I loved Spain,and didn’t really want to go but a friend needed a traveling companion.

We spent a couple of nights in one of the paradores-—what a treat,it had been a monastery.

Lived in Sapin for 4 years. When traveling to the big cities, beware the pick pockets. They are everywhere.

You might be interested in a British series that started 3 weeks ago, Spectacular Spain with Alex Polizzi. She goes all through Spain pointing out some must see places in each episode. Here is a link to episode 1, which covers Barcelona. I think you'll like it.

Spectacular Spain

Episode 3 covers Granada, the capital of our province, and the Alhambra, one of the 12 treasures of Spain and a UNESCO world heritage site. The Alhambra started out as a Roman fort, was a spectacular Moorish palace and was used by Ferdinand and Isabella to sanction the voyage of Christopher Columbus.
