A stop in Guadamur

Before leaving Madrid, we spent a good part of the morning looking for a shopping center where we could exchange money, buy a SIM card, and get diesel for the car. Then we said good bye to our host, who told us we were his personal heroes! We decided by that remark, we must be a little crazy!

We drove around with the GPS lady having to recalculate over and over until we got our errands done. Finally left Madrid and drove to a town named Guadamur, an arts community near Toledo. We were impressed with how all the buildings are being rehabbed. We checked in with our host, a French photographer who lives in a very nice condo with a view of a castle from the front door (see photo). He showed us some of his photos, particularly one of Machu Pichu that he photo-shopped to remove all the people that are usually there, then printed it on a large canvas for his living room. It was impressive. So far, both of our Airbnb hosts have been very nice to visit with.Lue lisää
