Hola Spain! Part 8 - Final (Finally!)

Yes! This is the last part to my random pics of Spain. Phew! If I were to post all my pics here at the rate I am doing it, it'll probably last me for the next couple of years. Ha ha ha....Enjoy, and have a good weekend (or what's left of it...LOL)!

Plaza De Espana in Seville - this place was used (though digitally modified) as a setting for Naboo in Star Wars II - Attack Of The Clones!

This was one of the best cake I've ever tasted during one of my coffee time in Granada - it's a whisky torte ice cream cake! I hope I got it right as I ordered pointing to a pic in the menu and I saw whisky torte written next to it.

And I shall end with one of my favourite photos from Spain. Came across this street performer in this lovely area in Cordoba. I like looking at this shot, serene and peaceful. Most houses in this area have little flower pots on the exterior wall of their houses. How pretty!

NKOTB : Glad you like the pics :o)

Wonda : Is okay, the natural sunshine and rain guarantee to help those with no green fingers! Yes, he's playing the guitar for some money. Judy no longer NKOTB lo....LOL..

Jun : I'm so sorry, I'm not someone who knows a lot about cakes except to eat them! LOL, maybe FBB, Allan, Nigel and boo_licious can help. Oh, there's definitely ice cream in there :o)
