Santa Cruz










Today, before classes, we had a good walk through Barrio de Santa Cruz, which is the odd name for the old Jewish quarter.  It is a true maze of very narrow streets, designed by the Arabs for shade and to create a wind tunnel effect.  Tonight, the boys opted for a flamenco bar.  I have included some pictures of tapas I had for lunch today as this is the city where tapas were first made.  These were from a fantastic place called Enrique Becerra.  Also, on the way to meet the boys for the evening activity I happened to pass a small procession and I only had my cellphone camera so I took some low quality pictures.  I asked the ladies that posed for me and they said it was the Rocio de Sevilla which I think is a "cowboy/flamenco" style fiesta.
