Spain Travel Blogs - Page 10

I studied Spanish in Salamanca, Spain while going on a few weekend trips on the Iberian Peninsula (including Lisbon, Portugal). However, halfway through my trip, someone accidentally dropped my camera when taking a pic for me (T_T) so there aren't much pics for some places I went to. That's ok. Memories count the most. =) Journal entries are from my travel diary I brought with me during my trip. =D

I couldn't believe that I was on my way back to Sevilla and I had the luxury of 24 hours to spend in this pretty city! I texted my friend Eduardo (remember when I arrived in Sevilla for the first time). He called back to say that he was on his way out of town for the weekend but offered me his appa…

 I tell you a brief story about our trip to China of 15 days, that we view  in July - August 2006. We wanted to know something about this great country, its culture, its landscapes and monuments, its religions, but also something of  its presents . Seeing what they offer the diffe…

On my second day in Madrid, I already had the city figured out, and since I got a chance to explore the city yesterday, today was about experiencing more of the Spanish culture.  I got my tickets to the bullfight and was really excited. But first, I had the challenge of finding something …

We woke up early in order to get to the train station on time, well I did anyways Vlad couldn't sleep at all, so he was up all night.  I probably got about four hours of sleep.  So we "woke up" at 5 AM so that we could take a shower, eat breakfast and be at the bus station on time.  …

Day 1. As we flew above Spain in our chartered jet, I thought to myself that if anything, I'll always remember the endless fields of sunflowers that colored the countryside. We landed at a small airstrip just a few miles outside of Rota. There weren't but a handful of people as far as the eye could…

For Christmas lunch, I returned to my grandmother's house in Matadepera. My whole family came so we were quite the crowd. The fun part came right before the food when my younger cousins went to hit the tio. The tio is a log that has a face painted or pasted onto it. Then the parents put a blanket o…

This profile picture just seemed a little too dark for me, so I lightened it to show the very attractive girl.   The shot looked like it was shot at the very end of the day’s sunlight.  Rebecca is a brand new member as of June 12, 2009 who says she is currently in Barcelona, …

Loved this fabulous city

When one thinks of Spain they think of a thriving culture with great cities, beaches, and interesting locales with many dialects of the Spanish language.  When I think of Spain I think of the day when Hell froze over and overflowed on my first day of vacation... It is the late night, I actual…

this isn't really a blog i must admit, its more a place to collect my pics from my travels this summer around Europe.

I've spent couple of days in Spain recently, is it place of passion, flamenco, corrida, tapaz, good wine, olives,... if I should summarize this my short stay there in one world, I would say SIESTA...

This was my last day/night in Madrid. Unfortunately, the weather was pretty bad all day, it just didnt stop raining. So, I didnt particularly do much, except sit in cafes! Had a walk up to the Plaza Mayor, but that was about it. I was pretty tired from all the partying I had been up to anyway, so t…

I don't know if I have possibility to connect with travBuddy by net and maybe I 'll try to enjoy the place, so for 2 weeks I stay away from computer. I'll write sth when I come back.:-) See Ya!

First we had breakfast ofcourse =)From the hotel we walked to the harbor and took a bootride. The view was wonderful. Later that day we went to see the apartment that Gaudi made (pictures in the previous entry). Then we went to the park with the giant bench. When we spend our whole day there we wen…
