... well, not quite live from the VdlP, but live from Seville in any case. Arrived this afternoon and the weather is muggy sticky hot - it´s been drizzling a bit this evening and it helps to cope with the heat but not much.
I checked into the Hotel Simon, then walked 15-20 mins to the Amigos office (they are meant to be open 7-9pm) and found the door locked and a notice on the door saying that if they are unexpectedly closed, the credencial can be obtained from.... the Hotel Simon!! Doh!
In the 5 mins that I was in front of the Amigos office, 2 other people (both Spanish) also showed up wanting a credencial - I guess this shows I won´t be the only one on the VdlP after all.
Am not really "feeling" Seville - the amount of car traffic really irritates me - there are cars even in places where there should not be cars! I can´t wait to get away to a bit of peace and quiet, and in fact if I had not prepaid the hotel for 2 nights, I might have left tomorrow morning instead of Thursday!
I have planned to get up really early tomorrow and explore the city before it gets busy - I might then feel differently about it. There are some lovely buildings but all I am aware of at the moment is the amount of tourists, the cars everywhere, and the smell of horse pee and horse poo drifting here and there!
