Since we can’t travel at the moment, I am traveling virtually. I made a dreamboard the other day which was a lot of fun. And as another replacement I am making reviews about travel destinations. Sounds like a good second best plan, don’t you agree?
Breda is the hometown of both Tom and me. It is a cozy, provincial town with a beautiful historic center. In the months before we left Breda to emigrate to Spain, I wandered around a lot, already feeling like a tourist, taking loads of pictures.
Dutch sensitivities
Most Spanish people give a sign of recognition when they hear that we are from Breda. The town was under siege during the 80-year war between the Spaniards and the Dutch. Our new friends know because Diego Velázquez made a painting of the surrender of Breda.
