Christmas in Seville - not exactly a tradition. We hoped to find some lights, decorations or other Holiday signs. Well - it turned out to be unusual, actually. The tour bus took us to the Plaza de Espana - built for a World Exposition. Very impressive. While exploring and taking pictures, a gypsy appeared and read our palms. She had a tight grip and we couldn't say no. Of course we couldn't understand each other but the future seems to be bright. The roll of film which included this stop and our arrival in Cadiz has somehow disappeared! The other remarkable occurance was the opening of the Cathedral doors. Our guide said they haven't been opened in his memory. The organ music poured out into the street and the bells were deafening. Quite moving.
