Madrid. Tapas and beer.

Madrid is the Belfast of Spain! Where we found BCN to be very touristy and busy, Madrid has showed us a more slow and typical version of Spain. On the first day, we managed to see a lot. A lot of tapas bars that is. We spent the day hopping around the city from tapas bar to tapas bar. I...

The Real Madrid

Trains in Spain, I soon discovered, trump those anywhere else in Southern Europe. Taking a mid to long-distance train journey is very much like taking a flight for the Spaniards, and with this come many advantages and associated disadvantages. For example: you have to 'check-in', passing...

´Barthelona!´

As the herds of elderly and young alike were driven away on their various tour buses, only a handful of us remained standing by the ferry. I had asked a guard and found out what bus to take, but some of the other travellers either hadn´t been travelling for as long or simply thought they could...

Barcelona, more calm when you are sick...

We arrived into Barcelona after a quick flight from Belfast. We pulled into the city, right in the middle of the day, and quickly got our feet under us as we bypassed the metro to walk to the hostel. A good hour and a half later, the original decision to walk didnt seem like the best idea in...

Our days in Madrid

We left Granada on the morning of the 14th and made our way to Madrid. It was about a 4.5 hour train ride, so we got here around 3. We got off the train and really needed to eat and go to the washroom. The train station in Madrid seemed to have only 1 bathroom in the entire place, it took us 15...

Granada Granada Granada (by Amber)

We arrived in Granada after a long night on the train. I didn´t sleep as well as I had thought I would but it probably had something to do with the guy across from me (not Trevor) staring at me and playing footsie´s with me, I actually had to tell him to back off. We moved seats later and I...

Our day in Valencia

Our day was short in Valencia. We left barcelona a little later than we had hoped to. We got to the train station around 11 but the train wasn't until 2 and a 3 hour ride put us in Valencia about 530. We soon discovered that that day must have been a holiday, every church was packed with...
