Spain
A Roman marker dating to c100 BC in my family’s town in Spain. To the north is
Pamploma, and the Pyrenees border with France. Charlemagne’s Knight, Roland, fought and died
fighting a Basque & Muslim army in 778 AD in Roncesvalles Pass.![](https://i.postimg.cc/mZ7bWRTp/Roman-Marker.jpg)

I love the Spanish Pyrenees. I'm always amused by the stink-eye i get from the basques when using my Mexican Spanish. I'll be checking out the French
Pyrenees in September.

My Dad spoke strict Castilian Spanish with a pronounced lisp. I would make fun of him until I heard it spoken in central Spain...same lisp.

If you haven’t visit Ronda! It’s worth the drive!

I have been planning a trip to Spain for quite some time now. I did read some articles like https://www.spain.info/en/top/essential-sights/ and https://gowithguide.com/blog/tourism-in-spain-statistics-202... What I have planned so far is Barcelona, Madrid, Seville, Ronda, and Malaga. This
is basically my initial route. I will be there for 2 weeks. Am I rushing with things, or can I explore more?
