My Travels in Spain

Spain is a very interesting country, with beautiful landscapes and really, really great night life. Just walking around the cities and watching the people and soaking in the culture will make you want to step back and say "wow.."

I spent several days in both Barcelona and Madrid, and I'd love to go back again for awhile. I didn't nearly scratch the surface of all that Spain has to offer. Madrid has an extremely interesting history, if you're at all familiar with the Spanish civil war. Barcelona is loaded with museums, architecture by Gaudi and the olympic village from the summer olympics. If you're in Barcelona be sure to check out the Picasso museum as well.
