This has been making the rounds on Twitter and Facebook all week.
In case you haven’t seen it, wonderful flamenco flash mob at Spanish bank.

Come to Sevilla!

I love this video done by TurismoSevillaTV (though in some parts the editing is a bit choppy). It gives you a nice visual overview of Spain’s most beautiful city.

Apparently this video made the rounds last year. Somehow I missed it – thanks to Mike at Lanzarote Information for reposting it on FB this morning. All of us who have had to deal with the Spanish paperwork system have been here…
Christmas Mapping 2011

Last night I caught the final “mapping” projection show at city hall. Not sure if it lived up to all the hype, but it was kinda cool. I actually preferred the little festive light show afterwards…

Norberto León Rios – Serigrafías Exquísitas
It was more than five years ago that I first happened upon Norberto León’s tiny studio while out for tapas with my flatmate Peter and my dear friend Craig. It was a truly magical experience to come across Norberto and his helpers working away on that hot July night in 2006 and – me being nosy – popped my head inside to ask what was going on.
Since that night I’ve become pals with Norberto and we may still become biz associates one day (if I ever get my darned online store up and running!). I love his work and have had my eye on a rather large Sevilla serigraph skyline of his that I’d love to have in my living room. Well, maybe one day.
But today was a public holiday (Todos los Santos or The Day of the Dead) and by 11am I was getting a bit stir-crazy. Gym was closed, shops weren’t open, and what the hell was I going to do all day other than sit in front of the computer? So I decided to go out for a walk and do some work-related stuff, taking photos of a bar that I hope will become my latest social media client, and also a few photos of an actual client. It was a gorgeous morning – the first of November, 25º and me still wearing sandals.
And that’s when I saw Norberto sitting outside the cathedral, working away on his craft, with several items around him for sale. So we had a chat, I took this photo, got a kiss and then he told me about this video a friend of his had made about his work. I don’t think you need to understand Spanish to “get it”.
