It's been a quiet week for me. I have been huddling under piles of blankets with a throat infection. A real heavy hitter too. Am now armed with antibiotics so will hopefully be back on track soon.
In the meantime, we've been in Barcelona, Girona, San Sebastian and Salamanca, and I'm writing to you from Cordoba. That's quite a distance we've covered in a week but I'll keep this short as I've missed most of it in my foggy haze. Highlights (apart from the inside of hotel rooms of which I can tell you a great deal) include:
- Gaudi's Sagrada Familia, inside and out. It's still 30 pus years from completion but what a spectacular building. It's such a visionary space.
- San Sebastian. A beautiful beach, gorgeous city, and great local cuisine.
- An unorthodox inclusion on the list, Girona. If it hadn't been pouring with rain, I suspect this would have been a highlight but seeing as it was literally bucketing down the whole day we were there, we didn't see a lot. The old city did have a great Jewish history museum covering the city's Jewish heritage prior to the Christian expulsion of all Spanish Jews in the late 15th century. The building housing the museum was also a welcome relief from the rain!
gorgeous photos!
