Feria de Javi Benavente

In preparation for Feria de Abril and to celebrate his newly earned engineering degree, the fullback of the team, Javi had a "Feria" themed party last Sunday complete with flamenco dancing, baile sevillana and lots of Tortillas Espanola (eggs, potatoes and onions), barbacued pork, jamon serrano, olives and Manzanilla and Sprite (the preferred drink of Feria). Everyone either knows how to sing all the Sevillana songs, play guitar, drum or dance - quite a musical group for a bunch of football players... There wasn't a moment of the party where someone wasn't singing or dancing "Sevillana." Rafa and one of Javi's friend Macarena dancing "Sevillana" - Sevilla's version of flamenco

Rafa singing and playing the guitar - he is amazing!!
