España tiene mi corazon...

All I can say is WOW. This is the best country in the world. There is a little bit of everything for everyone and it is so clean. In Madrid we stayed at Las Musas about 5 minute walk from the Plaza Mayor. The first night we went on a pub crawl with our hostel. The night started out with 20 of us playing Kings cup aka ring of fire aka circle of death, with sangria, needless to say this was the best game of kings ever. The pub crawl was 3 bars and one club that is open until 6 am. As you can imagine this whole night was a blur, but we met the coolest people two girls from England who ended up being our roommates and have since met up with us in Granda. Madrid had an amazing open food market and the churros were to die for. Sevilla was absolutely beautiful a quaint little town with an amazing cathedral where Christopher Columbus´ body is. Our friend John from Madrid happened to be our roommate at the Garden bakcpacker in Sevilla. Every hostel provides a free walkling tour at 11am which has been awesome to learn all about the history of each place. Sevilla ia famopus for Flamenco and we saw a show our last night there. It was beautiful. There was a pub crawl where we learned salsa moves and then went to an indoor outdoor club on the river. The cathedral in Sevilla is amazing and the view from the tour was insane. We are currently in Granada. Last night we met up with our friends from England and two other teachers from Germany. We had beer and tapas. Here whenever you order a drink you get food for free. It consists of papa fritas, ham sandwiches, fish, cold salads, croquettes and pork. There are many different varieties. After we went to a club on the mountain called el Camborioit overlooked the palace. Most unreal view. I feel so blessed. Granada is a city at the foot of a mountain and the views are unreal. There is a palace here called Alhambra, we are going tonight to watch the sunset there and tomorrow we are taking a tour. Tomorrow onto Valencia for paella.... adios xo
