I'll eventually be going into Spain, visiting Seville. So please let me know!

(Greater age does have the odd benefit!) As always it depends on your tastes but I can't imagine anybody not finding Evora impressive. Estremoz is best on a Saturday, when the market is in full swing. Personally, I love the hill towns of Castelo de Vide and Marvao but if you want shopping - - -. I am not a lover of tourist coasts but I do like Tavira, set back a couple of km, very much.

I am a US cititzen and Spain did not require one,when I went. Spain is part of the EU. http://www.sopriz.com/ [edited by kyle03 at 2009-10-13 14:47] Reply    Reply with quote    Contact kyle03
