After five hectic days of traveling and sight-seeing, I finally have some time to relax and settle in. So far all of España has been increíble and gorgeous.
From the bustling capital Madrid
and the small tourist town of Toledo
To the unimaginable mixture of both worlds that is Granada
Madrid was so lively and bustling. I've never really been to such a metropolis before this spanish one, and I can see myself one day living in a large city full of modern culture - museos, arte, musicales y obras de teatro. Though it is true that living in a city can be pricey.
Toledo was very historic and pretty. It wasn't my favorite, but that just might be because I've seen one too many ancient cathedrals and castles.

But I have to say, there is no need for a dull moment Granada. It is the perfect mix of modern university city, ancient historic town, and magical moments. Discotecas and cafés and bars on every street, history and culture in every stone (and there are a lot of stones), and modern city students (and filth) all compounded into this one little area. I'm at a loss for words to describe the magical beauty of this place...especially when I get to see the ancient moorish palace the Alhambra at sunset from the top of the city. (I'd insert a picture but I haven't taken one that captures the beauty yet.)
I'm not sure anyone can ever get used to all the magnificent site hidden around the city, I know I won't as I explore Granada in the coming year.
