Weekend in Sevilla

We just got back from spending the weekend in Sevilla. I have here just a few shots... I have dozens... =)

Graffiti? Or art?

There is graffiti everywhere here... Some good, some definitely not-so-good. This image is of a partial design that my roommate and I found on Sunday. It's on a wall of one of the ramps that leads to an underground parking area.

The verdict on this one? Art.

El Rastro, take 2

We went back to El Rastro (click here for additional info) on Sunday (the giant flea market near metro stop La Latina). It is simply ginormous. I've been there 3 times now, and I have yet to see it all. I don't even know how big it is... This time, I bought some 2 watches, which shows remarkable restraint based on how much stuff you can buy there. This photo is taken from the bottom of a street, looking up. Look how many people there are.......

I recommend clicking on the image to expand it. Only then can you get the full affect and see all the people in the street! Remember, this is only a tiny snippet of the market.

Plaza de España

In Plaza de España, off of Gran Vía, there is a monument dedicated to Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra. He is the stone sculpture seated in the center. Below him are his creations, Don Quijote & Sancho Panza, and on either side, there is a representation of Don Quijote's one true love: one as the peasant woman Aldonza Lorenzo, and one as he imagines her, as the beautiful Dulcinea del Toboso.
