Sevilla odds and ends (vino naranja, public art)

A few odds and ends.

Our airbnb host left us his own recommendations for things to see and do around the city.  He included a "bars and restaurants" section, each entry of which encouraged us to "have a drink and some olives" there, as well as a "dining" section which instructed us to "have a drink and some olives" at each restaurant.

One notable exception was the mention of vino naranja, a wine made from oranges.  So, we decided to go try a glass together with an unknown dessert we decided to risk pointing to on the menu.  It turned out to be something like a butterscotch pudding with a sauce that included a reduction of the orange wine.  The orange wine itself was (David thought, ) delicious!  It was quite sweet, and had a similar flavor to other dessert wines, but hinting toward orange.



We also discovered an amazing public art piece in one of the plazas, near our house (strangely modern for that part of town).
