I'm back from Spain! The 12 days of my trip are over and I have already been back to work for a week! As usual, we walked a lot and ate a lot. I built up a lot of calf muscles along the way heh. Hopefully it will come to use for my sundown marathon in 28 days time hahah. I think I might have a hard time as I barely trained for it. Oh well.. I'll take it slow.
Anyway Spain is quite different from my Europe trip last year. There is obviously less shopping this time as compared. The shops were mainly Zara, Mango and Loewe. Unfortunately, I do not fancy any Loewe bags this time...
Rohit, who was studying over at Madrid picked us up from the airport. After we checked in, we went for a walk along the busy shopping street and headed towards a huge park. As usual, ppl in Europe love parks.
We ended the day with dinner as we were a little jet lagged. We had Jamon (ham) which is a Spanish delicacy. Not forgetting a bottle of wine... Wine and beers are much cheaper than soft drinks and mineral water in Spain.
The train service in Spain is so well connected, it made traveling around very easy.
Check out the beautiful backdrop we found while taking a train.
We made a day trip to Segovia for their suckling pig!
Some easter treats. Actually they are too sweet for my liking.
And for our long awaited suckling pig! The skin is so crispy on the outside but the meat inside is so juicy and tender. There was juicy flowing out when it was cut. It was simply mouth watering...
Cheers to nice food :)
Back at Madrid, we had churros! I like churros with sugar. The chocolate over there has a very strong cinnamon taste which was not to my liking.
Dinner was at Mexican restaurant with Rohit and friends. I like the girl from Ukraine. She's so cool and chatty. The other guy is her bf and he's from France. Both of them are so tall, we are like midgets beside them.
From Madrid, we moved on to Sevilla. A small town that we pretty much covered in a day. The main attraction were the cathedral and Alcazar ( it is like a mini version of Granada Alhambra).
Inside Alcazar
Can you see the rainbow?
Another great lunch with good squid ink pasta and salmon that melts in your mouth.
I'll blog more on Granada, Barcelona and Lisbon in the next entry. There are too many pics to be posted so I got to be selective haha
