Some people live to work and others work to live. I work and live to travel. Not the business trip variety mind. That I loath. But a great getaway, whether for the summer or an afternoon, is always in order. And I have particularly enjoyed seeing Spain.
I have a goal to get to each of the 50 provinces and 2 autonomous cities of Spain. I figure that way I will have a rather good feel for the country. My original plan was a bit more specific, the 50 provincial capitals. I discovered that this would not necessarily provide me with the intimate knowledge of the peninsula that I seek. The village way of life is just too integral. Besides, a couple of the capitals really are not worth the price of the ticket. Guadalajara anyone?
So far, we have been to the provinces in bold:
A Coruña · Álava · Albacete · Alicante ·Almería ·Asturias · Ávila · Badajoz · Balearic Islands · Barcelona · Biscaya · Burgos · Cáceres · Cádiz · Cantabria · Castellón · Ceuta · Ciudad Real · Córdoba · Cuenca · Girona · Granada · Guadalajara · Guipuscoa · Huelva · Huesca · Jaén · Las Palmas · León · Lleida · Lugo · Madrid · Málaga · Melilla · Murcia · Navarre · Ourense · Palencia · Pontevedra · La Rioja · Salamanca · Santa Cruz de Tenerife · Segovia · Sevilla · Soria · Tarragona · Teruel · Toledo · Valencia · Valladolid · Zamora · Zaragoza
