:: Entries about Spain ::
First stop: Madrid, where we'll recover from jet lag, visit the Prado, check out the enormous El Rastro flea market, and take a day trip to gorgeous Segovia. From there we'll head to Granada, set against the snow-clad Sierra Nevada, where we'll see the enormous 9th-century Alhambra. Next stop: the sparkling blue Mediterranean of the port city Malaga. After that, we're going to Cordoba to see Mezquita, one of the most magnificent Islamic buildings in the world. Then it's off to a quick visit to Seville, home of the flamenco and bullfighting, before boarding a plane to London. It should be noted that we plan to add more stories to the website once our trip is over (there are so many we haven't had a chance to tell yet). No place is this more evident than with Spain. For God's sake: we only have two entries for our three weeks in Spain, and that's only one more entry than for Bolivia and we didn't even go there!
A Day of Reflection We’ve been in Madrid for a few days now, and today we visited the Centro de Arte Sophia Reina. The main reason for our visit was to see something I have wanted to see since my first year of Spanish class in high school: Pablo Picasso’s master work, Guernica.
Holiday in Spain From our hotel window you can see the Mediterranean Sea, and it is exactly the color I always imagined it would be. We’re in a city called Málaga, on the southern coast of Spain, and here it seems to always be hot, sunny, and happy. |
