Locations in Seville - day 2

by Fi_Francombe on 06-Nov-09 09:36

From yesterday's experience it would seem that although the expo is open between 10.00 - 20.00, the main activity happens between 11.00 - 13.00 and 17.00 - 19.00.  Siesta-time still applies even in 20 degrees in November!

Last night I was invited to the 'Opening Party' which turned out to be drinks and canapés at the Real Alcazar; a rather beautiful Moorish building very close to the Cathedral.
The 'Party' consisted of speeches (in Spanish and English), an abundance of beer, wine and sherry served with interesting if eclectic canapés, followed by a Spanish singer with piano accompaniment singing 'Somewhere over the Rainbow'.  I left after about 1.5 hours and walked back to the hotel through the Santa Cruz district (the old part of the city.)
Hotel problems now sorted out..a much better night's sleep!

I'm hoping to go to a seminar today on co-production financing, as well as talking to the Bond team about choosing locations for the Bond movies. I want to check out the Film Festival list of attendees too, to get a better idea of who comes and how seriously it's taken.
