Daytime temperature reaches about 40 degrees Celsius (104 F) before noon and stays that way well into the evening.  Being outside constantly reminds us that we need to somehow cope with this relentless, intense heat.  I suppose that is a typical day in Seville during summer months.  I got together with several local artists on such (in other words, brutally hot) a day to paint around town (click here to read related story).

First we headed to the Alcazar Gardens.  Simply a divine environment for plein-air painters like us.  Sometime after lunch, just when I felt like seeking some cool shelter, I found out that was also on the minds of these die-hard painters of Seville.  They suggested we go to Hotel Alfonso XIII, a historical 5-star establishment in the city.  The architectural details,  interior décor, spacious courtyard, gracious staff who gave us non-paying visiting artists royal treatment... all this with a very pleasant sense of camaraderie with painter friends, the experience was pure luxury.
