One of the things
that I love most about Europe is the random fairs and festivals that pop up
overnight...
In my opinion there is no
better way to start a Sunday than at Starbucks. When I walked in I immediately noticed that suddenly
Starbucks and all of Sevilla for that matter have been transformed. Christmas cups,
music, and ambiance is in the air.
Hundreds of
Christmas lights were hung over the streets, trees, lampposts and stores.
Little booths were constructed along the tramline selling incense, Christmas
cookies and figurines for nativity scenes. They literally have everything from
miniature saucepans with eggs and bacon, to elaborate scenes with electrical
components.
As we walked
through el centro astounded by all the lights hanging, anticipating when they will be
turned on, we stumbled upon a full fledged renaissance fair. There was an
entire pig roasting on a spit, men having a sword fight in the street, artisans
selling their jewelry, owls, and some free puppies being given away? Of
course no festival is complete without a dazzling array of baked goods, cheeses, and
beers on tap.
A toffeenut latte and exploring the festival was the perfect end to this surprising weekend.
