This happens more often than I have ever encountered in any other city, a procession just marches by. Here are a couple of pictures, as usual, from my balcony because who has time to run downstairs to get the photos?
The Christmas street lighting this year looks like this.
Pepe was over to help me with a few household things and we were talking restaurants, he mentioned Eslava. I said I'd never been, to which he looked incredulous because it is one of the oldest most revered in Sevilla, Eslava link. So he booked us a table with his mom and baby Daniel. The food was great and it was a lovely afternoon!
Going out to lunch is a treat these days, Bruce and I used to lunch out several times a week. Now if I get bored with my own cooking I go to a take out place which cooks genuinely good food which is a great resource for me.
My friends Jeff and Jessica came to visit from California! It was a quick whistle stop on their three week tour of Spain and France, ending in London. We met Friday afternoon and came back to my place for cava and Spanish snacks. Saturday they took a very comprehensive tour of Sevilla and saw all the major sights. Sunday we got together with Pepe, Marta and babe Daniel at La Chala for lunch. As in the past (usually with Ryan and Angela) the food and service were top notch. Jaime our regular server was not doing our section but came over to say hola.
It was a quick visit but a lovely one and they are talking about coming back to Sevilla, so all very good.
Wishing you and your families a Merry Christmas and safe and Happy New Year!
Cheers, Bev and Lexi Cat
