After taking the super bus from Granada, we took a taxi to our hotel, checked in an then set out to explore Sevilla. We came upon their Central Park, which is named Maria Theresa. There are horses everywhere here. The police ride horses, there are carriages all over.
In the center of the part is this huge building which was built for the Exposition of 1929. Everyone must have had lots of money back then. It was huge and beautiful.
The next day we caught the train to Jerez de la Frontera to see the Andulusian Horse Show. The show is performed 3 times a week. There were tour buses everywhere.
Pictures weren't allowed inside the show. It was a huge game to attempt to sneak pictures. The ushers would walk up to offenders and wag their fingers. Later in the trip, we saw guards make a guy delete pictures from his camera. These were fascist countries not long ago and you can feel that in the air.
Jerez means sherry. This little city is where all the sherry comes from in Spain.
