Today was our group’s last full day in Sevilla.

After a free morning, we had a lovely farewell lunch in our hotel (mmm … paella) and then some of us walked over to the feria and others took a taxi. Walking gave most of us the opportunity to see a multitude of horse-drawn carriages driving in traffic, headed to the feria with full loads of passengers.

While we were waiting to cross a street near the fairgrounds, a coach that we had seen yesterday morning drove by. I was actually trying here to take a photo of the next vehicle in traffic behind the coach, but it turned out that Andrew was simultaneously pointing out the Park Drag:

After we’d all walked around for a bit, admiring the sights, our host from yesterday morning’s visit stopped his horse at the curb where several of us were standing and invited our group for a ride on the Park Drag in question. There were nine of us standing there at the time, so eight filled the seats on the coach and, well, I took a few pictures.

Later in the afternoon, I was fortunate to be able to sit in the shade and enjoy the parade of horses, carriages, and people — accompanied, of course, by the sound of hooves and carriage wheels on cobblestones, music, singing, laughter, and conversation.
