A description of life in the village of Pruna, nestled in the Andalusian mountains of Seville

From September onwards there is gap in evening events because everyone is so exhausted from the August feria when the village goes mental for several days.

But the morning pilates, aerobics, and dance classes are held in the gym, free, they are paid for by the council, and you have never expereinced a pilates class like it!! First of all the music, not a harp sound in hearing, we exercised to Prodigy!! And the cool down music was Chemical Brothers! It was a fun class with more emphasis on small movements than breathing (or was there? (could I have understood complex pilates breathing instructions? as the answer is a resounding NO then perhaps the instructor went into great detail). As someone who does pilates at home and who walks and does aerobics it came as a shock to me that I could barely move the next day without wincing.

The morning walks will be starting now, four mornings a week they meet opposite Racos for a one/two hour walk, usually with dogs.

There is free evening dance classes at the Casino Bar, very welcoming!! Think of line dancing with salsa and you will not be far off.

There are free Flamenco dance classes Wednesday afternoons at the Pena Flamenco (above the Casa Municipal).

We are all made very welcome at these events, the locals are very happy to see us, but to be honest, though my Spanish is quite good, I find it very difficult to understand the thick Andalucian accents, so just smile. A good trick is, if you know their daughter or granddaughter/grandson to tell how beautiful they are. Always goes down well.

So though the summer coach trips, aqua aerobics, yoga, and concerts have stopped there is still so much to do, and Christmas is soon upon us and then the partying begins again!
