Spain and Portugal – Post #4

October 17th, 2014 · No Comments · eating, photo of the week, Spain & Portugal 2014, travel

Since I have high-speed connection at this hotel tonight, I’ll just post some pictures of today and the last few days.  Tomorrow we head to Pamplona & a parador at Bielsa in the Pyrenees for two nights.  Not every hotel has had great internet, so for tonight enjoy the photos!
