So my cousin Guillermo has been in Spain for the last couple of months or a year getting his masters degree in computer engineering.  So of course, like any loving cousin, I went to see him all the way in Spain (what a drag XD) lol.  So I have documented it for you all to see….HAVE FUN READING!!!

It took forever to get there, but we got there :D.  Day one was traveling!

Day Two:   So we first went to the beach on my second day there, since it takes forever to get there from New York, so I just HAD to go to the beach and relax a bit.  This is Barcelona…

While my uncle was driving us back home, I insisted on getting coffee, even if it was already late, you see, for I am a coffee addict, yes, I admit it, I’M A COFFEE ADDICT, LMAO!!!

That’s a modern kind of park, it’s pretty cool.

Thats La Sagrada Familia.  It was made by Gaudi, but unfortunately it was never finished.  Non the less, it’s still a beautiful building.  I loved it being an architecture student!

A cool statue of something, idk, we didn’t stop by for me to read what it really was.

church-galicia.jpg

A church in Galicia, it had a lot of weird and creepy trees in front.  It did give the church character though.

A Town in Galicia, and the view from the mountain that we climbed.  That was a very tiring afternoon.

Day 6:  Was spent in my aunts house eating and sharing stories :D

Day 7:  Some awesome sight seeing!!!

stonemaze-galicia.jpgstone-galicia.jpg

These were stone ruins or something, but they kind of looked like stone mazes to me XD

And of course, THE SMURFS!!!! Everyone’s favorite blue buddies.

haha.jpgsmurfs.jpg

So on our last day in Galicia, we just spent the day with the family, enjoying and appreciating eachother

Day Nine:  On our way back to Madrid, where I witnessed the Tomatina, which is an event where people smothered each other with tomatoes.  I, of course, did not participate in the event, but I saw from the window and took pictures for all of you to witness too!

tomato-fight.jpgcrazy.jpg

So many people participated in the event.  It looked like a lot of fun, but I didn’t wan to get covered in tomatoes. LOL!!!

So on our final day there, there was a lot of shopping done.  And then sadly we all had to say our tearful goodbyes and had to head back home to good old New York, New York!
