    Nice pics!
    Did you visit the stairs in Ronda? If not then you have a good reason to visit Ronda again 😇
    BTW: the plastic caps attached to bottles are mandatory in the EU in order to avoid plastic littering.

      Very cool pictures! I particularly liked the Toledo ones.

      Education is extremely important.

        Did a lot of walking and took a lot of stairs in Toledo, but not sure if one set was more famous than another. They were all pretty cool!!

        Re: bottle caps. Makes sense!!

          Love these! Makes me want to go back, this time see Gibralter.
          Madrid and Toledo look exactly as I remember from my travels over two Easter weeks in 1985!
          Memorable Toledo was medieval except for the railway station. I stayed in a pension near the castle, sharing a room with a young army lad; very hot weather and you could reach out the window and literally touch someone reaching from the bedroom opposite.
          Spaniards siesta for 3 hours to avoid the afternoon heat, finish work at 7 and go for a walk & eat in the cool of the evening. Good life as I recall.

            Ha, we cross posted. I’ll have lunch in the Plaza Mayor tomorrow.

            Bottle cap thingy is a mandatory annoyance in the EU. That’s what counts for innovation there these days.

            Only non-witches get due process.

              You don't lose the bottle cap, and can reuse the bottle for water. It's good.

                @AndyD Yeah, but if you like drinking from a bottle, these caps are a nuisance.

                      Great minds think alike. First evening there, had lunch in the Plaza. Nice to sit there, but I was told that the restaurants are nothing special.

                      If you get a chance, try to have dinner and see the flamenco at Corral de la Moreria. Well worth it.

                                One thing I learned is that the traditional meat in paella is rabbit. I was offered to have it made with rabbit, but I turned it down. LOL

                                Taiwanese eat some pretty weird things, but rabbits seem too cute to eat. 555

                                          Echoing the comments. As someone who loves to travel but finds it difficult these days, I travel via your photos, and they are really great ones. A bunch of "framers" I would say... print and frame them! Thanks again.
