Spain Vs Portugal
Rikke Greenlee
hi jon, i want to travel around spain, portugal and morocco too. Would you like to suggest where city i arrived 1st? madrid, lisbon or marakesh? And how you travelling around, spain first and portugal next then morocco?thanks in advance
Any idea what I am doing wrong? Is spain just a tough nut to crack with a wide ass front or is there a failure on my part in division design, plan execution, (I rarely micro and just draw an offensive line, press "GO" and fast forward hoping for the best.) etc. Am I supposed to attack earlier right after the civil war?
Great plan! I went back to see which month you were thinking--the area gets HOT--and April-May is a great choice. I was in La Mancha and Extremadura late May and managed to miss the heat wave of last year. April is probably a safer bet. You might see if you can work in a visit to the cherry trees: -spain/jerte-valley-caceres/
I wanted to work it in but we did not make it.
Since you were initially interested in Portugal, you also might at least approach the border if you are interested in seeing a Roman bridge, at Alcantara. It is adjacent to a dam, which I found a fascinating juxtaposition. It's also a stunningly beautiful area.
We do a lot of outdoor activities so unless you are interested in hiking, I'll leave those details out--but they usually involve some really excellent scenic driving on the other hand (Like at Monfrague, you can park right at the rock face and see raptors soaring at the top, or stay the night at experience star gazing). We spent four nights in Caceres and visited Merida as a day trip. We did not make it to Trujillo or Guadalupe, or a lot more--will have to return. I think you could devote a week depending on how much time you ultimately take, as I know it will be packed itinerary with Andalucia. But it'll be a nice little interlude before or after your intensive sightseeing.

Great website: (If you have a Spain guidebook, it may just give a brief overview of Extremedura, so I went to the web for more detail).
