Napoleon in Spain

Lately I was two times (Oct. and Nov. 2013) in Spain.
The first time to follow as much as possible all the cities that Napoleon came through during his Campain of Spain in 30th Oct. 1808 - 23th Jan. 1809.
It was a long trip, more then 3000 km in 8 days.

Then I went with my wife to Madrid to complete it all during 4 days.
Now I have a good impression of the activities of Napoleon himself during that days.

You can all see and follow it on
