The Summary

I had been travelling to the Iberian Peninsula many times but there were some corners that I was missing; I always wanted to see Cordoba, Gibraltar and Santiago de Compostella and a bit more to Galicia. It was also a trip where I would spend some time in my beloved Portugal and especially Alentejo. I ended up with more than 7500 km and a lot of good memories.
