Sevilla
21 October 2017 Just 46 minutes and about 15€ southwest of Madrid by train is Sevilla. Our Hotel Doña Manuela is ideally located overlooking the northern end of the Jardin de Murillo and the Royal Alcázar. Its neighborhood of Santa Maria La Blanca offered a plethora of cafes and bars. Perfect! Sevilla is easy to […]
CÓRDOBA
19 October 2017 A 90-minute train from Madrid’s Atocha station takes me to the beautiful, historical city of Córdoba.

A Day in Toledo España
By Gabrielle Bremer – Through the Lens Photography Public transportation is stunning in Europe. Everything is fast, clean, and comfortable. It was only a 40-minute train ride to Toledo from Madrid. From the station, we walked into town. Up the huge hill, we sorta climbed, thank God for
El Escorial España con Gabrielle
3 April 2016 Our “driver” brought Little Polo around and points us in the right direction to exit Segovia. We almost drove to the hotel but those sharp turns, driving left to get right, one ways, and narrow streets that look like an alley waiting to rip a mirror off, cause the bravest driver to […]
