mask mandate ends

Honestly, if not for masks still being required on ALL public transport I would be so fucked. As it is, I will keep wearing a mask when I go out, and inside all shops and restaurants. You have to wonder about the timing… I mean, immediately after Semana Santa when thousands upon thousands of maskless people were crammed together for an entire week. And then we have Feria coming up in two weeks, when thousands of maskless people will be crammed into small tents for another week. Wouldn’t it have made more sense to at least wait 2-3 weeks after Semana Santa for the case results to come in? Oh right, not testing any more. And no more mention of Covid anywhere in the media. Fuck.

back for more!

repeat 2

It’s always lovely when people return to Sevilla and the first thing they want to do is get together again.  Last weekend I had another tour with Dave & Kate, who had been out with me in 2015, and then today I went out with another “repeat couple” (from 2014), Liliana & Doug. Then Jack & Thomas got in touch, who had  been on a tour with me in 2013 and are coming back for more in July. Must be doing something right!

calima

Calima is an atmospheric phenomenon that happens when Sahara sand drifts over to Spain, leaving the skies an eerie orange hue and affecting air quality. When accompanied by rainfall it becomes lluvia de barro (muddy rain) and the dust and sand particles are dragged down to earth, covering every possible surface. Good idea to stay in. And watch out for zombies.
