Mountain tops, Roman ruins, monasteries y castles!!!

So over the past couple of weeks, I have visited numerous sites. I have climbed the mountain that overlooks the entire city of Cáceres, traveled to Mérida and saw some well preserved ancient Roman ruins, walked through the Santa María Monastery in Guadalupe and saw the black virgen Mary of Guadalupe, and walked on top the Castillo de Trujillo-one of the oldest castles in Spain!!

  1. Terrific pictures, interesting. Can't wait for the tour to see if your camera work has improved tremendously or if the scenery in Spain is quite extraordinary.
