Seville intoxicates, that’s for sure. Its narrow streets drip with oranges for most of the year, it claims to be the birthplace of flamenco and it hosts the biggest and best of Andalucia’s parties, the Feria in April. This page gathers up the best Seville stories and displays them right here…
Finding Forgotten Details – Seville Photos
I’ve been away from Seville for a long time. Not long enough to forget the sharp near salty tang of the local fino sherry, that bitter sensation that once warmed my throat like turpentine before seducing me with its subtler flavours. Not long enough to forget the…
Churros and Chocolate – A Spanish Antidote for a Spanish Anecdote
People never believe me, but it’s not always sunny in Spain. Even in Seville, Europe’s hottest city, winters are COLD, COLD, COLD. Well, OK, probably only the one “cold” would have done…
Inside Seville Cathedral
When it came to first impressions, the inside of Seville’s sprawling cathedral left me cold. I saw gloom and scaffolding, dust and darkness, and the dreams and shadows of the Spanish Inquisition lurking behind the many locked gates and doors…
Travel to Seville Through Fiction
The Seville Communion takes readers into two different worlds. It starts with the priests who guard the Pope’s personal computer in the Vatican. Then we meet Quart, a priest with more than a hint of James Bond and Luca Brazi, who works for the Pope and, well, Christianity at large. He…

She has not abandoned me…
Five symbols squeeze together, like children trying to fit into one photograph.
NO8DO, NO8DO, NO8DO.
It’s written on unfurling flags and…
Seville’s Hottest Party
Every ash cloud has a silver lining, as the new saying goes. One unexpected advantage, though, was…
Try To Forget About the Ku Klux Klan
On a spring afternoon, with orange blossom filtering the sunshine, I saw my first one. Looming tall and dressed entirely in black, the hood masked his face before rising upwards to a point above his head. His hands were gloved, the dark robe flowing and two, blinking dark eyes…
Candles & Candy Floss
The streets of Seville have thronged with Semana Santa this week. Between Palm Sunday and Easter itself, the city hosts a delicate combination of solemn religious processions and a candy-floss-coloured carnival…
Semana Santa
It’s Semana Santa or Holy Week in Seville. Here’s a sneak preview of a procession [...]
The Three Kings Festival – Reyes Magos in Spain
In Seville, children don’t hang stockings on Christmas Eve. They don’t listen for sleigh bells at night and would probably struggle with the concept of snow. Instead…
Sparks Fly in Seville
Sparks fly in Seville – and it’s all in the name of love, eternity and structural maintenance.
