Alhambra - Granada

This place was spectacular.  The craftsmanship is unbelievable.   It's truly a work of art on an epic magnitude.

Granada

Granada is very historical city.  With much to see. We spent two nights there. We mainly came to see the Alhambra a Moorish castle and palace.

More photos of Alicante






Alicante on the Mediterranean

We decided to take a few days to relax on the coast to rest before doing some more traveling.   We decided to check out a place called Alicante because we had met a German couple who couldn't say enough about it.  We were not disappointed, it turned out to be very nice place.

Santiago after Hiking

We thoroughly enjoyed Santiago walking the streets and visiting the cathedral.   The mass was memorable particularly the swinging of the incense dispenser. Next off to Madrid! !

Camino de Santiago - Day 22 (final day )

Our last day went smoothly as we made our way into Santiago.  We started the day slowly to savor the last miles.  The scenery was beautiful and care was taken to avoid busy areas of town as we approached.  Reaching Santiago we were happy to be done hiking and finished the day in a Alberque about a half mile from the cathedral.
