The church bells are all chiming in competition as I write this on a Saturday full of weddings. You must put this city on your Bucket List. It is the amalamation of all history from before Christ to the present and promises beauty, richness in culture and arts, and the excitement of the new generation. Spain has sorely felt the slump in the European economy, but the cities still feel vibrant (thanks to tourism!). Highlights today were tours of the Plaza de Espania, built as part of the big1929 Iberian Exhibition, wandering the streets of the old Jewish quarter, visiting the magnificent gothic cathedral, (1400), once a Moorish mosque (1100), which houses the tomb of Christopher Columbus, sharing more tapas with friends. Tonight we saw a flamenco show before our fashionably late dinner at 9:00 (still can't get used to eating at such a dark and late hour).

I love the flamenco dancers!
