… especially when they are so pretty, and also seriously cut down on the FUCKING HEAT that has arrived here way too early. Stay tuned folks because the torrential rains all through Semana Santa gave us some breathing space, but if we hit over the top temps super early (like last year) the reservoirs won’t last long. Meanwhile tourists are complaining that they came here for some sun.

Much has been written of late about the serious negative impact that over-tourism has on communities and their residents. This decision by Amsterdam to ban new hotels seems like a sensible move and I wish Sevilla and other afflicted cities in Spain would follow suit. And while we rightly blame government and corporate greed for allowing – heck, promoting – this out of control situation its also clear by asshole comments like the one above that we have a lot of work ahead of us if we expect change to happen.

So nah, won’t be going to Feria. I usually like going at least one afternoon to take photos of the horses and the colourful dresses but as one horse has already died from the heat I think it’s not something I want to be a part of. Also there are apparently record crowds this year – yet another local celebration over run and ruined by mass tourism. No thanks.
