The White Hill Towns and The Rock of Gibraltar

Although we loved Seville, we decided we wanted to see more of wonderful Spain! So, we took a day trip down to the coast. Our journey took us through a national park and amongst the White Hill Towns (well known throughout the area). By late afternoon we arrived at the Rock of Gibraltar. It was a lovely excursion proving that all of Spain is charming.

View from the Siege Tunnels inside the Rock

The Siege Tunnels gave Gibraltar a commanding military presence throughout history.

or as the Brits would say, "mind your head")
Wild African monkeys are all over the Rock!

5th Anniversary in Seville, Spain

Seville is a vibrant city full of life...probably because of all the Sangria they drink...
but the blue skies and warm days make the city easy to enjoy!


All smiles under the sunny Spanish skies. Seville is just magnificent!

Giving the blog a try...

We haven't been good about posting our adventures online...so with the New Year, we are resolving to try to do better.
