I went for a full 2 weeks trip to Spain. Spend one week each in Madrid & Barcelona. Felt that 1 week is just good enough to fully explore and experience the life & the culture in each city. I'm not one that like to 'touch & go' type. That's why I've never signed up for any tour groups before as you can't really experience the fullness of the city you go to.
Some really nice pictures:
So what do I like about Spain? I think the main thing that captures me is the rich culture that they have. The people are nice, most of them do not speak fluent English but they are more than willing to provide assistance when we asked for it. I got 'lost' a few times in Barcelona and when I asked for direction, they will try their very best to explain to me the direction needed. So nice of them :) And ohhh... I love the buildings there. Not many high rise building but the details and the built of the buildings are just so pretty! Weather? No need to say much... definitely better than Singapore (hahaha) It's cold and not too dry.. perfect!
One thing I missed back home when I'm there is food! I love western food, but too much of them makes me miss Chinese food somehow. And european loves to eat bread... every dish will come with a basket of bread. And also egg & potatoes.. I think i've not eaten so much egg when I'm in Singapore compared to there. One of the most yummy food is their Paella.. especially the squid ink paella... oh man, it's heavenly. (sorry, no photos... it's so nice that i've forgotten to take a pic) but.. i've a picture of how paella looks like (seafood flavor):
I've done my homework before going to Spain and read alot about the security there. When I'm there, it's really not as bad as I've read. Just stay vigilant at all times and it's fine. It's not as 'scary' as what I've thought would be.
I'm loving the place so much that I don't feel like coming back already!! :p Shall start planning to visit the rest of Europe next yr. Next up maybe Paris?
