Sevilla’s Semana Santa – Easter taken seriously

Plenty of time to reflect ;) . The scents of flowers and green leaves in the gardens of Sevilla are refreshing and raise your spirits, and are if anything only intensified by the rain. This is an excellent city.

Alcazar
A photo constitutes merely an insult to the true beauty of the magnificent Alcazar. I read up on the building, yet was ill-prepared for its subtle brilliance. Location: heart of the city, next to the main square.

Alcazar
Arabic tilings strike a chord with me, with their repetitive geometrical shapes graced with many subtleties. There will be more to come :D .

My ride...
Will not get you laid, will get you around town. Cycling makes me happy!

Semana Santa
Nazarenos of one of many processions during Semana Santa (Holy week of Easter).

Dutch literature
Dutch literature.

Pornography, no less
Sevilla’s Cathedral and Giralda is vast and impressive. The main altar, however, is just pornography. The gold, silver, saints, works of art all numb your eyes.

Semana Santa
The pasos are carried around town by men for up to 12 hours…

Semana Santa madness
You’re not the only one in Sevilla during Semana Santa.
