While we were traveling, my corner of Kansas officially ended its drought with two full weeks of gray skies, constant rain, and a pair of tornadoes uncomfortably close to home. Meanwhile, in Spain? Total perfection, and not just the weather! Spain is this incredible mix of coastline, mountains, rolling plains, vibrant cities, and villages so charming they don’t seem real. The culture, architecture, history, traditions, and cuisine are rich and uniquely Spanish. Where Kansas stretches out in seas of wheat, Spain unfolds in silvery olive groves, with pockets of almond trees and vineyards tucked among them. And the best part? Eighteen of the friendliest travel companions imaginable, along with a tour guide who was both knowledgeable and entertaining.
There is so much to share about our journey, but here are a few highlights from our time in Spain:

Spectacular glimpses! I was going to say, if I never make it to Spain my one regret will be in not seeing the Sagrada Familia, but your photos suggest I would want to see so much more. The town with the foothills in the distance looks like it could be in the Italian countryside. The pedestrian bridges over the waterways look entirely inviting. And the rich culture is evident in the photo of the sanctuary ceiling, as well as in the massive paintings looking staged for placement inside. Really hoping to get to Spain one day, at least on a Viking cruise.

The legendary Sagrada Familia was almost overwhelming in its details! Gaudi had quite a vision! The interior is remarkably plain compared to the outside, but what a church usually displays in assorted chapels, is actually on the outside of this one. Amazing! The landscape of Spain reminded me a lot of Italy!
