Spain is a country known for its warm and pleasant climate. Seville warmly welcomed us with its rich history, captivating us with its stunning architecture and delicious tapas. We were also fortunate enough to witness the enchanting flamenco dances up close and personal adding to our experience. During our visit, we had the opportunity to explore the charming city of Ronda, famous for its iconic Nuovo Bridge and the oldest bull fighting rink. We were also fortunate enough to visit the Alhambra, with its oldest Islam architecture, which showcased the rich history and architectural beauty of the region. Additionally, we admired the impressive Roman bridge in Granada and blue pot flower walls in Cordoba. However, our experience in Spain was not just limited to sightseeing. We thoroughly enjoyed immersing ourselves in the lively atmosphere, indulging in the delectable local cuisine, and savoring the exquisite wines that the country is renowned for.

We had the opportunity to rent a car and explore various places during our trip. The drive to Ronda was particularly memorable, as we navigated the winding mountain road, enjoying the breathtaking views along the way. The beaches we visited were not only beautiful but also offered an abundance of mouthwatering tapas at affordable prices.

No visit would have been complete without visiting the world's famous Sagrada Familia & Casa Mila in Barcelona from the creative mind of Gaudi. The city also offered its famous La Rambla and Mercado de La Boqueria with overloaded shelves of meats, fish, cheeses, fresh oysters, sandwiches, myriad of marinated olives and fruit smoothies. Overall, our journey was filled with unforgettable moments.
