never been to Barcelona, been to Madrid and most of the southern cities i.e. Sevilla, Malaga, Torremolinos etc... my brother's been to Barcelona a couple of times and loved it, loved it so much he really wants to move there one day ha.
Missed out on going to Spain this summer for the first time ever, but hopefully in the winter or atleast next summer I plan on going back.

I would really love to go to Spain. I'd have to be able to watch either a Barca, Real or Sevilla game though. I'm just scared of the language barrier seeing as though I know ZERO Spanish. It looks like a beautiful country.

Missed out on going to Spain this summer for the first time ever, but hopefully in the winter or atleast next summer I plan on going back. Have you ever thought about moving there? Plenty of times, but right now I've got my life here you know? Girlfriend, college, friends etc. I do have lot's of friends over there but I don't think I'll move until I complete college, even then I'll have to think hard about it. While things have changed tremendously over there, it's very hard to find a job still, degree or not. Hell, I've been stuck without a job here in the states for almost two months now. In terms of lifestyle, Spain is hand's down the best country I've been to.(I've been to Canada, Venezuela, and France and spent more than a couple of days at each.) I might have to settle for Colombia though since my girl's Colombian and loves it over there, ha. It's a mini-Spain anyways minus the guerrillas and cocaine trafficking of course, haha.

It looks like a beautiful country. People in Barcelona and Madrid 9 times out of 10 know some form of English and I know you'd easily be able to get around the city no problems at all. I've never been to a Madrid, Barca or Sevilla game in Spain. I have seen Madrid play in the states, and been inside the Santiago Bernabeu but when I go to Spain it's in the summer time so that's futbol off-season unfortunately.

Madrid wasn't anything exciting, I'll agree, but there are some parts on the outskirts that are ridiculous, just like any other city, you got to know where to go. Yeah it gets hot in Sevilla, but unlike in America, there is no humidity in the summer time so if you stand under the shade you'll feel a nice cool breeze. Well, of course you shouldn't drink the water of ANY foreign country you go to, it doesn't matter if it's Canada, Mexico, France, Spain, Italy, Russia, if you're not used to it, chances are yeah it'll make you sick. With that being said, water in Spain(atleast where I'm from in Galicia) is a lot cleaner and much better tasting too then here in New Jersey.

That bridge is sick, very nice pics. Yeah, I love the bridge because it's almost like the effect of like it's toppling over. Ourense is actually a very very small city. It's fun if you know people an d stuff but I wouldn't recommend Ourense as a tourist "stop" for anyone other than maybe a couple of hours. In Galicia, definently need to make stops in La Coruna, Vigo, Santiago de Compostela, and various little "pueblos."

Well we asked the person at the hotel if the water they had was fine, and they said yeah... But clearly my body didn't agree. Anyway, Spain is still a nice country. I should show some pics of the lightienng storm that took place when I was north of Madrid. I swear there was a lightening strike every couple seconds. It lasted over an hour. Never seen anything like it.

Ahhh Spain. Loved it. I went there on vacation when I was stationed overseas. Benidorm. Beautiful beaches. Never really went into the cities a lot. Was having too much fun hanging out on the beaches during the day and hitting the clubs at nite. Drinking oozo I think it was called.
Wild times,wild times.

I've got about 30 more photos of these. I'd just click to take the picture randomly and I'd get a bolt every 4th or 5th time, because they were striking at a ridiculously quick rate.
