Southern Spain, Gibraltar and the Canary Islands - Part One

algonquin · October 30th, 2008, 04:15 AM

I had a business trip to Spain about a month ago. I was there for only two weeks, but in that time I drove from Madrid to Valencia, to Almeria, to Granada, to Jaen, to Gibraltar, to Sevilla, back to Madrid, and then flew to the Canary Islands. Considering I was working throughout the trip, there wasn't much time for photos.

Spain is incredibly beautiful... easily the most beautiful country I've seen so far. Every city I went to suprised me. I would go back in a heartbeat.

Valencia

heading to Almeria:

toro!

Benidorm:

Alicante:

Almeria:

the Sierra Nevada

a small village:

The road I was on disintegrated to this:

a few more villages in the Sierra Nevada

Granada (my favourite city)

on the way to Jaen:

On the way to Gibraltar:

my wheels... the best part of the trip:

I'll do the rest later.... cutting and pasting is tiring work.

Amazing, having done Madrid and Barcelona already this past Summer, my next Spanish adventure will not include those cities. I've heard incredible things about the South of Spain. Valencia is supposed to be amazing, and Benidorm is one city that was on my list but didn't work out.

May I ask what it is you do that allows you to travel like that? You can PM me if you like.
