    Que buenas fotos. Tu direccion la he cogido del blog de Laura ASI ME GUSTA EL MUNDO.
    Si alguna vez visita mi blog HISPALIS ISBILIA NUESTRA SEVILLA, mira la parte de Barrio de Santa cruz o Plaza de España. a mi también me gustaba pintar al oleo y he puesto algunos cuadros de Sevilla.
    Vendré mas veces por tu blog para ver esas fotos.
