Gotta say Madrid's airport looks quite a bit more impressive and LAX design-wise. Lol, so yes I did have to take pictures

The airplane landed, roughly yet on schedule. The Sierra Nevada beneath us grew bigger and bigger, and the huge fields of tonsil trees came closer. But Malaga isn't the place one likes to stay for a long time. Here the roads are dirty and the streets noisy and crowded. We take the train to Ro…

So we decided to take a couple of weeks off and go see Spain. It didn't take long to choose destination or to pick the route. I guess, we were doing a lot of things wrong and we could think it all through in advance, but that's just us, me and my friend from Latvia, we bought tickets to Sevilla and…

For the second time I have nothing to say about Barcelona. We arrived to the airport and drove through it very quickly. I still hope I will find some time to visit it later andget to know better. I hope to change my opinion about it.

Mallorca's character is shaped, above all, by it's climate. The people of the Mediterrean know how to take life slowly - they have time to chat, to take a siesta rather than rushing back to work, to enjoy the outdoors whether it is the mountains or the sea. Palma the capital of Mallorca, comes as…

La Boqueria is the famous market in the middle of La Rambla in Barcelona (Rambla no.91). The market is really old and looks very nice -  I found it’s opened on March 19. 1836. (St.Joseph day). First this market was flower market because La Rambla remained exclusively for flower stands. From …

Caitlin holds her baby tightly in her arms as she listens to old Moira dispassionately. Her husband is out working in the fields, a man of the soil, melding with the dark, cold earth daily. He tills the soil and wrests from the earth her fruits, children of his toil and her fertility. Caitlin is ab…

Monday in Spain,Got up at the reasonable hour of 10am today, the weather didn't look promising so I figured why rush out of the house? Had an authentic "Spanish Coffee" (I'm calling it that because I made it in Spain) which consisted of condensed milk, as there was none of the fresh vairety in the …
