"SPAIN UNDER PERPETUAL CONSTRUCTION....." Spain by Carmela71

Spain Travel Guide: 53,314 reviews and 136,982 photos

Not very often you can see me dress like this lol

Lots of places to visit, different culturs....

Even if I have been living in different countries (England, Germany & Spain), this is my country and where I prefer to live!!!!!

Now it would be very difficult for me to move again... but you know, never say never!!!

I have been living in many cities in Spain: Bilbao (where I was born), Burgos, Madrid, Málaga or Cadiz, and now hopefully permanently in Marbella, where I had been able to find peace, when I need it (well sometimes not always, hahaha), fun, beach, sun (rained most of the weekends last winter...)

In Spain you can find people from so many countries, cultures ... that you do not need to travel to met them. Sometimes I forget that I am in Spain, when I spend all the day, speaking in English.

IF YOU ARE COMING OR THINKING ON COMING HERE.. NO DOUBT.. COME TO VISIT SPAIN

I will never finish my list of favourite cities in Spain, so just enjoy the resume list of areas in Spain above mark.

HOPE YOU ENJOY THE VISIT

Where I was born! Bilbao & Where I live: Marbella

Gugenheim museum

Well a long time along I was born there, and it has changed a lot, do not miss this place if you come to Spain, and remember that Bilbao is more than the Guggenheim museum!

I left Bilbao with 9 years old, so things as you will see have changed a little, now my place is Marbella.

Communities and provinces of Spain

Mix of cultures

Check my general tips to get information of the communities and difference provinces of Spain...

Good plan. Of course, being young is no trick. It takes skill to get old.
