Madrid turned out to be a lot more artistic and fun place than I had expected. A lot of cultural shows and street dancing. Some very cool graffiti.. Its a happening place with a lot of pubs and bars with a pulsating night life. And its hot here.. Believe me after the 12C in Stockholm, the 25C feels like an ovenRead more
Traveler Is it a regular activity or it was a special event? Looks more like India in cleanliness,...wanted Modi ji here

Cuenca, Spain
October 1, 2017 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C

Just about a 100 kms from Madrid is the lovely medieval town of Cuenca. Beautiful location perched high up on the stone cliffs with some beautiful old hanging houses and churches and stone architecture buildings with terracotta tiled red roof houses, make it an ideallic location for a day outing.Read more
Traveler Seems there are no rains & quakes,otherwise there is good chance of land slides as these buildings are just on edges.

Traveler This bridge must be between two cliffs but not on river as you cannot have houses perched on banks

The Craze for Travelling They seem to have survived for quite a while mainly because even the houses are made of stone

The eyes of truth and Devil's Window
October 1, 2017 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C

Some amazing fall colors in this region make for a very stunning drive. The eyes in the hill near Cuenca is a unique natural erosion converted to a piece of art. On the way to Albarracín we stopped at the Devil's window. Also saw some very stunning villages on the way.Read more
Traveler Worth making this as tourist spot....

Albarracín, a stunning city in the hills
October 1, 2017 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C
2 3 2
If there is one stunning town with a lovely medieval feel that I would have to choose, I would choose Albarracín. It a set in a dramatic narrow valley between two hills. Its a feast to the eyes with orange peach color stone buildings with classic period architecture. It gets even more dramatic as the sun sets and the illumination lights turn on. Its a jewel to be touched and felt with your own eyes and senses. No pictures can do enough justice to the beauty of the place. Have a look and decide yourself...Read more
Traveler Nice ! How come not a soul in sight ?

Albarracín was stunning in the night but turned out to be even better in the daylight. Beautiful classic stone buildings in a hill station location... there won't be many other combinations that could beat it.Read more

Day 3
Horizontally across Spain.. almost :)
October 2, 2017 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C

The morning was nice and sunny while we walked around the town but within a few hours the clouds had rolled in and we could feel the condensed droplets on the face. It was a beautiful experience after a long time. We drove from Albarracín to Salamanca a distance of about 500 kms in about 6 hours. The 1st 300 kms was a very scenic ride with a lovely rolling hills and sunflower plantations on both the sides. Interestingly, most of the sunflowers were dryed up and almost brown. Once we touched the highway near Madrid, the road became very dreary and totally devoid of anything interesting. We reached Salamanca by 6 pm.Read more
Traveler Road is brown ,is it gravel?

Salamanca, an architecturally rich town
October 2, 2017 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C

Salamanca turned out to be a yet another fabulous town. Almost every other building near the Plaza Mayor was a piece of unique architecture. The town is much bigger than any other places we had visited till now. Finding the parking was a huge task, eventually we found a place near the edge of the town and walked to the Plaza Mayor. The main square was a place where the locals and the tourists all converge and enjoy the evening. Everywhere around the square, there are places to sit and eat outside. A very festive atmosphere prevails in the fantastic town. After a hearty meal of paella we set about discovering the town in the late evening.Read more

A very beautiful town, extremely well lit in the night. Everywhere you look, there are impressive artistic buildings. It was about 23C and a pleasure to walk around and discover the town.
