Spain and Portugal: travelogue summer 2001
A friend of ours lives in Albufeira in Portugal and that seems like a good reason to make the long trip to Spain and Portugal because we have a full month of vacation. Via Belgium, France and Andorra we arrive at Barcelona where we stay for a while because we find it a fascinating city and will go there more often later. Via Cordoba and Gibraltar we arrive after a week in Portugal where it is hot and we are happy with the beach nearby. And Elisabeth is suffering from a heat stroke for the first (and last) time in her life.
