Armchair travel - Photos of Spain and Portugal
Why not? The other threads are great fun. Our hearts go out to the good people of the Iberian peninsula in these frightening days.

Well, my recent trip to Spain was cut short and my planned trip to Portugal won't be happening, but I do have a few photos from Barcelona. Do you think I'll get booted off Fodor's if I post a photo of the dick waffle?

Beautiful images. The only time I went to Spain was when I was about 10, for a family holiday, and I don't think that I still have my photos. They would be lousy anyway...
Hence I cannot share anything here. The more I am enjoying yours! |

We don’t take photos....I occasionally snap a pic with my phone
Spain is our favorite country, we visit every year. I had booked hotel in Madrid for the first week in May and purchased tickets for Madrid Open ( tannins), exactly what I did the year before. It was not to be...but my disappointment is irrelevant compared to devastation in Spain. Next year..🇪🇸 |
