To Spain and Portugal
In Athens we bade farewell
to our western Canadian
friends as four of us struck
out on our own to visit Spain
and Portugal. The flight from
Athens took us to the bustling
new airport at Rome where
we had to change planes for
our flight to Barcelona,
be very valuable as a trans-
lator while we were in Bar-
celona. r
.• The city tour we joined was
given in five languages— Span-
ish, French, Dutch, Italian and
English. We visited the Cathe-
dral City Hall, the Parliament
buildings and the Spanish Vil-
lage: This village was built
for the exposition ia 1929 and
has the typical examples of
architecture for all the prov-
inces of Spain.
The following day we drove
along Generallismo Franco
Ave, and followed the winding
highway to the Mountain of
Monserrat. Here we transferred
to a finicular and we rode to
the top for a magnificent view
of the monastery and Elephant
rock. We went to the cathedral
to hear the boys' choir and
see the Black Madonna before
returning to Barcelona.
A short flight on Iberia Air-
ways brought us to the Spanish
capital of Madrid.
We toured the 18th century
Royal Palace with its exquisite
crystal ,chandeliers and Flem-
ish tapestries and friezes. Then
went to the Prado Museum
where we saw the paintings of
the Spanish niasters — Goya,
El Greco, Valenques and Ru-
bens.

Our flight time to Montreal
was eight hours and this passed

to visit the cockpit and meet
