sevilla tranquila
i finished working near avignon at the beginning of march, and as i still have the nomadism illness, i just went to sevilla to join tom, a friend from marseille doing his erasmus year there. i m still here now. the weather is nice, hot, street are thin, full of orange trees, oranges that you can try but that finnally you understand why nobody takes them (very acids) bikes everywhere, people playing flamenco in the street, drinking beer all the afternoon, having tapas or montaditos (little sandwiches of ham -ay caramba- cheese and olive oil on hot bread) for dinner very late at night, gypsy markets, a lot of tourists and specially french people. it s an other way of life, here in andalucia, even different from barcelona or somewhere else. the shops, the city is dead between 2pm and 6 pm, and then comes back to life until 2 or 3 in the morning, even the sundays evening (i mean for people that are not specially noctambul) my feeling about it: a very nice, and calm way of life, nobody seems to be in a hurry, and a lot of animation but, there s nothing crazy here like (in my mind) istanbul or marseille, little bars with concerts.... but there s "la fabrika de sombreros", an occupied place where a lot of free activities take place. like capoera, joggling, clown, flamenco, paintings..... and a lot more. that s the best place i saw here in sevilla. but now, they are in threat of explusion (since yesterday) cause this place is illegally occupied. so let s see what s gonna happen there, if the police comes or not. but i guess something is gonna happen very soon.
