Travel pictures
This roadtrip on the Iberian peninsula took us to heartland Spain and our first visit to mainland Portugal. From Madrid we drove to Toledo, an old town with a lot of history before heading out among Don Quixote's mills. Old twons like Trujillo and Caceres were nice surprises before we entered the mountains and Portuguese towns of Malvao and Evora. Lisbon is just Europe's probably most beautiful capital, surrounded by the Atlantic and old town of Sintra. Farther north, we drove along the coast and ended up in picturesque Porto and a lot of port wine tasting. Back into Spain and Galicia, including Fin de Terra, the final point of the Camino and coastyal towns with the best seafood ever. Especially their knife mussels were out of this world, along with famed dish Pulpo Gallega, grilled octopus on a potato bed. Through Gijon we ended back with several pleasant days in Madrid.
