The following photos are some of my favourite images from our vacation in Spain, Morocco and Portugal in September both for their beauty but also the memories they evoke. Enjoy!
I had forgotten how narrow the streets can be in parts of Europe. The taxi driver, who took us from the airport, sped through the narrow roads on our way to the hotel - normal for him, terrifying for us!

Water was ever present in the palaces, both the Alhambra and the Real Alcazar in the form of irrigation channels, jets, ponds and pools as depicted in the next few photos. I loved the almost perfect reflection of the palace in the pool.

A few more photos with no particular theme, I just liked them!
