Well, after breakfast on the terrace this morning, we headed out to see the Mercado de Abastos in Seville at Plaza Cadíz, then to the Supermercado, and then a trip to the farmacía for decongestants and throat lozenges. I have a cold and sore throat. Oh, woe is me, life is so hard. Hehehe. We went back to the room to drop off the goodies.
I went for a walk on along the river and then across the bridge to Triana. Historically this is where the gypsies lived. It is also where the Camino Via de la Plata begins and where the Pilgrims Office is located, like the one in SJPP, except this one is not open every day. I stayed at the Triana Backpackers Hostel last year during Semana Santa (Easter week celebration) before I started the Via de la Plata. Today I roamed around and stopped at the Mercado de Abastos here for some sliced melon and some of my favorite galletas (cookies.) The Mercado de Abastos can be found in most cities. The are like our farmer's markets, but are in buildings, open every day, and have meats, vegetables, seafood, cheeses, nuts and all manner of good things to eat. I love to wander through them looking at all the yummy stuff.
After that excursion, it was back to the hotel for a siesta and to feast on my goodies. During the evening, we went to a flamenco show at Tableo de Los Gallos. The show featured four singers four guitarists, three dancers, and a variety of flamenco styles. It was upbeat and sassy.
After the flamenco show, we went up to the Terrace of our hotel for a coke and to see the cathedral all lit up.
