spring break

Andalucia was everything I pictured Spain would be. We hit up 3 cities in 10 days.

First Stop: Granada

Its hard to say which city I liked best; all these cities have their own draw and theme. If you’re in Spain you must go to Granada. This city-town hybrid is for those who love a bohemian atmosphere and want to live in a place where all you see is warmth that resembles the valencia filter on Instagram . I haven’t seen so many people with so many dreads, piercings, tattoos, and with such free spirits and originality.

It’s a bit difficult to keep your feet firmly planted on the ground; I found myself slipping and tripping a lot due to the beautiful marblesque floors that cover all of Granada.

Oh yea, LA ALHAMBRA was AMAZING.

My little Grand Budapest Hotel 🙂

The Beach Town: Málaga

We hit up Málaga for a good tan and some well deserved relaxation. It is definitely the florida of Spain, and it has really good seafood :). The processions for semana santa were super intense that it was difficult to walk to our apartment because of the human blockades.

I finally swam in the Mediterranean! It was super cold at first but then I got used to it! It was so exhilarating! One of the best parts of the trip by far!

Oh, and our apartment spent days soaking up aloe vera after only spending 3 or 4 hours on the beach (#sunburn).

I GOT MY EAR PIERCED! Maggie, Steph, and myself found a tattoo and piercing shop and they were all so kind and accommodating! I got a hoop on my lobe 🙂

The Last but certainly not Least: Sevilla

To my surprise, it is a modern city. It has a beautiful metro, very clean and tidy. It has a Starbucks on every corner of the city center which was a bit…weird. It has amazing architecture! Plaza Espanya was my favorite!

We also saw a kick-ass flamenco show!
