Energy Devouring Monsters

This is so cool (pun not intended) … an exhibit of artistically decorated fridges put on by Havana Cultura to promote creative ways of recycling electrical appliances and conserving energy. You can read more about it here and also watch a video about the exhibit:

Havana Cultura: Exhibition Energy Devouring Monsters

There are many very elaborate and arty fridges on display
but this one is my favourite because it made me laugh out loud.

XVI bienal de flamenco

azahar2 Comments

The world-renowned Bienal de Flamenco in Sevilla has taken place every two years since it was first established in 1980 and features performances from the world’s most respected baile (dance), toque (guitar) and cante (singing) artists, taking place in various venues around Sevilla. I’m still hoping to get to the closing concert if anyone has a spare ticket….

Mercado de la Feria

azahar1 Comment


It’s been years since I visited the Feria Market – the oldest market in Sevilla – and so the other day I stopped by late on a very hot Saturday morning. The market comprises two buildings, separated by a small alleyway, next door to the 13th century Omnium Sanctorum Church on Feria Street. There are the usual displays of fresh fish, meat and produce, as well as a well-stocked florist and some small shops that run along the outside of the market. But for me the biggest attraction is the fabulous market bar that serves up super-fresh fish and seafood tapas. La Cantina is found right next to the church; in fact its terrace incorporates a length of the old church wall. The service is fast & friendly and it’s a great place to stop off for a quick bite. Open during market hours, 7am – 4.30 pm, Monday to Saturday.
