Today me and dad went to a small town called Setenil that had a lot of caves. The town might be filled with Troglodytes as it is built under the caves. We got lost on the way there because I was navigating and the road we took was horribly muddy, rocky and very dangers. Then we were just at home for the rest of the day and I did some work.
Ronda to Granada tomorrow.

ReplyDeleteWhat is the most interesting piece of history that you learned about Portugal and then in Spain?
ReplyDeleteDear Ms. Dang, I think the most interesting thing in Portugal was the treaty dividing the new world in half between Spain and Portugal in 1494.
DeleteFor Spain I think it was Columbus sailing the ocean blue in 1492 leaving from Seviile Spain.
And for both of them I have another thing in mind which is the Moors who conquered Spain and Portugal in the early 700s and were pushed out of their last city (which is the city we are in) Granada in 1492. The Moors left lots of great architecture like the Arab baths in Ronda, the Alhambra (which we are in now), the Alcazar in Seville, and the Pena Palace in Sintra Portugal. It is interesting that these things happened at the same time.
