Spain deep dive
Just got back from three weeks in Spain. We landed in Madrid and the energy hit us straight away. Spain has this mix of old and new that I love.
From Madrid we took the train to Barcelona. The food in Barcelona was incredible – tapas every night, jamón, patatas bravas. The people in Madrid were so welcoming.
Only downside: Barcelona was packed and we got warned about pickpockets on the metro. Kept our stuff close and had no issues. Then we went south – Andalusia, Seville and Granada. Spain in spring is perfect. Orange trees and flamenco.
We did a day in Valencia too. Paella by the sea. Spain has so many different faces – the north is green, the south is golden.
Already planning to go back to Spain next year. Spain really has it all. Culture, food, coast, mountains. Can't recommend Spain enough.
