Save Seville

Seville´s socialist mayor and his vice-mayor are working to save Seville from the degradation and injury that excessive exploitation  for the satisfaction of mass tourism provokes.  Mayor Espada and Mr. Muñoz deserve our applause. At last local political leaders have taken a firm stand against the saturation of the loveliest parts of the city with cheap, noisy and visually offensives  hamburger joints,  bars and EAT HERE NOW greasy spoons.  Like Florence, Rome and Venice, Seville has said enough! Tourist dollars  can not be allowed to buy the city´s soul. The noble and socially conscious  shop owners and bar-keeps cry crocodile teas claiming that such moves to clear streets and plazas of their occupational-like   presence will be negative for employment.  Pure nonsense! The mayor has wisely decided to save Seville so that tourists will  want to return to appreciate her again and to insure that the lovely city whose streets we stroll will be here tomorrow for our children.
