My first day in Spain (Part 2)



The sky here is very blue and many days without a cloud in sight...
... so the sun really gets to shine and heat up the air, the streets, the houses... To have a siesta is not about being lazy, it's about the afternoon hours being too hot for work :)
The trees not only freshen up the scenery with their greenery, but also provide a cooling shadow to seek shelter from the sun. The picture is of a small park on Calle de la Feria, which is the street you take to go to the Plaza from RocĂ­o's house.
Another picture from the same park. The typical features and shapes of the houses, benches in the parks, the lamp posts in the streets etc. really please my eye - they have something of the old times in them.
