Sorry about the delay. Was a bit under the weather for a few days, and I've been busy sewing. Here's the next in our installments on our trip to Spain.
We started our trip to Spain with a couple of days in Madrid. The temperature was in the 40's and 50's and it was rainy. We ended our trip, one month later, back in Madrid for a week. The temperatures were in the 80's, 90's and at, or slightly above, 100, and it was very sunny. What a difference a month makes! We really liked Madrid. Sevilla and Madrid were our two favorite major cities in Spain. We also liked many of the smaller medieval towns we visited that still had their protective stone walls surrounding them. During our final stay in Madrid, we also visited Toledo, Avila and Segovia. Here are a few pictures of Madrid and the three smaller towns.

As always beautiful pictures of your travel in Spain. Wouldn't it be wonderful if we saw more mosaics created in El Centro like the one in the photo above adorned on the facade of the restaurant?
