While we can’t get out and travel much, I was hoping we could share some of our favorite places, food, people, photos, whatever from our travels in Spain and especially Sevilla. Please feel free to add some photos and let’s get out of the house through our daydreams of Spain.
One of the first images you will see if you are flying into Madrid and grabbing a rental car is this unique statue. The statue is entitled, El Rapto De Europa (The Abduction of Europe) by a Columbian, Fernando Botero. According to the Wiki article it represents Zeus (The Bull) with Europe (“naked, relaxed and somewhat voluptuous”) riding it into the sea to Crete.
This is the lake La Llosa del Cavall, Vall de Lord. Beatiful place for a swim, and the nearby town of Sant Llorenç de Morunys offer some medieval vibes. Their 11th century church is definitely worth a visit!
Wow, welcome! I’m glad you joined. That Lake is now on my must visit list. So pretty. I haven’t done much in Spain in the North except Barcelona, if you consider that north.
Scenes from Molinos de Viento de Consuegra - Consuegra, Spain There are a total of 12 windmills built between the 16th and 19th century and a castle dating back to the 10th century.
Yep, not far from Toledo. We hit this town last time we were there driving from Granada to Madrid. I’ve been to Toledo twice, but I’m struggling finding photos that aren’t just out of the car window.
I went to a wedding at this castle in 2011. It’s the Castillo de Viñuelas just north of Barajas in Madrid. It was first built in the 1200’s and then remodeled in 1939 as a home for Franco (I just found out this from the wiki).
Has anyone been around Galicia? I went to A Coruña last summer. I wanted to visit more places, but I was eager to make it to our season premiere in Barcelona instead.
