In 1494-1495, Cartographer and Physician Hieronymus Münzer and three friends from Nuremberg made a trip through Spain and wrote about it. Follow us as we make their journey in the 21st century. We will post Münzer's observations, then our own, with photos of what is there now and how things have changed. We begin the quest on July 5!

It is like two cities that are separated by a quite clean river.
