Magnificent Spain
Third attempt. I thoroughly enjoyed my time in Spain with you guys. Thanks for a magnificent holiday. As usual Roger your blogs bring everything to life and if I had not been there personally, your description was so good that I would have well imagined it. Have a wonderful time in Portugal and Iook forward to reading about that too.
