Fiestas de España

Planning for a summer has kicked off. What better place to start it off than a tour of the new European Champions! (thank God, Norway did not qualify for the Euros!)

Famous spaniards include Fernando Alonso (F1), Fernando Torres (Liverpoo), Salvador Dali (Art), Antonio Banderas (Hollywood), Raul (Real Madrid), Penelope Cruz (Hollywood), Vasco Nunez de Balboa (explorer, 1st European to sight the Pacific Ocean) and Dora the Explorer (the hottest chick in the whole of Spain). I can't believe in a month's time I'll be eating Paellas and drinking Sangría!

Travel and accommodation details are basically settled. I will not reveal anything more at this point to ensure return readership.

While the prospect of roaming the streets of Madrid and Barcelona (maybe crawl the clubs of Ibiza? just maybe!) is attractive, I must admit that the preparation and planning for the trip is exceptionally rewarding! Spending hours over the computer looking for deals and sourcing out the dangers and pitfalls for travelling until one feels dizzy feels good. It's almost like travelling, but sitting in your house (or some fancy cafe), drinking your teh ping, eating your indomie! Now that the planning is almost done, it's time for the anticipation, and then the actual thing itself! Knowing that the dangers described is in no way preparation of the actual thing just adds to the chaos factor, nice eh?

VIVA ESPANA!
