Horses, Jacarandas, and the Perfect Cádiz Sunset

Edition #128 of 365

The air is thick with the final scent of orange blossom and the first hint of sea salt. Jacaranda trees are starting to paint the streets of Sevilla and Málaga in shades of violet. It is that magical window where the days feel infinite and the evenings are just warm enough for a light linen jacket.

Inland, Sevilla and Córdoba are warming up to a balmy 28°C, perfect for an alfresco lunch. Higher up in the Sierra Nevada, the air remains crisp even as the winter snow finally begins to melt from the peaks.
