Visits to Barcelona, Malaga, Seville, Gibraltar allowed me to revisit this country that I adored, young, during many trips with my parents. I must have been around 12 on my first trip. A magnificent place, where mass tourism was not really present. Entire beaches were beginning to be bought up by foreigners. I still have beautiful images in my head: the peasant taking a nap under an olive tree after hard work and a hearty lunch, women fetching water from the fountain. Spain has changed between what I saw when I was 12 and what has been there since 2009.

If you visit this part of Spain, do not miss Seville with the Cathedral of Our Lady of the See of Seville.
