We bumped into Christina in Madrid! :)
A main square in Madrid. The place is alive at night.
Hanging out on the beach in Barcelona
Barcelona's magic fountain
Gaudi's gingerbread house in BarcelonaSpain was incredible. It was a bit of an effort getting there from Rome, but we had a nice day stop in Nice to break up the travel time. We spent almost a week in Spain, visiting Barcelona and Madrid.
Barcelona:
Las Rambles- this is an amazing street in the centre- full of street performers, men selling annoying whistles and pet stores.
Tapas, paella and sangria- Sarah and I did a cooking course on our first night- great food and a sharing travelling stories over sangria.
Gaudi- very intresting architecture. His work isn't hard to spot!
Free tapas?? We did a tour and was told of a champagne bar where we could get free tapas. I was loving the cheese some guy had passed over for me to try and I got Sarah to grab some. Thing is, it wasn't free at all...
Magic fountain- a crazy water, music and light show.
Madrid:
THE place for tapas- we spent our first night strolling the streets, popping into various bars for drinks and free tapas. We fell in love with one place run by brothers. When we visited again, we were welcomed with open arms and kisses from the tiny Spanish barman.
We heard a street preacher and got details on an English-speaking church- it was nice to go to someplace for a change over podcasts...
We bumped into Christina on the street in Madrid- a girl we met in Badgestein! It was a great suprise and we caught up over tapas :).
Sarah and I got a taste of flamenco dancing with a show called 'Carmen'- a good night!
