After two days of rest after getting back from London, I was off once again. This time, I was heading to Spain for a week. Although I spent most of my time in the south, I did also get a few good days in Barcelona, further north. Here are a few pictures that, hopefully, faithfully portray the country's beauty.
 |
| La Sagrada Familia, perhaps the most representative landmark of Barcelona. Arguably Guadi's masterpiece. (Unfinished.) |
 |
| Park Guell, another of Gaudi's works of art. |
 |
| A view of Barcelona from the top of Park Guell. |
 |
| From Barcelona, I headed south to Malaga (again via Ryanair). This beautiful port city is the home of another good friend I got to reunite with! |
 |
| This was really cool. I think it's supposed to represent the waves of the ocean. Oh, Malaga... |
 |
| My friend Belen, her dog, and me near Malaga's historical center. |
 |
| Sevilla, another gem of a city in the region of Andalucia. This is the cathedral. |
 |
| This caught my eye. Inside the Real Alcazar in Sevilla. |
 |
| Reminded me of Grand Rapids. Miss you, Grand River! |
 |
| Cool bridge, right? |
 |
| Granada, Spain. A look at the beautiful countryside from the Alhambra's gardens. |
 |
| Sample of the flowers found there. |
 |
| My friend Natasha, who I was luckily able to meet up with in Granada! |
 |
| Tasha snapped this...interesting...photo of me caressing the Arabic calligraphy on the walls of the Alhambra. |
 |
| From outside the Alhambra. Granada is a wonderful city. |
 |
| Cordoba! |
 |
| The Great Cathedral-Mosque of Cordoba! |
 |
| I was so excited to see this, and I can say with certainty that I wasn't disappointed! |
 |
| On my last night in Malaga, Belen and her daughter took a walk with me seaside. It was a great ending to an unforgettable time in southern Spain. One more night in Barcelona from there ended my adventure... |
