We collected Dom in Madrid before heading south, to see some of the historic highlights of Spain.
Salamanca is a wondeful old university town, with beautiful sandstone architecture and great tapas bars. Toledo has an amazing old Cathedral and is famous for Spanish swords and knifes. Cordoba was one of my favourites in Spain. The Moorish Mosque, now the Cathedral, is one of the most beautiful buildings in the world. You can really get lost in the old town of narrow cobbled lanes and tiny bars and restaurants. Jerez, a sherry-like wine is a speciality from here, as well as bull's tail ( oxtail ) stew. The whole Alahmbra Complex on the hill above Granada is a World Heritage Site and the Palace is another building one just has to see. There were too many tourists but it was still really worth seeing.
