"La beba in Spain" Spain by la_beba

Spain Travel Guide: 53,317 reviews and 136,986 photos

Spain is a country rich in history, culture and diversity. The festivals and fiestas reviving to full throttle, from streets carpeted in flowers to films-by-the-sea, from the running of the bulls to concerts and ballet in the gardens of the caliphs. Paella and sangría are world-famous, but Spanish food is more of an evolving cuisine whose contemporary practitioners are as daring and celebrated as any on the planet. You’ve heard about the eyepopping Guggenheim Museum that has transformed Bilbao, but there's also Gaudí and the modernista architects who made Barcelona as visually arresting a city as any in Europe. The capital, Madrid, has over fifty museums and a palace with 2,600 rooms. There's tropical islands, hidden hilltowns, Roman cities. Mountains with snow past Spring and nightclubs thump on past dawn. This is deffinitively my favorite country in the whole world!

That VT meet looked like a lot of fun...funny finding your pages through a comment made by another 'ol timer at VT on the official VT pages at Facebook Discussions...That's why I love the internet. I met Holger (HORSCHECK) by accident in Montenegro :)
