Spain

Barcelona, the capital of Catalonia, where style, history and culture come together in the second largest city in Spain. It is also the tenth most visited city in the world. With this in mind, where should we stay you ask? I know just the place and it will take you to a time you know well.

As a boomer I was blessed with my father having been in the Air Force and we lived in Spain (Torrejon AFB outside Madrid) when I was in High School  What a perfect age to be exposed to other countries and cultures!

I love Spain - for it truly is my most favorite country to visit and even to retire. We have visited the capital, Madrid and also Barcelona but the one city that is the top of my list to visit - or even to consider retiring is Malaga - a brilliant gem yet to be discovered
