I just returned (a little while back) from a week-long trip to Spain with the family. In summary, we had a good time! This was actually my second trip to Spain. Even though I saw some things for the second time, things seemed altogether more interesting this time around. Maybe it’s because I’m a little older, I don’t know.
The grave of Christopher Columbus
(inside the metal “casket” held up by the statues).
We started off in Madrid then headed to Granada with a quick half-day stop in Toledo (where everyone tries to sell you a sword). From Granada, where the famed Alhambra stands, we headed towards Torremolinos. Torremolinos is a beach town on the “Costa del Sol”. Our hotel there was almost right on the beach.
On our second day in Torremolinos, we decided to head to the UK! Well, Gibraltar to be exact. Contrary to popular opinion though, Gibraltar is more then just the rock, there’s a pretty interesting town built around it. There’s quite the friendly group of Barbary Macaques there, who won’t hesitate to jump on the backs of tourists and invade cars for food. My time on “The Rock” was probably my favorite part of the trip.
From Torremolinos we headed up to Seville where we saw a Flamenco show and enjoyed other typically Andalusian sights and sounds. We then headed back to Madrid where we spent the last day of the trip.
Photos should be up soon, although I have several panoramic ones that I need to stitch together. Look for those later on.
