Seville Snapshots: The View from Patio de los Naranjos
July 9, 2012 by · 7 Comments
As I hang out up north, running a summer camp and looking after 16 teachers and a blogger, I’m pining for Seville: the heat, the food, the open, wide sky. I’m delighted that Christine in Spain sent me a gorgeous picture that encompasses so many wonderful things about the city, and that she was patient enough to wait in line.
Says Christine: I chose to contribute this photo in particular because I think it captures the essence of Seville: the orange trees which are so symbolic of the city, and the commanding presence of the Cathedral and Giralda in the background. I took this on a mild, sunny January day when the streets were buzzing with people as they so often seem to do in Spain.

A lovely shot! Is your weather not good in Cantabria, then?
I’m actually in Galicia, and we’ve had very little sun. Makes for a cozy afternoon watching movies in bed, though!! Hoping to get to the beach in a few days, though.
Silly me, I know you are. Always get my “ia’s” mixed up!
Love her blog and love this pic!
Love her & her pic!
Isn’t it great? So fitting for Seville.
Gorgeous, dah-ling–this pic makes me want to find an orange grove to skip through!
