Our trip to Spain was split into four mini-breaks: Granada, Cordoba, Seville and, finally, Cadiz. We spent four nights in Granada, Seville and Cadiz and two in Cordoba. Each place had its own charm, and I’d recommend each as well worth visiting.

More often than not, that person is yourself, allowing you to reap what you sow.
There are many methods Firefox could use to improve how you interact with the program using the keyboard. This is a major way Firefox should differentiate itself from the competition and at the same time introduce a significant improvement to the web browsing experience.
