What an amazing town - magical indeed!
5 years agoI'm in! Where's the next tour?
When people ask me how early retirement is going, I will be proud to say I've landed a gig as Team Anderson Concept Person.
Can't wait to hear about the flamenco show. That was one of my favorite outings during the trip there.
To be there during Holy Week was unforgettable, but I wouldn't do it again. I get a little anxious in large crowds. After that a friend and I did a village-to-village hike in .. I think it was called Las Alpujarras. One of our favorite places was called Alquería de Morayma .. I think in the town of Treveléz.
What a great idea! I didn’t think of it at the time, and was mostly fixed on having to give a 20 euro bill for a one euro charge.
You do have the best ideas. We’re going to have to stow you along in one of the panniers too, I think. You can be the team concept person.
Thanks, Jen. I’ve been staring at it again, trying to decide if it’s really full or not. Looks like maybe I should have waited another ten minutes or so. Or maybe it’s waning already.
5 years agoThe souvenir I gave my mom from Spain was a Virgin del Rocío tile that I bought in Seville .. so this was really cool to see the town of El Rocío and learn a bit about it!! What a special place. And I love the idea of visiting during its quiet time.
5 years agoWow!
5 years agoGreat shot and definitely worth a euro!
Next time, maybe you can bargain .. tell them they can take a photo of your GBO in exchange for a pony photo. Clearly a win for the guy that walks away with a photo of the most well-traveled bottle opener in the world.
If it weren't for the cigarette hanging out of his mouth, he'd look pretty cool.
5 years agoYes! Would be great to see you lined up next to these guys, sans cigarette of course.
5 years agoWell, unusual or not, it looks spectacular. I understand why you would want to spend more time there.
5 years agoI’d forgotten about Makoshika and that the Gumby’s went there last year. Yes, them too - also the formations around Capitol Reef that are similar to those.
So, not so unusual after all. Spots like this are a dime a dozen around the world, it seems. I don’t know why we were so impressed.
Poor me. The only time I got to be in Seville was Holy Week. Sigh.
Holy Seville! That must have been incredible! Terrible time to show up with a bicycle though, I’m sure. As bad as trying to ride into El Rocio during its pilgrimage. I can only imagine.
And yes, we’ll see flamenco in Seville, so that’s something anyway. Thanks for reminding me about it - I found and booked seats at a show.
Mum’s the word.

It is amazing. For as much traveling as we’ve been blessed to do over the years, you’d think we’d grow a bit jaded. So many places though are just absolutely unique.
