01.12.2015 Gran Canaria/Seville:
We’re now pretty familiar with the airport in Gran Canaria and we were looked after well by our handling agent. Everything worked out perfectly. Martin drove the van over the airstrip to photograph various planes while I got the plane ready for take-off. We didn’t need any aviation fuel because our spare tank was full enough to take us to Brazil. After taking off, our route led us this time to Lanzarote which I knew well from paragliding. After a while, we saw Casablanca in the distance and flew along the coast of Africa’s to Tangiers and Gibraltar before landing in Seville. The fuel-pump attendant there talked to me about the Hannover 96 and Seville soccer clubs. He commented that he would like 96 to win because he was fan of another club in Seville and would enjoy the rivals seeing defeat. Then a handling agent came on the scene. He was on the phone and talked non-stop, regardless of the fact that we couldn't understand him. So he wasn’t exactly friendliness personified and didn’t even bother to help us carry the luggage.
So that wasn’t really the positive impression of Seville that Martin had told me about. According to him it was an attractive town on a river and a place you enjoy going to. We’ll have to see!
