I have never considered visiting Spain before, but now it has moved to the top of my list! This was a great article and beautiful pictures!
Spain is definitely on my list of countries to visit! The gypsy quarters sound like a cool place to see.
My ancestors came from Spain and visiting there has been on my bucket list for many years. We were going to go on vacation unfortunately my husband was diagnosed with cancer and passed away and the trip was cancelled. I will continue to save towards the trip and perhaps I will be able to go in a couple of years.
I’ve seen a lot of Europe, but somehow always missed Spain and Portugal – would love to visit.
Spain is beautiful! I hope I can travel there someday. (:
