Now in Seville after a few nights in barcelona and valencia (again) and 4 in madrid.

barcelona was a very busy, exciting city, and i probably needed more than 2 days but nevertheless, i managed to go to a tapas night and flamenco show, and see a lot of the gaudi architecture all around the city.

Returning to Valencia, i deliberately relaxed a little more, chilling out on the hostel terrace, watching a rather amusing and interesting paella cooking demonstration, followed of course by the consumption of said paella, and some sangria.

I haven´t really liked the sangria that much for some reason (too sweet i think), but everyone else seems to be enjoying it.

But Valencia is the home of paella, so it was nice to have some while i was there.

From there, it was inland to Madrid, with hotter weather and friendly local prostitutes standing outside the door to the hostel.

Madrid had some beautiful parks, palaces and museums. Despite telling myself not to go to anymore museums (ever again...ever), i ended up going to the Prado and Reina Sofia museums for a bit of spanish and modern art, and they were relatively cheap and probably worth it (my valid (but not really) student card doing the trick once again).

On one day, Meredith (who I´ve been travelling on and off with since Greece) and I did a day trip to Toledo.


And today I ventured out on my own for the first time in a while, leaving the tender loving care of Busabout and making my own way to the south of Spain for a week before I head to Morrocco.

Looking forward to a bit more Flamenco here in Seville where it originated.
