The rest of the two weeks that I spent in Spain was amazing. It is such an interesting, relaxed, and enjoyable place to travel. The atmosphere is so fun and relaxing, and having pinchos (Basque for tapas) and a some wine at a tapas bar is always a great way to end a day. We drove all the way from the Northeast corner of San Sebastian to the southeastern tip of Tarifa and I enjoyed every minute of it. Definitely one of my favorite countries I have ever visited, and even though I have already been twice, it's at the top of my list of places to visit again.
My online photo album and captions will describe the trip in more detail but a few stream-of-consciousness highlights were:
Barcelona-amazing vibe and awesome Gaudi architecture all around...staying at Sancho's family's house in the countryside around Bilbao was really interesting - the tiny village does not see 25 American tourists very often!...The Guggenheim Bilbao was crazy and cool...Saw Guernica in Madrid again. Still super impactful...San Sebastian was a beautiful and really fun town on the Northeastern coast. Amazing food...Grenada was highlighted by the Alhambra which was not quite as cool as I had hoped but still very much worth seeing. Terrible audio guides though...Gibraltar was a weird escape...Tarifa was an amazingly fun and chill beach town
All in all, a great trip and a great finish to Europe. Next up, a long trip to Vietnam!
