Presenting Augustine with 11 Region Pennant

IPA Seville Tour By David King , Surrey Branch

On 16th October Caroline and I met up with IPA Barcelona and IPA Seville for a three-day IPA tour of Seville. IPA Barcelona was on a tour around Spain and had arranged to meet up with members of Seville IPA.We met up with IPA Barcelona at the hotel at Ilunion Alcore, Seville. Augustine IPA Barcelona whom we had me previously a couple of years ago made us welcome and we also renewed our friendship with Ken Bates IPA member from San Francisco who was on the tour. After drinks we had a wonderful evening meal and Flamenco show at a Flamenco venue, arranged by IPA Seville. It was one of the best we have ever seen. At the end we were taken behind the scenes to meet the dancers whose performance was so professional, special thank you to IPA Seville for arranging a wonderful evening The following day we were taken by coach for a guided tour of Seville arranged by IPA Seville. We were taken to all the places of interest as well as enjoying free time to explore the city on our own. Seville is a wonderful city in Spain and I highly recommend it .Thank you IPA Barcelona and Seville for making us so welcome and joining you for a part of your tour.
