We took a couple of day trips out of Barcelona, one north and one south. We visited a few beach towns and little walled medieval villages. Here are a few pictures.
We went into lots of churches and cathedrals on our trip. Most are full of gold and silver and lots of carvings and paintings. My two favorites were a medieval monastery in Barcelona that had no decorations in its chapel, and a small church in one of the towns on these tours which also had almost no decoration. But, that little church did have this vending machine where one could by a candle to light. We have never seen anything like this!!

On our tour to the southern coast, this lovely lady was in our van of 4 people. Turns out, she was Gil's
next door neighbor in San Francisco for 13 years. He hadn't seen her for probably 15 years. Sure is a small world!
This part of Spain was really beautiful, at least while we were there. The weather was absolutely perfect, and it was tempting to think it would be a nice place to live. But, there is the summer to think about. HOT!! HOT!! HOT!!! Nice place to visit, but Cuenca is better year round.
