For me this photo by twitter pal Raúl Díaz really sums up today (and probably the rest of the week). It’s the best of both worlds when you know the land around you is getting a much needed drink yet you are all cosy inside watching it come down from a warm and dry comfortable distance. Raúl took this photo today in the centre of Sevilla.

Today is World Water Day and Emasesa’s Autobus del Agua will be parked in front of Metropol Parasol in Plaza Encarnación until 8 pm this evening. Normally the bus visits schools and educates children about the importance of saving water and simple day-to-day ways this can be done. Other activities this week include special public openings on Friday and Saturday of the Estación de Ecología Acuática in the Cartuja, where you can visit the aquarium and see the water life native to the Guadalquivir River. And Saturday and Sunday the Jardín Botánico El Arboreto de El Carambolo, which was created by Emasesa in 1986, will also be open to the public. I didn’t know before today that either of these places existed and the aquarium is usually only accessible if you take part in a guided group tour, so this is a good opportunity to stop by and see it, and would make for a great outing with kids.
