Last week I organized a charity tour for the charity fund of the American Women's Club. Proceeds from the tour will benefit La Sonrisa de un Niño, a Sevillian children's association.
Fittingly for All Saints Day, I conducted a walking tour of the San Fernando Municipal Cemetery. Famous bullfighters and flamenco artists have found their final resting place there, as have painters and sculptors. Most of these graves are adorned with wonderful bronze statues. In addition, in the early 20th century, the crème de la crème of Regionalismo architects designed impressive mausoleums and pantheons for Sevillian families.
Nevertheless, the most interesting part of the cemetery is the Dissident Cemetery, which vividly depicts Sevillian history over the last 150 years.
In the newest part of the necropolis, the graves of the Gitano families stand out, richly decorated with floral decorations.
Thanks to all participants!
