Spanish Holiday snaps

Long time between posts- blogspot changed settings while i was in Spain and its taken me a while to find out the mail address i need to log in!

Ahh technology.

Spent 3 weeks working and touring Spain- was fantastic. I really enjoyed all parts, although it was less of a holiday than previously as we were trying to generate content for www.bigfoottraveller.com and www.fbt.com.sg.

And I have a new Apple rather than the old HP, so some changes since I was last on the blog.

Here are the pictures
we went to the flamenco at the opera house in Barcelona- despite the noise i managed to fall asleep- i blame jet lag! the flamenco was good.

We visited the S A Damm Brewery near Barcelona Airport




and our hotel overlooked Casa Mila, by Gaudi, and we went also to Park Guell also by Gaudi. Gaudi really made what was a typical European city into something magic.  Me at Park Guell

also went to the National Plaza de Toro... and here's me avoiding the Bulls


Then off to Toledo
I'm trying to find out where we are and where to go next, Toledo was great, different, a challenge to find parking

so i got from the bridge to here

so i was delighted when we stopped for lunch

then off south and we stopped by and looked at Don Quixotes windmills



great sky

thence to Ronda which was a great little town... and you can tell i'm happy with the food


and after Ronda we lounged in Granada for half a week spending a day at the Alhambra- just fr this the trip to Span was worthwhile


and here's me in Granada after a hard day's touring on the new apple



 go to Spain, eat tapas and REAL Sangria, enjoy jamon, find out the difference between Serrano and Iberico, eat fried anchovies and Inedit beer, admire Gaudi, and siesta.
