Dag 3
the Mary float "Pasos"
14 maj 2022, Spanien ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C
we are wandering up calle tueton and hear a marching band...got to check that out and we stumble upon a magnificent Mary float
called a Pasos usually part of the Semana Santa or holy week festivities....but why is she out tonight??? Sevilla is known for the most amazing holy week processions by each neighbourhoods parish taking their floats to the cathedral but why this night? Saturday eve. she made a stop at iglesia de la annunciation church a former Jesuit church and one of the most classic semana santa churches in Seville apparently. then turned up another street next to the setus de sevilla a magnificent swirly mushroom like shade structure that covers the square. the pics are blurry but you can see the young men's feet carrying the float. they change teams very 20 min or so so the float stops. there is chicken wire where there heads must be so they have some fresh air. it was a slow procession and I don't know if they would head back to the cathedral or not. you can see the head turban like structures the men wear ( no women allowed to carry so far..) on one of the blurry pics.Läs mer

Dag 3
continued wandering
14 maj 2022, Spanien ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C
we continue wandering back maybe towards the cathedral. having a slice of pizza on the way. pass by the big red church- iglesia collegian del divino Salvador- then to the cathedral of Seville the largest gothic church in Europe...or maybe the world, built on the former site of the mosque. the giralda tower - which has both Muslim and Christian portions 1184 and 17th cent. it has a ramp to the top, no stairs so the sultan could ride his horse up to the top for the magnificent views. then to the plaza del triunfel built after the triumph of the 1755 lisboa earthquake- this because those at mass in the cathedral survived the quake- . the puerto del leon new entry to the alcazar - red lion- then onto the patio de banderos, patio of the flags, the old military square of the alcazar ( good irrigation technique for the orange trees) then through a passage to the Fuentes de dona elvira- a beautiful tiled square with fountain. then back to cathedral and homeLäs mer

patio courtyards
15 maj 2022, Spanien ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C
we got out at the early hour of 6 pm.....that's what happens when you are up to 2 am and sleep till 1130. not sure if it is jet lag or just the Spanish way! we peeked in at some courtyards in our neighborhood and they were beautiful. the outer doors are open but inner metal door is locked. I think this is all for good air circulation in this hot climate it sure works for our place. also a pic of a neighborhood balcony enclosed in glass with the palm leaf.Läs mer

another mary procession
15 maj 2022, Spanien ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C
As we wandered in the neighborhood we found a church Parroquia del senor san Isidora. beautiful cross out front. It is the patron saint of Madrid who we met on friday where they were having celebrations. today is his Feast day. we wandered on found another church" iglesia de san alberto oratorio de san Felipe"- church of st albert philippians father- but not sure where entrance was. we went around looking for the front and by the time we got back the first church was open and all these guys were dressed in their headgear to carry a mary float, this at the st isidora church. we went in and watched as they carried her out of the church with all the pageantry. we then went to eat and wandered to another church the big red one - san Salvador- (turns out this was the location of the original mosque here from 9th-12th century.- anyway the Mary float was making it's way onto the square. san Salvador church is the 2nd largest church in Sevilla.

patio de las doncellas
17 maj 2022, Spanien ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C
this may be my favorite room with the central pool and horseshoe arches.
this was the centre of king Pedro's palace. pedro I abandoned his wife and moved to the alcazar with his mistress Doña María de Padilla. the courtyard was originally a single story and Charles vi -isabella's grandson and katherine of aragons nephew-added the upper renaissance 16th century storey.

mudejar style lobed arches and elaborate tracery. renaissance style rounded arches and less declaration- rick steevesLäs mer
