Yesterday, Maggie and I installed our latest ‘loo view’. We opened up the three frames, removed the folio of seven photos from our 2008 travels in Italy and replaced them with a selection from our visit to Spain in 2011.
Here are the images that now adorn the walls of the little room in our home:
Group 1
Part of the peaceful garden in the wonderful Moorish Alcazar palace, Seville
Example of the colourful ceramics at Plaza de Espana, Seville, built for a 1928 exposition and restored in the 21st Century
Parc Guell’s decorative plaza, a delightful element of the Gaudi legacy in Barcelona
Group 2
One of countless residential courtyards that are embellished with a water feature, soothing and cooling
A living statue, possibly inspired by Carmen Miranda, even if she was Portuguese!
Group 3
Jamon ‘museum’, Madrid
These little piggies went to market (La Boqueria, Barcelona)

About rmgtravelsandfood
Maggie and I are both in our mid-60s and live in Melbourne, Australia. This blog is devoted to our shared passions for travel and fine dining at home.
As cooks, we are skilful and adventurous within a framework of mainly traditional ingredients and techniques, and we aim to prepare nutritious food that looks good and tastes delicious. Our evolving repertoire is influenced by both our travels and Melbourne's vibrant food culture.
While we are young enough, our priority travel destinations are overseas, although we do spend a few long weekends each year exploring parts of south-eastern Australia. As travellers, we are most comfortable with a combination of organised and independent touring.
Our first overseas journey together was to Italy in the northern autumn of 2008. We later travelled in France (2009), Spain (2011), Singapore and Cambodia (2012/13). All trips from 2014 to 2016 are documented in this blog. When time allows, we will publish posts about our journeys - eight and counting - in 2017, 2018 and 2019
