Spain in 2.5 Weeks



I haven't done much with my blog lately as I just came back from my long awaited Spain trip. After I came back, I got what people call 'post-holiday blues' which I named it 'Spain blues'. I was not in the mood to do anything at all especially in the first few days when I was back. The weather in London was cloudy and it was raining most of the time. In comparison, the weather in Spain was very good most days I was there. It was cold at night time but generally nice and sunny in the day time.

And I was torn between continuing the Angkor trip and starting the Spain trip story. It's not easy to continue the Angkor trip as I was just back from Spain with all the memorable journey in my mind. Even until today, I'm still feeling it. So I decided to start with Spain trip and continue Angkor trip later.

And now here goes, the itinerary for 2.5 weeks in Spain:
- Barcelona (2 days)
- Valencia (1 day)
- Cuenca (1 day)
- Toledo (1 day)
- Avila (1 day)
- Segovia (1 day)
- Madrid (2 days)
- Sevilla (2 days)
- Ronda (1 day)
- Nerja (1 day)
- Granada (1 day)
- And back to Barcelona (2 days)

It's the six of us travelling - all girls. Two were lost in transit on the first 5 days :-). And by that I meant they were only joining us from day 6. There was a mixed up with their visa applications and they could only enter Spain on day 6. So they had their own trip to Edinburgh in Scotland and then joined us in Segovia.

We moved very fast from place to place taking trains and buses as well as driving a rental car. It's a very tiring trip, I must say, but I enjoyed all of it. And we had a lot of good food and wines. I guess it comes to no surprise as Spanish food is just very delicious. But during the trip, I felt we ate too much sometimes. I always felt too full after meals. It's yummy but it was a bit too much for me. But overall, the trip was very enjoyable and memorable to me.
