Spain is on my bucket list’s top ten. I love history and our own Philippine history is greatly shaped with Spain. Wouldn’t it be nice to see Barcelona and Madrid?
When the invitation for my husband came to join the Philippine group for the beatification of Bishop Alvaro del Portillo, I was more than thrilled. A trip for a lifetime and worth every euro.
Got my husband’s permission to share with you some of the photos from his 9-day trip from Spain and Rome..as long as he is not in the photos.
Let’s start our armchair travel with Spain’s Palacio Real de Madrid ( Royal Palace)
With the caballeros
Finest architecture
My husband said the churches are beyond beautiful..
Spanish 101
This is the Sanctuario de Torrecuidad in Aragon, northern Spain. Built by St. Josemaria Escriva, founder of Opus Dei.
Torrecuidad is in the Spanish Pyrenees with spectacular view of the largest dam in Spain of El Grando Lake.
Massive church in Zaragoza – Basilica of our Lady of Pillar
Valencia’s Cuidad de las Artes y las Ciences ( City of Arts and Sciences)
Mythical creature
and the Arganzuela Footbridge, also known as the Perrault Bridge ( after the architect who designed it, Dominique Perrault) back in Madrid
There are more than 3,000 photos here that I still need to organize, but I think it’s enough to virtually dip our toes. Have you been to Spain? What’s the best thing about España?
Next will be photos from Rome and the Vatican. I still need to ask husband’s permission. 🙂
Thanks for reading!
