Day 120: Monkeying Around

Algeciras, Spain – Gibraltar, UK – Algeciras, Spain We totally would have pulled off a few of this in Gibraltar, cos the town sucks. But these, taken mostly up the Gilbratar’s rock, made up for all the suckiness :]  Mission macaque-smuggling-in-backpack failed though. These monkeys […]

Mijas Coste – Malaga – Mijas Coste, Spain I don’t think I had woken up as late as today since my whole tripl. It was good to slow down the pace. It’s hard not to, considering Davids town, Mijas Coste, is totally a vacation town […]

Sant Boi – Barcelona – Sant Boi – Malaga – Mijas Costa, Spain I would bet my money that Gaudi was one of the following: a) an alien b) once captured by Martians and spent a good amount of his time in the outerspace colony […]

Gaudi's Mosaic

Day 114: Pink Orange Red

Sant Boi – Barcelona – Sant Boi, Spain So Pedro had to work today and Marta didn’t. Marta brought me to Park Guell, which is a public park designed by Gaudi. The park was packed with tourists. Probably because it’s Gaudi and it’s free. We […]

Catalan's giants

Day 113: Vintage Future

Sant Boi – Barcelona – Sant Boi, Spain Pedro and Marta spent their precious day off showing me around Barcelona. It so happened that today was Catalan national holiday. Catalunya is one of the seventeen autonomous communities in the Kingdom of Spain, which its capital […]
