My last day in Spain. It is hard to believe how quickly the time flew. I must say that I definitely wasted my last day in Madrid. I go into the hotel at 5 am the night before so I slept in until 10 then I decided to get breakfast at the hotel buffet. Since […]
Last day on tour, second last day in Spain. Today is another FULL day. We hopped on the bus and has a 2 hour drive to the city of El Toboso. This is one of the cities mentioned in Don Quixote. This city did not have much other then 2 Don Quixote statues, a lot […]
Day Twelve, I can hardly believe how fast this tour is going. However before it is done, I have another day to explore Seville. We started out the day by going to the Plaza de España, in Maria Luisa Park. It was built for the 1929 Exposición Ibero-Americana. The purpose of the Exposición Ibero-Americana was […]
This was a busy, busy day. But it was a pretty good day. We left early to hop on the bus and drove about 3 hours to Gibraltar. Gibraltar is a British Territory on the southern end of Spain at the entrance of the Mediterranean. It has an area of 2.3 square miles (6.0 km2) […]
Today is a full day in Granada. We had the walking tour early first thing in the morning. Our walking guide was called Paco. He was an elderly gentleman in his late 60s I think. Be had a good sense of humour. He took us to the old corner of the city called the Albaicín on […]
Today is another travelling day. Yay. We got the late ferry and went to Denia. This ferry was the nicest ferry I have ever seen. It was like a mini cruise ship. With couches and fancy chairs, patio furniture, a pool, several bars, tvs and a kids area. It was not to shabby. We were […]

Day 5 Today was a big travel day. We had 6 hours to drive to Barcelona. To be fair most of us spent the drive sleeping and getting ready for going out later that night. We made a stop 2 hours in at a place called Zaragoza. This was a roman city founded in 24 […]
The four day of tour was an amazing day. I got up early and went for a run. After that we piled on the bus to head toward San Sebastián. San Sebastián is a town 20 minuets away from the France- Spain boarder. It is the holiday resort for the rich and famous. It has […]
The third day of tour took us out of Madrid where we started going north. We stopped in the adorable town of Segovia. This town is full of old world charm. Its most striking feature is a large roman aqueduct that dominated the landscape of the town. Another cool thing about this town is that […]
