    Hi Alice~~ Perfect for the dark days of winter. I love the sunshine and green as well as the structures and the beauty they support. Makes me long for summer. Hope your Christmas was wonderful.

    Lovely, they all have the same feeling of being on oasis of peace and reflection. I particularly like the blue arbor and the planting around it. Hmmmm inspiration. Yan

    Just so inspiringly beautiful. My favourite out of this is Parc Guell. Wonderful to be swept away through blogosphere to sunny climates and lovely clear blue skies thankyou :) and then I look out my own window to see 1ft of snow.

    I tried to pick my favorite - I couldn't do it. Thanks for the post. I came to blogging late in the year and missed these, so now I can go back and explore. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas.

    So beautiful. It makes me want to travel to Spain. I just love how the Clematis looks draping downwards.

    That shot from Granada has that wonderful "am I inside or am I outside?" appeal. I think us Californians get so used to casual gardening that we forget what a difference formality makes.

    I want to go to Spain!

    I love these pictures. I like to use them as inspiration, for structures in my own garden. I need more land now, LOL. Thanks for sharing!

    When I am rich and can afford a huge garden, I shall build a collonade like the one at Fundacion Rodriguez Acosta.

    Best wishes for the rest of the Christmas Season, Alice, and for 2010 too.

    how absolutely gorgeous and inspiring! I mentioned this before but we visited parc guell in Barcelona - it was cold, dead, and rainy though! Wish I could have seen it as you did. I love the gardens of Europe.
