They're never very long. IKEA, on the other hand, does us both in every time. <br /><br />The combinations here of Moorish, baroque, gothic, rococo, and who-knows-what-else architecture can sure be surprising, over the top, and beautiful.Moving with Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12954028272162285597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2367834014770669778.post-18938828987927530102011-08-28T12:28:00.201+02:002011-08-28T12:28:00.201+02:00I'd find those narrow alleyways spooky in the ...I'd find those narrow alleyways spooky in the night-time. One would imagine being a sitting target - well, a walking target - for muggers. Even during daylight they must be hellish for claustrophobes. Certainly quaint, though.<br />And isn't that church so garishly camp? I love it!!!Raybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424095016313843883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2367834014770669778.post-69120746941185192572011-08-28T10:38:35.051+02:002011-08-28T10:38:35.051+02:00Craig:

It's happening less often, but that will change since we're about to expand our explorations.<br /><br />Gary:<br />The maze of streets is definitely more satisfying than the rat's maze and I love the idea of Sevilla as a sultry Latin stranger.Moving with Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12954028272162285597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2367834014770669778.post-28080511394058058792011-08-28T04:00:52.085+02:002011-08-28T04:00:52.085+02:00Mitch,

I read somewhere that the buildings are that close so that part of the next building is in the shade, or to create shaded walkways(?). A Saudi once told me ¨we drive in the shade¨.
