The sabbatical continued and off we went to England (where no photos were taken) and Spain where pictures were taken with a slowly dying camera and so some of what appears is below the quality you've come to expect on this blog. We settled in with Jacobo and Barbara and then headed to one of many lovely beaches. We paused to take in the view down to the beach

Later we stopped in a nearby town to explore
as Suzanne
and Suzanne and Barabara
looked out to the lighthouse
before these selfies were taken
along with these photos of Barbara and Suzanne
The next day, we went to the nearby town to explore

Back at the beach the next day, we saw that the Ubuntu sign had changed
as we made our way
to the water which was delightful.
Back at home, Inigo was working with Barbara to make his salmoreco soup
and ingredients were gathered
before we admired views and ended our wonderful stay in Fernan Peres
Jacobo took these pictures this day of us swimming with the fishes
and then some of us eating the fishes
Jacobo was nice enough to bring us to Almeria where the churros were made
coming out like this
so that we could take them to the local bar and bathe them in chocolate.
Off we went to Grenada where we came across the tomb of Ferdinand and Isabella
before stopping for some food
which made Suzanne
and me happier.
As we completed our meal
we left the Parador
and headed down the hill to town passing Washington Irving
and reaching Christopher Columbus and Isabella negotiating his trip
followed by a remarkable church
and then a walk to the top of this hill to watch the sunset with many others
before stepping off the pavement
and heading back to the Parador for dinner

Next we went to Seville and visited the Alcazar which was thankfully more beautiful than the dark photos show.
