Spain and Portugal 2024, #5
There were beautiful scenes everywhere we looked on our visit to the northern and western shores of the Iberian peninsula. Here are just a few of the many landscape photos I took.
And if you scroll down past the landscapes, I have photos of some fish and dolphins. (Nancy also has some fish photos on her blog, mostly seen on plates.)
