Sunny Spain

Travel With Me Tuesday: Sevilla

While getting into Sevilla was a nightmare, the city certainly lived up to its reputation as a beauty.  I had a friend in grade and high school who went to visit relatives in Sevilla long, long ago so it was a city I'd always wanted to see. Fortunately, we were visiting long after the Franco era.

Travel With Me Tuesday: Goodbye Costa del Sol , Hello Tarifa

This album about Spain and Portugal turned out to be a fairly lengthy one so I hope you enjoy seeing these images. If not, ignore me on Tuesdays for a while.

Travel With Me Tuesday: Spain 2008 Granada

This turned out to be one of my most enjoyable days in Spain. The beautiful weather certainly helped. Seeing the Alhambra was a very moving experience for me. The Arab architecture and design were things I was often unable to see in the years that I lived in the Middle East because of conflict and revolution.  A cultural gap was filled.

Travel With Me Tuesday: Spain 2008 Gibraltar

After our day in Ronda, we headed off to a bit of Britain - Gibraltar. An amazing site to see just coming up out of the water like that. A money change to the British pound from the Spanish euro.

The day was very windy and overcast which was also weather that induced us to buy some leather coats for ourselves. I hadn't planned to get a coat but it's one I've worn a lot since then. A good buy!

As I get more of these pages ready for their album, I'll be sharing them with you. I hope you enjoy a chance to see some of the beauty of Spain and Portugal through my eyes.

This day, back in February 2008, was a trip from coastal Spain up to Ronda. Lots of winding mountain roads and the continued challenge of being sure we were ready to eat when restaurants were open. His stomach didn't always agree with Spanish customs.

Ah yes, I still has my red hair then, over all the gray!

Travel With Me Tuesday: Day 1 in Estepona

After our wonderful meal in Jaen, we had the long drive south to Estepona where we settled into our villa, and crashed. It had been a long day but in all a good day. The next day our time in the Costa del Sol began.

Travel With Me Tuesday: Jaen Spain

This was a day with a lot of driving, a truly great meal at the Parador in Jaen, and then more driving to arrive in Estepona in the dark and learning about the back and forth way to get to our villa.
