This entire month I have ventured around Spain like a real tourist. From Barcelona and Madrid to Valencia and Granada, as well as right next door in Portugal. Most of these are only a metro ride away. Each city in Spain is so unique, but Seville still has to be my favorite. I finally was able to go to the beach in Barcelona, swim in the clear water and soak up the Spanish rays in the white sand.
In Granada, I was lucky enough to see a flamenco show. It was an incredible performance, with a talented dancer and singer, guitarists, and a combination of finger snapping and hand clapping sounds.
While in Madrid, I could not pass up an offer to watch a classic fútbol game (which is actually soccer). Normally I am not big into sports, but being in the audience with a front-row seat was exhilarating. The whole crowd was cheering, and after the game was over, I could finally see what all of the hype was about.
Before setting off for Portugal, I just had to go to the largest aquarium in Europe, which was at the Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias in Valencia.
Then I set my sights on a new destination. Lagos, in Algarve, Portugal. A beachside city surrounded by cliffs, where I went snorkeling and visited the zoo.
Visiting Portugal only gave me more of the travel fever.
