After a last minute change of plans, we jumped in the car and made our way from Madrid to our first stop, Trujillo (in Extremadura). Like many small spanish towns, it's old, beautiful, and heavy on history. Trujillo's claim to fame is Francisco Pizarro, the spanish conquerer of the Incan Empire:
The next morning we made our way to Andalucia, stopping for lunch in Seville. As we walked along the river, I took some photos of the bridge I loved so much the last time I visited (more on this later):
Next stop: Cadiz (during golden hour)!
After a night in Cadiz we drove to Tarifa (the bottom tip of Spain) to catch a ferry to Tangier, Morocco. We even managed to see some dolphins as the ferry was leaving the port!
Tangier, Morocco:
After two days in Morocco, we took a ferry back to Spain. From there we started making our way back to Madrid. We stopped for lunch in Cordoba, and visited the mosque:
Now I'm back in Madrid, ready to relax :) More photos from the trip will be posted over the next several weeks, so check back.
