I’m back from a delightful 3 week jaunt around Spain. Ilana and I started in Madrid and took short trips out to Toledo and Salamanca before heading south to Seville. There, we met up with our flatmate Alina, and hired a car to drive around Andalucia, staying in Granada, Cordoba, Ronda, and Ubeda. We then headed over to the east coast and wrapped up our trip with Valencia and Barcelona.

I’m not going to chronicle the journey step my step, but I’ll blog up some of my favourite (and least favourite) impressions from the journey. The first impression was, of course, the weather. Eliza Doolittle’s old line about the rain in Spain staying mainly in the plain is utter bullocks. There was plenty of rain everywhere. We would get a temporary reprieve every now and then, but we also got good and wet a few times. The picture above is one of those times, as Ilana and Alina hide from the rain under a small overhang.

In terms of chronicling the trip, I may not have blogged while on the road, but I think I took more high quality pictures on this trip than I have on any other in the past. If you are keen, you can take a gander through the entire collection of them on Flickr. I hope you enjoy them, I sure had fun taking them.
