Evening walk and Museo de Bellas Artes

I continued out of the Parque Marie Luisa, past the main buildings of Seville University (ina former tobacco factory) and onto the Avenida de Constitución, one of major streets near the Catedral.

I found an interesting ice cream parlour, who fashioned 4 flavours of ice cream in a cone into a flower.

I stopped for dinner at one of the restaurants recommended by my tour guide on Tuesday. I went for a brocheta of pork and chorizo, which turned out to be a hanging kebab to the delight as entertainment of a Dutch family group at the next table, who took pictures and asked me to show them where this was in the menu!

My next stop was a late night visit to the Museo de Bellas Artes de Sevilla, the fine art museum. This was filled with various paintings by members of the so called Seville School, including Murillo, Vasquez, Bruegel the Younger, Zurburan and Roldán, as well as lots of early medieval religious art.

I discovered a marching brass playing a concert just outside the museo and so stood to watch for while.

I stopped for a pudding on my way back to the hotel. I went for a “Dulce de Yema típico de Sevilla” (Egg yolk sweet typical from Seville). The top white section tasted like Gree yoghurt, the yellow was the consistency of lemon curd but not really lemony and there was a sticky brown sauce at the bottom. Incredibly rich and sweet.Read more
