Finally, more photos!

Hi friends. I've finally gotten around to getting some more pictures edited and posted here. This set goes with the previous post describing my adventures in Sevilla, Granada, Málaga, and Portugal. Next up, the three weeks in July when I traveled around to many places in Europe. They're coming, slowly but surely. For now, enjoy these new photos...there are plenty of them.

Queen Isabel Bridge in Sevilla.




These locks covered the entire bridge. People would put them there to carry wishes or symbolize relationships.



La Plaza de Toros.



Torre de Oro. Used to be a guard tower for the castle.


Inside the cathedral in Sevilla.



Cathedral doors.


La Giralda, the huge clocktower.


Horse-drawn carriages everywhere.



Cathedral and La Giralda.


Castle.


The cathedral. It's huge.



La Plaza España in Sevilla.




Granada!







Fresh spices.


"What dirties the world are our tired minds."





Our favorite place to watch the World Cup games. Yummy tapas and suits of armor.


We wandered around the city all day on Saturday.




Each one is an Arab poem.


The entire street was lined with Arab shops.


More wandering around.








How about this for a language school?



The sign says, "There's nothing like the pain of being blind in Granada." It's true.


Pomegranate tree!



The Alhambra! Seen from the Mirador San Nicolás.




We found some beautiful gardens.





Wandering through a cool neighborhood with lots of tiled signs and Arab doors.






Sacromonte, the old gypsy neighborhood (where we went to see the flamenco show).







Giggle.


The Alhambra!


La Puerta del Vino.


King Charles V's Palace. Now commonly used for concerts.




Los Palacios Nazaries, the Moorish royal residences.




Design on the wall.


Lots of cool liquid mirrors.


The detail!


The fountain is normally supported by twelve stone lions. But they were on vacation.


Ceiling.


Really cool arches.




Pretty courtyard.



Reading room.


The Woman's Palace.



The outside of the Palacios.


The Alcazaba, or military fortress.



Mountains!


At the top of the highest tower.


The city at our feet.


Looking back on the Alcazaba.


Gardens on the side of the Alcazaba. Unexpected and beautiful.


La Puerta del Vino. And a pretty wedding photo shoot.


Beautiful view.


In the gardens of the Generalife.





On the way down from the Alhambra.


Flamenco show. With the best backdrop ever.







The Alhambra by night.


Inside Granada's cathedral.


Playing in the river on a hot afternoon.


Walking down our street in Granada in the morning, on the way to the bus station.


Málaga!


La Malagueta, in Málaga. Southern coast of España.



We saw a gorgeous sunset on the bus ride from Málaga to Salamanca.


The mighty Atlantic in Portugal!





The little town was sandwiched by water. This lake on one side, the Atlantic on the other.


Our hacienda-turned-hotel.



Class photo!
