Hot Art Stuff

Summers in Seville are torrid affairs but that's a small inconvenience if you want inspiration for your art.  At noon and in the afternoons, the streets are empty but life resumes when the heat dissipates with the setting sun.  It's no wonder that the people of Seville lead exciting nocturnal lives and from there you can pick up ideas for your canvass.  In the daytime, the vast outdoors, quaint villages, the hustle and bustle of living in the city of Seville and in the outskirts of the city is an endless source for artistic expression. 

Great Spanish painters such as El Greco, Francisco Goya, Diego Velazquez, Salvador Dali and Pablo Picasso have mined the richness and texture of Spanish life into their canvasses - and their art lives on to inspire future artists.  Diego Velazquez's "The Waterseller of Seville" would teach art students Velazquez's depth in capturing a calm scene. 

Seville is also the birthplace of Bartolome Esteban Murillo, who made a mark in the arts by specializing in painting depicting Madonna and child.  If you want to compare the art work of these famous Spanish painters, you can view some of their work in the Museo de Bellas Artes.  The museum building has stunning patios, which is also worth the visit.   

Seville has several art schools to sate art lust of tourist hoping to learn more tricks in painting, flamenco dancing, flamenco guitar, percussion, cottage craft, and Macarena.  Seville classes for flamenco dancing have a friendly atmosphere.  There are intensive courses for beginners and professional flamenco dancers and guitarists.  For the summer, you can join a class just to have a taste of Seville's artsy offerings. 

A Sevilla summer vacation - dancing away for three hours each day and learning how to hammer your feet in rhythm to the beat - sounds easy.  But frankly it's hard work that burns your calories.  That's better than allowing the calories to pile after all the feasting because Seville is a city that has reasons to celebrate everyday.  There are fiestas here and there and the locals open their doors to tourists to let them savor the fiesta life.

To make your summer stay in Seville more memorable, rent a villa in the outskirts of the city or if you are budget bound, there are holiday apartments providing good service and amenities.  Seville is also a center for five star hotels for those who want first class accommodation.  Book your holiday apartment online and get ready for a summer that's fun and educational.
