The last phase of our travel, the last 6 days well spent in Spain. Tomorrow I leave for home, Bangalore. Here are a few pics from the last 6 days spent touring the top tourist attractions in Central Spain.
Night Halt at Salamanca Night 10
Most memorable evening of Spain was at Salamanca Square. The entire lit up square looked magical. I spent one night in one of the hotels in the square.

From Salamanca we left for Avila, a walled city. The fort walls standing tall and mighty. The next halt was at Segovia. We visited the palace here. The aqueduct is very impressive here.

Segovia to Madrid Road trip Day 12
From Segovia we drove to El Escorial, which a huge palace of Kings of Spain. It took almost 2 hours to tour the place. The next halt was at Toledo, the cathedral here has extremely beautiful interiors. More detailed post to follow. After a few hours of self guided walking tour of Toledo we drove to Madrid.

Madrid Walking Tour Day 13
The day spent in walks of Madrid, the palace and a museum for paintings. The rule of ‘no photography in the museum and palace upset-ed me a lot.

Road Trip Madrid to Barcelona Day 14
This day was spent mostly in driving from Madrid to Barcelona, a distance of +500kms, with a brief halt at Zaragoza for lunch break. I made a quick visit to the cathedral here.
Two Days in Barcelona Day 15 and 16
These 2 days exclusively for Barcelona! We visited the beach, Picasso’s museum, Sagrada Familia, Gaudi’s home, Casa Mila, a private residence designed by Gaudi.
We are so tired with so much walking, but the sights we got to see kept reviving our spirits and our eyes were hungry for more.
