SPAIN ...From time to time the Huntington Beach News will be running In a Camera's Eye of photos by Huntington Beach Photographer Josh Sanchez in the hope seeing what great hidden sights to be found in his travels.

Following Paris next stop, Barcelona, Spain. Temps are heating up in Spain. I met up with Asier Fernandez, a former family exchange student from Madrid who gave me a quickie tour of his city & a day trip to Toledo. It was hot so I can see why residents want to go to cooler places, like Basque Country & the seaside in the north of Spain.

Segarda Familia, designer & architect Antoni Guardi began in 1822& is still under construction
