Spain and Portugal 2009



Our Big Trip 2009 brought us on a whirlwind journey through Spain and Portugal, from April 5 - April 19. In two weeks, we pondered the old world charm of Porto while sipping sweet port, marveled at the gold magnificence of Holy Toledo, and sampled Goya and tapas in Madrid. Moving on the Andalucia, we delighted in the Moorish splendor of the Alhambra in Granada, and were astounded by fancy, flamenco footwork in Seville.

Our pilgrimage north to Santiago de Compostela gave us a chance to breathe in the fresh, green scents of the Galicia country side and we ate everything in sight as we drove east towards Basque country. Bilbao and San Sebastian treated our tummies well, before we lived like royalty in Barcelona, the crown jewel of the entire trip. The following posts chronicle each day of our trip, beginning with the most recent day.

This beautiful part of the world overwhelmed us in so many ways, and we feel changed and blessed by our incredible journey. Enjoy!
