Gran -na-na-na-na-da

SPAIN | Thursday, 3 Apr 2008 | Views [743]

Even before the trip started I had been telling myself and others that I expected the Alhamabra in Granada to be the highlight of the trip. It did not disappoint, but I would put the Alcazaba in Seville and the Mezquita in Cordoba right up there with ... Read more >

Oh, Ronda

Hemingway spent a number of years here and Rainier Maria Rilke called it something along the lines of 'Heaven here on earth.' (Not to be confused with Belinda Carlile's chart-topping song of 1987.) One of the best things about Seville was the ... Read more >

Jueves Santo

SPAIN | Friday, 21 Mar 2008 | Views [964] | Comments [1]

2 in the morning and there’s still 250,000 people in the street.   Some of the processions don’t even start until 3 or 4 and they can go for up to 12 hours.   It’s hard to know how to describe it all, but basically each church in town has their ... Read more >

La Mezquita

SPAIN | Thursday, 20 Mar 2008 | Views [598]

85,000 square foot mosque turned cathedral is the reason we’re in Cordoba. And take a look at the photos – this place was amazing! Candy-cane striped arches – over 400 of them – with the first portion built in AD 750. It was actually ... Read more >


The art, and not much else

Madrid lacked the personality and vivaciousness of Barcelona. The stay there was also impacted by the fact that I still had the econ test to take, and so while Kim waited in line at the museums I whipped out my Quantum Micro and did some last minute ... Read more >

It just wouldn’t be a European vacation without a mad rush to meet a departing train. Or at least that’s what I’ve been led to believe, thanks to the Griswold’s and others like them – or their creators. After more than a week in exceptionally ... Read more >

Kim provided some pithy commentary on a number of the photos from Barcelona - not present in the icon view but if you select the first picture and then view as a slideshow there is a narrated tour of our photos.


Blog what?

    It's not surprising that we can't seem to find the time in the day to get to a locutoria (it's hard to find free wi-fi) to keep this sight current.  We're in Madrid now and, yes, taking lots of pictures - ones that we'll probably wait to upload until ... Read more >
