Spain and & UK travel

As mentioned in last post my visit to Andalusia region of Spain was sharing same passion of botanical printing with like-minded people.  By chance of meeting Carmen and Ana I also explored in the nearby towns and villages in Cordoba and Malaga. It's March warm and  longer daylight allows to see more outside.  Brilliant weather during the period I stayed and stunning views of blooming flowers made me excited.
Gardens and avenues lined with cherry blossoms and sorts of unknown flowers to me.

 My first stop was Montilla after two hours train ride from Madrid to Cordoba. Carmen picked me up from station.
Nice meal in Carmen's restaurant
There are lots of vineyards and olive groves in the village
A small town center of the village
I took a day to Cordoba by bus to the old quarter for a leisure walk
The Great Mosque is a must see sight

The Roman Bridge reflects its Roman past

After Cordoba I headed to meet Ana in Malaga 
We share the same passion of eco printing

We also rode along the Mediterranean coast in Malage

Say hi and stay......
In south Spain is relaxing 
A day out to Frigiliana is another nice stroll, a town known for its Moorish old quarter and narrow streets and twisted stairways. 
 
One of the most beautiful villages in Spain
People live in peaceful environment.  Each house looks like an exhibition.

 After Malaga I left for London for catch-ups

 Though weather was not too good in the first day I managed to meet friends and visited museums
Huge installation art piece of wool felt in the Tate Modern hall


Hanging art piece of glass chandelier in V&A color tone of the woven scarf Olena gifted me
The following days in London became sunny and bright
 Cherry Blossoms in St. James Park is gorgeous
 
 A short swirl visit London has to call it a day and time to back home
  
 My yellow flower journey to Spain is fruitful filled with warm friendship
  
My stay in Corrina's house like I'm home

  1. It looks like a very beautiful place. Even if on the cold side, the sun was shining. It's been so cold here for a long time and the sun has been hiding. soon I'm hoping things will change. I'm glad you enjoyed your trip to Spain.
