Finally, I got back to Sevilla for Feria this year, and got to spend a lot of time with my Spanish family, the Manolo Esquivias & Mari Carmen Onrubia clans, who have one of the most wonderful casetas in la Feria de Sevilla, La Castita de Don Manuel. 

Mari Carmen Onrubia de Esquivias dressed in another one of her fabulous flamenco dresses with a superb hand-embroidered vintage mantón de Manila shawl (made in Spain, but named for Manila), held in place by a lovely butterfuly pin, Caseta Los Nietos de Don Manuel, Feria de Sevilla, April 14, 2016. Mari Carmen has a different dress and differnet shawl for every day of the Feria. Photo by Gerry Dawes©2016, Canon M3

  Shall deeds of Caesar or Napoleon ring
More true than Don Quixote's vapouring?
Hath winged Pegasus more nobly trod
Than Rocinante stumbling up to God?
 
Poem by Archer M. Huntington inscribed under the Don Quixote on his horse Rocinante bas-relief sculpture by his wife, Anna Vaughn Hyatt Huntington,
in the courtyard of the Hispanic Society of America’s incredible museum at 613 W. 155th Street, New York City.
