My travel in Europe #1 : Spain / Gibraltar and Valencia

in #travel6 years ago

Hi everybody,

I'm Magalie ! In part #0, I told you about my trip to Europe after Morocco (1 full month in the Atlas Mountains). Arrival in Gibraltar for two days of rest before actually starting this journey. (You can see all steps in part #0 : https://steemit.com/travel/@heavensdoor/my-trip-in-europe-0-departure-from-gibraltar)

So I left this crucial and strategic place that has been crucial in European history: the Strait of Gibraltar.

Here are some of my discoveries on the spot:

Then I went on the road to rejoin Seville. Before, I could see that its surroundings are agricultural. founded between 700 and 800 BC, and successively invaded by the Visigoths (German) and Muslims in the 8th century. This flagship city of the arts has resurfaced from the past thanks to Charles V, emperor Roman germanic in the 16th century.

No more stories, I wandered through these streets and I could see that many buildings period, monuments of the Muslim era, but also contemporary neighborhoods. Very rich in culture and opportunity for recreation and entertainment.

Here are some pictures of my passage :

I hope that this pleased you ! I will now go along the Spanish coast to the west to arrive in Spain! See you in 2 days for new adventures ! I'm going to the Donana National Park !

Some stuffs I will see there (hopefully) :
