Greg and I took a lovely trip to Portugal and Spain to celebrate out 25th anniversary and for Greg to try to see the Iberian Lynx one more time.
This will be a very short version - if you want all the details ask Greg he has a dozen or more pages written in his journal.
We arrived in Portugal around 8 in the morning and got over to Sinta as quick at possible. We ended up having to walk to the top of the hill earning our 23,790 steps and 85 floors, but it was worth it. What an amazing monastery turned castle.
Natali's bakery and pastry recommendation was a winner- pastel de patas for the win. #Iloveeggcream.
We ended that day in Spain, caught church in Seville the next morning then explored the white cities. Loved them all but Ronda was my favorite.
Our 13 hours in the hide payed off. This beauty let us watch her for about an hour.
Cordoba was cold and rainy but the mesquita was worth it.
We saw rain or snow everyday but managed to not get too wet or cold, even catching some sun and blue skies now and then.
Toledo was great and I loved the walled city of Avila.
Segovia was probobly one of my favorites with it aquaduct and castle.
Madrid felt crowded after enjoying the off season lack of crowds in all the other places we'd been. The royal palace and Prado didn't disappoint. We walked our feet off and saw so many amazing places but I was ready to get home to my girls.
