Spain, Africa, and Gibraltar

Here are just a few photos from my trip to Spain with a day trip to Morocco and a day trip to Gibraltar which is a British colony. What an amazing trip it was!

Here is a bullring in Madrid...


The Westin Hotel that we stayed at in Madrid





The view outside the hotel room in Madrid

The Reina Sofia museum where we got to see lots of works by Picasso and Salvador Dali

The famous Prado Museum...though it is closed on Mondays so we couldn't go in.

Inside the train station...

The bullet train we took from Madrid to Malaga...it went over 200 mph...we got there in 2 hours (it's 344 miles or so away).

We then traveled from Malaga to Marbella by bus and stayed at Gran Melia Don Pepe hotel. This is the view from our balcony. That is the Mediterranean Sea.
