South Of Spain.....

Ok Guy! Looks like this is our final blog :( and this is my final trip that i took while abroad so it works out well :) So as my trip was coming to an end we had a long 5 day weekend, so i decided to travel throughout southern spain with my boyfriend. We were able to go to both Seville and Granada. Seville is known for having the 3rd biggest cathedral in Europe and Granada is known for the fortress called "Alhambra". We started out flying RyanAir a really cheap European airline service to go from Barcelona to Seville, then from Seville we took a bus to Granada since it was only about three hours. My boyfriend and i stayed in hostels at both of these locations however, they were much nicer then the ones in Amsterdam, we were in 6 person rooms. Seville, was very peaceful and beautiful. The women there were very beautiful and everyone was kind. Granada reminded me of being in the little middle east, there were tons of really small windy roads with pebble grounds and a bunch of vendors selling little things. It was a cool vibe though. The Alhambra in Granada is the biggest tourist attraction. We had to wake up at 7am and hike for 2 hours to try and find the place were we buy tickets and once there, there was a chance that they would be sold out because it is so popular. Luckily we were able to get tickets for the afternoon entrance. We spent about 4 hours touring this old fortress that had breathtaking views of the mountains and town of Granada. I am very glad that i chose to have a relaxing last trip and had the chance to explore more of Spain (southern part) instead of going say to another country. Overall, i was able to see Barcelona, Valencia, Madrid, Seville, Toledo, and Granada, Spain :) I must say for anyone who still has a year or two left in school, i would highly recommend studying abroad it was truly one of the best experiences of my life and i am so lucky to have embarked on this journey :)
