Seville Seville is part 2 ssspecial
Seville part 2… Seville is ssspecial1st off, many (not all) of the people in Seville have a lisp. My tour guide for the day had one when only speaking Spanish but not English. The story goes that there was a king that lived in Seville many years ago who had a lisp, so people around him started to adopt one to be fashionable. Years later it stuck and supposedly you can tell who was raised in Seville by hearing this. It sounds like a loony toons episode with Sylvester the cat being dubbed in Spanish. It was funny to hear our guide order “dos cervesas.” (that’s 4 “s” sounds) My walking tour was great, learned a lot about the city. Flamingo dancing is very popular here and a lot of the stores sell flamingo dresses. I went to a show and was not all too impressed, it was a mixture of Irish dancing with the feet and Hawaiian hula dancing with the hands, and the women dancers just look pissed off. Yeahhhhhhhhhh.
The city itself is beautiful with a lot of Romans, Jews, Muslims (Moors) and Catholic history. The story added to my appreciation of architecture and the city as a whole. On 2 separate occasions I felt I was in Las Vegas, while in this city. The first time was at my stop one day a week ago and then again on my last day in Seville when he was walking to parkque Maria Luisa, in particular the place of Spain. It was built for a world's fair, but it can double as the front of a casino in Las Vegas on the strip. The Plaza de Encarnacion was pretty impressive as well and was right near where I stayed.
Were to take the train to Cordoba for a tour of the day or night.
