Day one

Today we flew in to Seville, which is the capital of Andalucía Spain. When we got in to the airport we were greeted by locals who said Buenos dias (good morning), bienveindos (welcome). We were then taken to our hotel by taxi, which looked kind of different, (they were white with green lights). During our stay we stayed at the Hotal Hesperia.

After we checked in and relaxed for an hour or two we decided to have a look around town at the shopping and local sights. We decided to travel in the June period as that’s when the weather was the nicest, and before it gets too hot. We then decided that we would go and see the El agua en la pintura andaluza (water in Andalucían Painting) exhibition at the Museo de Bellas Artes, which is a museum in Seville.

The exhibition was on display from the 24th of May through to the 22nd of July. The exhibition was divided into four parts; water as an essence and element, how water has been portrayed artistically. Water, society and life. Water, nature and landscape – seaside, rivers and banks. Water and symbology – where it represents life, fertility and purity.

The exhibition was interesting, because it was a different culture and art other than our own, although it was a little boring and I don’t think I would bother going to it again.
