Headed to the Iberian Peninsula for some golf and sightseeing. We will be all over the place; Barcelona, Seville, Valencia, Cartegena, Lisbon, Gibralter.
Any cool shops worth looking for?

Commenting so I remember to come back to this… let me look through some old stuff and try to find the shops I stopped into when we did Lisbon and Spain. Are you visiting Madrid? Spain had great prices on Myrsol, Floid, La Toja and a couple other brands.
Sounds like a fun trip, I’m sure you’ll enjoy it!

The Myrsol store in Barcelona.

You just know I’ll be dropping a few €€€ in that place!
Grab some LEA product in Portugal. I use both their Professional and Mentolada shaving creams. LEA shaving soap is also well regarded. You may find these at great prices in regular retail shops.

Last day on the Iberian peninsula. Only mediocre luck with shopping. In Spain- Killer prices on LaToja sticks and LEA cream. Also found some Lavanda and Floid for a pretty good price. Today’s my last day in Lisbon. Couldn’t find much here at all. Fantastic city to visit though.
Back in the US tomorrow. It will be good to get back home for sure.
Briefly:
Barcelona-highly energized urban setting. Activity never stops.
Valencia-had an episode of what was mostly food poisoning. Didn’t see much at all. Left the day before the flood hit.
Cartagena-all kind of history. The Roman ruins were most cool. Fun downtown area.
Malaga-tried to get in some golf. Got rained out. Waste of a day.
Gibraltar-not unlike your typical shabby inner city setting. Seeing the rock was pretty cool though.
Lisbon-probably the high point of the trip. Fast moving city. Lots going on. Not as “hip” perhaps as Barcelona but surely more diverse and iconic.
I’d come back to Lisbon. I think the first trip allows you to get to know the city’s ground rules. Second visit will be easier and more productive.
Only really negative aspect of the whole adventure…nowhere was the food really great. And this sign..still not sure what to make of it
???
Oh…and o melhor walking shoes are a must!!!
