The best adventures are those that contain surprises. There are wonders to be discovered by getting lost in the Highlands of Scotland or on the back roads of New England. There may just be a chance to meet a special character who changes your life. In ancient times these were sometimes known as angels.
WELCOME

Favorite Travel Surprise: To Dream The Impossible Dream
Returning from the West coast of the Iberian Peninsula (Portugal, Gibraltar,Seville), on our way back to Madrid, we saw this collection of windmills just above a pretty little town. Well off the main road we got an opportunity to see the real rural area of Spain. Just to the right of this photo is an old fortress. From this hilltop was a grand view of the valley. These windmills were constructed to grind grain. not to pump water (as in The Netherlands or California).
