Holiday Lights
Topic: Christmas

December 4th was the first night for the Christmas lights to be turned on in Seville. It also marks the start of a 4 day weekend with the holidays on Sunday and Tuesday. We took a stroll around the city.

In La Campana we found a replica of La Giralda made entirely of sugar

A few blocks away was this belen in the trunk of a car. This guy shows up during Semana Santa and Feria as well, with something similar in the back of his car.

El Corte Ingles also changed their lights this year

We turned up Tetuan / Velazquez

Then back on Calle Sierpes

The corner of Sierpes and Sagasta

Now towards the Plaza Nueva

Tables ready for diners, although it is quite cold

The Ayuntamiento, or Town Hall, nativity scene

Adjacent was the Christmas tree

In Plaza Nueva everything was lit up and included a sculpture exhibit

More of the Plaza Nueva

And more of the Plaza Nueva

A look back

And on our way home people were still in the Plaza Salvador
