winterish weather

sevilla, spain, weather

Looks like I’ll be saying adiós to my sandals this week. Not so much because of the temperatures but, together with more rain, my feet are going to need a bit more protection from the elements. Dammit.

This is always kind of a melancholy time of year for me. The clocks have gone back, it’s only 7 pm here but now dark as night. Luckily it’s still warmish – about 18 degrees – so we will probably be able to comfortably sit outside during the first stop of my Sevilla Tapas Tour tonight.

The electric fans went into storage today and the winter duvets have been picked up from the cleaners, but still too soon to take out the space heaters.

How’s the weather where you are? I know that Sledpress is about to experience some Serious Weather, which I hope won’t cause any damage.

Me? I’ll still be wearing sandals tonight, but will take a light coat with me.

rain, sevilla, spain, weather

The word biblical comes to mind. Holy cow, it’s been raining cats and dogs all day. With intermittent torrential downpours that make it impossible to even step outside. And it looks like this isn’t going to let up until the weekend. Everyone says that this is a good thing, because Sevilla always needs rain, but I think deep down people wish it could always be sunny.

Me? I’d just like to get my laundry dried.

Isn’t this a fabulous photo by Raúl Díaz? (click to enlarge). He’s a twitter friend and “neighbour” and took this pic today in the centre of Sevilla.

flamenco, sevilla, spain, tapas

So remember when I said I had a new project underway? Well, this isn’t it. This one just happened today! And quite unexpectedly. After being out and about doing some research this morning I have come up with a fabulous way of offering my Sevilla Tapas Tour guests a couple of different options if they’d like to include a bit of authentic flamenco in their visit.

This has always been somewhat of a dilemma for me since of course most “flamenco shows” are designed for tourists. Locals who love flamenco tend to go to “peñas” which are like private clubs, so visitors aren’t usually welcome. Also, I think most visitors would find a peña a bit intimidating.

And so I am now working on two options: a flamenco and tapas tour, and a private lunchtime flamenco show with tapas brought in from a nearby bar. I think both of these options are going to really appeal to my clients, because they really appeal to me! Stay tuned…
