Wandering in Seville's paradise Gardens
Today we're over by the 1929 exposision buildings. They form a half-circle, a tower at each end. And all around there is a huge expanse of gardens. This Spain-South America exposition was first delayed by an unfortunate event: WW1. Then it barely squeezed by in front of the '29 crack. The architectural style is an echo of Seville's older,Arabian buildings and gardens. We enjoy tapas and a cold beer in a little café in the gardens while a man from Senegal with a calabas lute entertains at the tables for a slight fee.
The Arts and Industries museum and the Archeology Museum are worth seeing. Especially the good Roman sculpture and mosaic collection. In September there is plenty of elbow-room, no queues any where. Warm, not hot, with a pleasant breeze, perfect timing to see Seville!
