Madrid

We came to Spain for Gate One's Spain tour and there were some free time before and after the tour in Madrid. We went to the Buen Retiro Park the first day. The last day we went to Reina Sofía Museum in the morning, went through the wide boulevard of  Paseo de Recoletos in the afternoon and visited Puerta Del Sol in the evening.  Pictures in this album were taken during these free time.    Spain Day 6

Spain Day 5

Today we departed Seville to Cordoba, a city founded by the Romans. The most famous site in the city is the “Mezquita de Cordoba” once the largest mosque in the world that was transformed into a cathedral in the 16th century.  The walking tour of the city includes the ancient Jewish Quarter, with its labyrinth of winding narrow streets and picturesque squares.  After lunch we travel to Madrid to conclude the Gate One Spain Tour.   Spain Day 5
