We think for hiking and scenery- Iceland is really at the top of our list. Switzerland is close for hiking but when you throw scenery in – it’s Iceland all the way.
I have only just started the book and so far so good. It is really nicely written. It was published in 1964 when she was still James Morris of course. It is only 150 pages or so and is a reflection of Spain at the end of the Franco era and that is a period in Spanish history and the transition from dictatorship to democracy that particularly interests me.
Even before finishing it I am prepared to recommend it as a good read.
So excited to see these pics show up in my reader now! At this very moment my daughter is booking our flights for a Sept visit to your beautiful country!
Those images are ridiculously beautiful. It seems like one of those places that are almost too beautiful. I felt that way upon visiting New Zealand. Every corner you turn you visit the current “most beautiful place I’ve ever been”.
There are so many places that I haven’t been but I am willing to wager that Iceland is amongst the best. If there weren’t so many new places for me to visit then I would definitely go back,
Can never get enough of Iceland – lovely country.
