Tapas are appetizer-sized dishes commonly served between lunch and dinner time at bars and cafés in Spain.
Today's photos are small samplings of some of the sights I've seen, so far, in Sevilla. These were shot during a 4+ mile walk this afternoon, starting and ending at our flat near the Cathedral.Top: View northward at Plaza Don Juan de Austria, a traffic circle.
Second: A narrow street in the Barrio Santa Cruz. According to the Frommer's guide book, this barrio, the former Jewish quarter, "is quintessential Seville."
Third: We worry about the influence of "big tobacco" on environmental health research in the US. The University of Sevilla is housed in the former tobacco factory, as testified by these decorative tiles on the outside wall! 
Fourth: Along Avenida Constitución, just west of the Cathedral, is a display of about 50 photos of African women by Angele Etoundi Essamba. The photos measure about 4 x 8 feet and attract a lot of attention. I especially like this one in blue. Bottom: Plaza de España, the site of the 1929 Ibero-American Exhibition, designed by Aníbal González, "Sevilla's most famous 20th century architect."
