Boat Race

No. Not that one (although it does get a mention).

I’m talking about the annual boat race between the football clubs of Sevilla and Real Betis.

No, I hadn’t heard of it either. But, thankfully, The Tim Traveller is there – once again – to help us out with a short, but entertaining and educational video:

Lovely stuff, as always.

But his video (as her reveals at the end) was shot last year, while this year’s race took place this last weekend.

And with Betis on a 14 year winning streak… it was time for Sevilla to make a comeback. So did they?

Setenil de las Bodegas

This is a town in Andalucía (some of) which is literally built into the cliffs of the gorge that surrounds it.

But don’t take my word for it. The Tim Traveller has been there and checked it out in a(nother) typically quirky video:

The background music (performed by him, I believe) is just so good. Subtly clever.

And what a place.

Enjoy a fun five minutes with his witty commentary down in Southern Spain.
