GIANT photo post from Andalusia

Okay, it’s time for the massive photo post from Seville and Cordoba. I have been yearning to be back in this atmosphere all week, while going back to a particularly yawnsome inbox. Alas. Someone, bring me to a patio

All those gorgeous tiles...
Damn, scrolling through these gives me a massive wanderlust!

The most beautiful places, seriously. You could sit in any one of these buildings for hours, absorbing it. I just skipped all round them, gaping!

Petzi steered me to your photo post and it's odd to see all this through other eyes. It still feels like a stroll around home, though.
:)

Ah...and that golden yellow colour? That is called "albero! named after a golden clay from this area which only exists and is quarried in the area of the "Alcores" near Sevilla, in my husband's home town of Alcalá de Guadaira. The colours of the earth and sky are what define Sevilla.

*g* I know that feeling so well - I'm a Londoner, so constantly surprised what people visiting see in my city (and don't see tbh).

Very cool to know about albero, thank you. It really is the most perfect contrast with deep blue sky (and whitewash, and greenery). I've always loved that shade, and am trying to keep the holiday handbag in usable shape for a few more trips. It cheers me up so much.

Yes, I do understand what you mean about what they don't see. If you ever return, do contact me. I'm glad you enjoyed your visit here.

I have come to know a lot of London very well over the years but I know I've missed at least three/fourths of its essence.

I will do :-)

I have similar photographs of the same places! I am shamed that I haven't sorted mine out yet though...

And we barely dented the surface while you were here. You'll get to it when you get to it, Procrastinators unite! LOL

Irresistible to take pictures, I think. Such gorgeous places!

Wow! Just beautiful!

[brutti_ma_buoni]

It was pretty special. More so because I didn't really expect to fall in love with it quite so hard!

Gorgeous photos!
