Picasso himself spent only the first ten years of his life in Malaga, but during t...

Gibraltar, known locally as the Rock is considered one of the last vestiges of the British Empire, although a recent 2006 agreement between Spain and Britain unofficially ended that status, introducing a far more agreeable accord between the two countries.
Strategically perched on the edge of the Iberian Peninsula overlooking the narrow entrance to the Mediterranean Sea opposite North Africa, this natural fortress of rock was originally part of Spain but was ceded to the British...

This cruise began for us with a two day stay in Istanbul minus one suitcase that Delta Airlines lost. We had been in Istanbul for a couple of days at the end of our last cruise, and my wife fell in love with it.

There we were, at the Grand Bazaar, Kathy in a pair of my boxer shorts and a T shirt the ship gave her. But...
