Jakesprinter’s challenge this week is architecture. I was inspired by adinparadise’s similar post for this week’s challenge and I decided to try and squeeze it into my busy holiday week. My menu is done, shopping list is made, now I can play a little. Do check out her post as it’s full of great photos of my favorite country. To see other entries click here. I have posted some of these before, but it’s fun to rearrange them for another theme. I do hope you’ll enjoy them.

travels with toby 
I’m so glad you found the time to squeeze in your Spanish post, Toby. I missed that old Roman wall, and I love the detail on the Palau de la Música Catalana. :)
your post inspired me! I wish we had had time to go inside that palau. I’ve seen photos of the inside and I am for sure going in next time!! thanks for stopping by and commenting.
I just love the Moorish architecture – the red and white arches, the lace-like delicacy of the tiny arches within arches. It is such a contrast in many ways to the Christian architecture. Thanks so much for the wonderful images!
yes, and hopefully it was a trip down memory lane for you ;) you’re welcome, glad you enjoyed them!!
Beautiful photography my friend for this week topic ,Thanks for sharing :)
thanks Jake!
I don’t recollect seeing the Roman wall in Barcelona before, Tobyo, and I love the photos of the Palace of Catalan Music. Nice compilation.
there is also a sign with a picture of what the entire wall used to look like. it’s pretty darn cool! so, next time you’re in Barcelona you should check it out. thanks for your comments.

I studied in Sevilla for a semester – can’t tell you how many photos I have of the Alcazar. It’s my favorite of all the ones I’ve seen, and a really enchanting place :)
