We traveled in Southern Spain, in Andalucia and Extremadura, two absolutely unique and remarkable regions.
We started in the country's capital, Madrid, and continued to Toledo, that gently slopes over the Tagus River, to Cordoba where its enchanting Mesquita is surrounded by the white houses of the old Juderia, Ubeda and Baeza, two architectural treasures of Andalucia with their 16 century Renaissance buildings and Purullena that preserve a large share of troglodyte dwellings.
Latter we stopped in Granada and visited Alhambra, and we continued south to Costa del Sol, to Malaga and Marbella, stopping for a half day in the British Gibraltar watching the monkeys that populate the rock and following the coast to Cadiz, one of the oldest harbors of Europe.
From there we return to Ronda, a charming city and we drove through Sierras de Grazalemas to visit several of the Pueblo Blancos, old Arab villages hanging up on the mountains slopes.
We finished our Andalucian visit in Seville, visiting its impressive cathedral, Giralda and the Alcazar and we continued with a visit to the beautiful cities of Extremadura, Caceres, Trujillo and Guadelupe, birthplace for most of the families that left Spain in the 16 century to conquer the New World.
