For the final segment of our two-week Andalucía tour, we visited another small mountain town before returning to the coast — this time to Cádiz on the Costa de Luz — and finally wrapped up our trip in famed Seville.

Andalucía Part 2: Málaga to Ronda
The next phase of our two weeks in Andalucía took us down to the Mediterranea Sea on the Costa del Sol, then up into region’s mountainous heart. We explored a new city, spent some quality time with the sea, and got our first taste of the romanticism of small town Spain that exists off the beaten tourist path.
Andalucía Part 1: Granada
The first new Spanish phrase I learned in the first day of our Andalucía trip? Hasta donde alcanza la vista: as far as the eye can see.
We were cruising through the hilly countryside just north of Jaen, en route from Madrid to Granada, and I simply couldn’t wrap my head around how many olive trees covered the surrounding lands. From horizon to horizon — literally as far as the eye could see, nothing but olive trees.
Three Months in Madrid: Looking behind, looking ahead
December 23 was a notable day for a couple of reasons.
For one thing, it’s the first day of our 2+ week Christmas vacation and the beginning of our travels around Andalucía.
For another, it marks exactly 3 months since we arrived in Spain.
