Sevilla 2024 II

This week, Sevilla is warming up, with highs of 24°C / 75°F, *and* is sunny!

We went to another flamenco show, Teatro Flamenco Triana - no photos at all! It was pretty good, but we decided we liked the previous one better. This venue had more comfortable chairs, and we could see all the dancing feet with just a little bit of head-weaving involved. But the stage felt very distancing, applause sounded lackluster, and there were no refreshments 😮. Finally, for us, the performers were good, but not as good as the others (we decided that if we has seen this show without having seen the other, we would have liked it just fine).

We also went out to Setas, a Sevilla landmark and monument - we aimed for a sunset, and got there at 6:00 (we had 6:15 tickets, which let you in 15 minutes early till 30 minutes late)... We got a very nice view of the city, saw the sunset, and then the light show.

We decided that if we had it to do over again, we would:

- go on a day when the market is open, and work that in as well (it closes at 3)

- not worry about seeing the sunset; people get to the viewpoint edges early, and just wait there, standing. And waiting. And waiting.

- likewise, not worry about seeing the light show - viewing areas are crowded

- see the 15 minute culture show. We put it off till the end, and were too tired to deal with the backless bench seats, so we turned around and left.

- have a meal in the area - lunch, tapas, dinner...
