* Spain *
7 days / alone / 1994 Barcelona is artistic city. Antonio Gaudi, Juan Miro, Pablo Picasso.
My favorite soccer team FC Barcelona is also artistic.
Driving to Cadaque where is birth place of Salvador Dali over mountains
Madrid, I met two Japanese travelers in a park. We went to see a bullfight;
7 days / with family / 2007 We rent a car and went around northern Spain. Segovia is a nice tourist city. Segovia cathedral is great !
Burgos cathedral is also great. It is accessible. There is a side entrance for wheelchair users.
Bilbao is now an art city not iron. Fashionable metro, Great modern museum Guggenheim.
Many pilgrims on the road to Santiago de Compostela. Kids played a bull fighting in a small village near Pamplona where is festival driving away bulls to bullring " Festa de San Fermin ".
Great scenery from a hill in San Sebastian, pearl of Bay of Biscay.
On the way over Pirineos Mountains from France through Andorra to Barcelona, We found a strange shadow in the sky. Like a saw. It is Mt, Serano, Catalunian sacred place. Monastery on almost top of the mountain. This is amazing. This religious power is out of my imagination.
Too many tourist in Barcelona. Quit common and touristy. Only interesting street performers. |
