Every year the Alcázar opens its gothic palace to house a three-day sale of convent cookies, sweets, etc. made by cloistered nuns. These can be bought most days at the various convents, by placing your order in front of a shut door, putting your money in a “lazy susan” opening, and then your order appears without having seen anybody. This has actually become a sort of tourist attraction, though I’ve never done it myself since I don’t really eat sweets. But I like going to this event and seeing everything laid out, since I am there to buy gifts. And it’s always nice to spend time in the Alcázar. If you’re in Sevilla this weekend, check it out.

My Sevilla Tapas Tours are never the same. People are always different and bring their own unique qualities to the group dynamic, food preferences vary, travel and life experiences are shared… and every now and then there are peacocks. These guys were spotted between tapas bars along the outer walls of the Alcázar palace gardens.

During the night my annual Christmas Cold arrived and I have spent the day inside shivering and sniffling. But now duty calls and I’m heading out to meet five friends to take them on a nice tapeo. Tomorrow is a day off!
