The Thermal Baths in Sevilla: A Reminder of History
One of my favorite spots I visited while visiting Sevilla were the thermal baths underneath the Alcazar. While under a major tourist attraction, these baths provide you with a sense of seclusion and history.

Read More#TravelTuesday Photo: Park Güell
Barcelona, Spain is nestled between the Mediterranean and the Serra de Collserola hills. This photograph was taken from one of the vistas in Park Güell: the mosaic-riddled, multi-layered gingerbread park designed by Antoni Gaudí.
