Madrid or Barcelona

I was asked the question which do I prefer Madrid or Barcelona. Well it is a bit unfair to answer as I spent a few months working and living in Madrid and just over a week in barcelona on holiday. I would love the answer the question but I think the only way to do [...]

Cadaqués and port lligat

Un lugar de puta madre! If Granada was the highlight of the south then cadaqués and port lligat are most certainly the highlight of the north or is that east as this is the most easternly part of Spain. The are just small fishing villiges and they have lost now of their charm. Port lligat [...]

Montserrat

Figueres

In Lonely Planet it has stated about Figueres, and I quote, “a humdrum town (some might say a dive)”. I’ve got to say this is a bit harsh. Yes, the town does die down after the day trippers have gone back to their sea side resorts, and I know the main attraction is the Dalí [...]

Sitges.

I was surprised by Stiges I was hoping for more. Yes it has a great beach and it is a nice town. But at night it does change, ever body sat down outside that bars seemingly eyeing up others trying to decide who is the most beautiful. One for the superficial.

La ruta sobre ruedas de barcelona – Barcelona street skate

Friday night skate in Barcelona was advertised on the web site was a bit wrong. It was advertised as starting at 10:00 but when I arrived and asked around and was told it was more like 10:30 start. The time when we did actually set off was 11:00. Here’s a picture of a Italian guy [...]

Bacelona hostel.

Here´s some pictures of the hostel I stayed in, in Barcelona, number 28 1st floor flat 2. Well not really a hostel more a some Japanese guy’s flat with some rooms for rent. Doesn´t look much from outside I know,but the place has a vibe. How do you find it? You don´t, it finds you! [...]

Madrid a zaragoza.

¿Simón, qué piensas en madrid? – Pues, una otra pregunta sea – ¿Por qué sales madrid? – Yo he venido aqui para mejorar mi español y si habia hecho. Pero, a mi no me parece bastante por el tiempo he gastado aqui. Yo pienso que apendera más en estes meses si tuviera amigos aqui. Es [...]

Hasta luego madrid.

Why not “adios”? Well I know that I’ve done most there is to do in Madrid and in that respect I don’t have much to come back for, but it is a cool place and it would be fun to come back. This is my last day here and after 5 months I don’t really [...]

Sevilla

Quite a different story on accommodation here. I went to the first place and they had a room 35 euros, I went to the next place and they had a room also for 35. Shopping around a bit more I got a basic but clean room for 25 euros. All the rooms I’ve been stopping [...]
