Lookout Tower (149K)12 April 2001
I have no idea what this tower was doing in the middle of no-where, but we stopped to check out the view from the top anyhow.
Casa Rural Flipper (98K)12 April 2001
Flipper looking out of our room's window. This place was excellent, being brightly painted inside and out as you can see.
Cuenca Ceremony (168K)12 April 2001
Some bizaare cerimony
Cuenca Houses (126K)12 April 2001
Cuenca is apparantly famous for it's houses that jut out from the cliffs here.
Casa Rural Corridor (93K)13 April 2001
'Very colourful`, would be an apt description for the interior of Casa Rura, here we see one of the corridors with the morning sun streaming in.
Las Torcas Crator (170K)
13 April 2001
'Las Torcas' is a collection of small volcanic crators in the middle of no-where. Still, here we see the bigest of them on our way by.
Las Torcas Shephard (201K)13 April 2001
Around the Las Torcas crators there were various flocks of sheep with no human shephard in sight. This dog (and a younger one that I guess was learning the trade) seem to have been left there to protoect them from the wildlife (wolves & stuff perhaps?).
Fields of Spain (126K)13 April 2001
We did a lot of driving in a few days here, plenty of this sort of thing to be seen between Madrid and Valencia. There's also a lot of not so green countryside too.
La Albufera Sunset (130K)13 April 2001
La Albufera is apparantly famed for it's stunning sunsets, over this inland lake. Here you go then, the obligatory sun shot for this holiday.
Valencia Street (144K)13 April 2001
Nighttime in Valencia, outside our hotel, complete with nice palm trees and the like.
Valencia Post Office (143K)14 April 2001
The central post office in Valencia also happens to be the main tourist office, so of course was worth a visit to ask about the sights. Fortunatly this was also just round the corner from our hotel, and being a rather grand building was worth taking a shot of.
Valencia Market (171K)14 April 2001
The very colourful indoor market we came across in Valencia. Can't tell you the name or location unfortunalty, but it was pretty central.

Palm Flipper (238K)14 April 2001
Flipper taking it easy in the Valencia sunshine.
Valencia Music Hall (115K)14 April 2001
Build in part of the old river bed (that have some very nice gardens in them) is the Valencia Music hall. Check out this very impressive fountain out the front set amids the Palms (there seem to be a lot of Palms here, eh?).

Benicasm Rob (114K)15 April 2001
Rob in the rather dubious Spanish resort of Benecasm, just north of Valencia. Shame it was so windy and the 'sand' was more like gravel (sorry guys :-().

Madrid Driving (106K)16 April 2001
No one else on the Spanish roads seems to look where they are going - so why should I be any different ;-)
Madrid Park (131K)17 April 2001
Madrid's central park (don't know if this is what it's known as or not) is very impressive, has to be said.

Chilling out here is just what's required after a night of excess!
