Quick Post on Spain

12 days tour, inclusive of flying for 27 hours.

It was awesomely awesome!

I had fun speaking Spanish, with what little grammar and vocabs I know. We had helped from the locals from time to time, including lugging about heavy luggage, as well as asking for directions.

Once, we thought someone wanted to know where we got our map, in actual fact he thought we looked lost and wanted to help us with direction x.x.

We visited a total of 5 cities, and the ones I loved most was Granada. Granada has this really special feeling to it I can't really quite grab, but I find some of the stuff were much more interesting as compared to bigger cities like Madrid and Barcelona. Arab teas, beautiful Alhambra. Oh Alhambra, this is a palace I would definitely come back again. Beautiful palace, beautiful garden that actually smells super lovely! Next time, I would definitely spend an entire day there.

Granada and Seville were part of the Andalucia region, and I definitely like Andalucia more than others.

So the 3rd in place was Toledo, a very medieval city. Swords, castles, very tall loomy walls, and very stoney-rocky streets, but you get the feel if you like these kind of thing, which was me.

Barcelona is more of appreciating Gaudi's work, and seriously, Sagrada Familia was superb. But you must have a tour guide to introduce to you Gaudi's work. Everything was well-thought out and everything had a reason to be in its place. The building itself was still incomplete, but it gives a feast to your eyes even so. I would totally return just for the architecture itself.

Madrid is very much city, but I find that, hmmm I like the shopping there? Haha, cause the Gran Via was seriously very easy to shop.

Things were slightly more expensive in Barcelona and Madrid, as compared to Granada, Seville, and Toledo. To be fair, I was considering only the food and shoes that we saw and we prolly hanged out in too touristy areas.

Spain, or Europe were known for their Catedrals, but I think to me/sis were pretty much wasted if we didn't had an audio guide or if we didn't first read up the history. Mostly we just glanced through and woo/wah at the grandiose chapels, but we didn't have enough history to really appreciate the stuff. :/

So next time!
- Read up on history
- Get audio guides, keep your cameras! It much more worth it!
- Packed lighter luggage (lol, in fact, just bring many pairs of leggings, many camisole, a few tops and a few skirts, which should lighten your baggage way way way much)

Spainnnnn!!! I SHALL BE BACK!
