Spain and Portugal

Hola, Amigas!

I just got back from an incredible trip

Toledo, Spain

in both southern Portugal and Spain.

If you haven't included this area on

your bucket list,

write it down now!

The places we visited were

Seville Cathedral                       

 beautiful,charming, and  friendly

Ancient Roman Theatre in Medrida, Spain.   15 BC

with layers and layers of history.

We learned about Portugal's 

"Period of Great Discovery",

Monument of the Discoveries, Lisbon

and the Moor's influence in Spain,

The Alhambra Palace, Granada, Spain

How about standing in the middle of a bullring,

Ronda, Spain    

tasting sherry at the House of Sanderman

Jerez, Spain     

or enjoying a flamenco show

where "someone" was asked to join in.

Stopped by the Royal Palace,

the official residence of the Spanish Royal Family,

Madrid, Spain     

enjoyed sunny days on the Mediterranean, 

Marbella, Spain

and seeing the "Rock".

Gilbraltar, a British Oversees Territory

Did I mention the delicious food?

 Octopus 

sweet Pastel de Nata

delicious Jamo'n Ibe'rico

a yummy treat for an afternoon pick me up,

Chocolate and Churros.

I could go on and on, 

but I've made myself hungry.

Needless to say,

Running Man and I had a marvelous tour

through the travel company, Tauck.

Seville, Spain

It was an experience extraordinary!

I hope you have the opportunity 

to discover more of this incredible world soon.

Until Next Time-
