Guitar Player on the Old Bridge in Ronda, Spain

It’s hard to avoid guitar players in some towns in Spain but this one was actually pretty good and I did buy his CD which, surprise, surprise, actually sounded quite good when I played it at home.

Pequenas Senoritas en Seville

These two little girls were actually Peruvian, on holiday in Spain (I had their father’s permission to photograph them). He told me they that they had bought the costumes in Seville and insisted on wearing them all the time. He was going to buy a Spanish guitar for himself, and his wife, at that moment, was shopping for a black mantilla!

Viva España!

    Yes, they are. And in this lockdown time it’s so good to have an excuse to delve into the past and relive happier times.

    I can see why you wanted to photograph the girls – very festive. Spain is one of our favourite countries and a country where people generally do look happy.

      Glad the photos appeared. I hate phones for internet work as I never find them to work properly, and anyway, I like a full-blown-up picture. I’m devoted to my desk-top and will still buy another one when this one gives up the ghost. Even my IPad I only use when travelling.

      I couldn’t agree more. Spain is a lovely country to visit and I’m always happy there. Many years ago we had a car crash in Spain and ended up in hospital for 3 weeks there but we came home having made more friends in those weeks than we could believe. Villagers came from miles around to bring bottles of wine and sherry – and sympathy. It cemented my love of that country – and we still have the friends we made there.

      Yes, I always wanted a Princess dress when I was young but I never got one, so I never became a princess – even for a day. I can well believe that these young girls will spend a lot of time in their fancy clothes when they get back home!

      For some reason my reply to you is appearing right at the bottom of the others. The ways of WP are indeed strange.

    Beautiful captures of moments of strong Spanish identity.

      Thank you. I always feel that Seville, more than any other city, carries the essence of Spain in its streets. It’s a city I never tire of.

      I always feel that Seville is more “Spanish” than other cities, but maybe that’s just me. It’s a city I never tire of.
