectural additions over the next 4 centuries. Back then, it was cool to get along. Everyone believed that their own God was one in the same. No need to fight!
We then checked into the Seville Center Hotel- fantastic accomodations and an even better buffet of everything imaginable for lunch! We had cold melon soup, fish tostosdas, all kinds of meats and vegetables and pastries for dessert! We all had a little Siesta of our own and then on for more sightseeing!
One magnificent Seville landmark is the Exposition Center completely refubished in 1929 to allow the public to view the history and enjoy the market plaza.
We could not believe how fantastic our next treat would be: Authentic, professional Flamenco dancers. Their grace and beauty was a combination of fine ballet and opera. Singing, guitar and much hand clapping accompanied the performance. We then had a private dinner for our group- we've eaten so much on this day, that we aren't sure if we'll be hungry again! NOT!!!
