Spain

Spain has been incredible. The weather has been over 35 degrees every day and its so beautiful. We spent a few days in Barcelona going to the beach which is very nice for a European beach but an experience to say the least. While sunbaking there are numerous people walking around selling samosas, sarongs, sunnies, beer, sangria etc...although its funny to watch them all run when the police come. We visited the parks and saw Gaudis work (which is amazing)...loved the Sangrada Familia. We also saw the magic fountain which is very pretty. I hope to put some pics up soon.

We are now in Seville, which is awesome. We are in a great hostel with a bar, roof terrace and pool...very nice! Last night we went out for tapas and to a flamenco show which was unreal. The food was delicious and the show was full of passion and definately worth seeing. We also took a walking tour around the city today which was great. The history here is so interesting and the city shows that.

Sadly we only have 3 nights left in Spain and then we say goodbye to summer and are off to Belgium to eat waffles, fries and try as many beers as we can...before heading to Holland.

  1. Barcelona & Seville (Spain in general)sound absolutely fantastic. I never thought of visiting Spain but after listening to you I would really like to. The hostel in Seville sounds like a real find. Flamenco dancing, did you get up & join in?You will be sad to leave summer behind but I can tell you we wont be sad to leave winter behind.
    Enjoy your last days in Spain. How many different beer types are there in Belgium??
    Take care

  2. Spain sounds great except maybe a bit hot. I have googled everything you mentioned and it all looks amazing, especially the Sangrada Familia.
    Don't forget the Belgium chocolate when you are there!!!
