Things To Do and See in Spain

[Gabriel]

Southern Spain was my favorite.

Segovia (north of Madrid) has an awsome castle on a cliff, with caves underneath were the lepers used to live. It was pretty damn impressive.

Toledo has a huge castle with a wall surrounding the entire city.

Sevilla has the roman ruins and ancient aquaduct. Cristopher Columbus is buried there too (i think). This is where I took in my first Flamenco show.

Cordoba is famous for their wood fired leg of lamb. Every restaurant claims to have the best.

Granada has the alhambra, a huge compound that belonged to the moors when they occupied spain.

Then of course you have the southern tip of Spain, the Rock of Gibraltor.

Barcelona seemed modern compared to Madrid, but it still has its history.

I forgot what northern city has the caves with prehistoric writing on the walls, but that was cool too.

Spains history of war and occupation was violent so the museums accompanied by my dads story telling was fascinating to me at 14 years of age.

If money and time permitted I would definitly like to go back.
