I’ve been back from Spain for 2 weeks now and I’m finally feeling like my old self. For the last 2 weeks I’ve been so tired. Just about right after I got back from Spain I had to go somewhere else and I just got back from that place last Monday. Anyway Spain wasn’t bad but it wasn’t all that I thought it would be. If you ever go, make sure you know Spanish. Most people don’t speak English.
The resort area was right on the beach but there was nothing AUTHENTIC, so to me it wasn’t really Spanish. Coast Daurado is nice though. I spent 2 days on the beach in my bikini getting a tan. The water felt really great on my skin.
My first day out was to Tarronga. I walked around the harbor and the downtown area and saw the Paleocristina Musuem, which is in ruins. There are other temples in Tarronga but I didn’t see them. On Sunday the very next day, I went to The Bonavista Market which is in a very slummy area. It kinda looked like the north end of London- Nottinghill. Anyway I did a lot of shopping that day and most of it was for me. I finally found a pair of brown sandals that I like in my size. There absolutely cute. I would have done more shopping there but it started to rain. UNBELIEVABLE. Anyway on the 4th day I went to Cambril which is a fishing village at the very end of the resort area beach. There were many different shops there but I just bought postcards. I guess when you’ve seen one souvenir shop you’ve seen them all. They all were pretty much selling the same thing.
2 days later I went to Barcelona and lost my tour guide. I saw nothing but the downtown area of Barcelona. What a waste. Barcelona was suppose to be the highlight of this trip for me. I will be going back to Barcelona for the weekend next year. I have to see Gaudio’s work.
All in all Spain was ok. I could have had more fun if I was with friends, but oh well. I got a free trip and I saw some nice places. I tell though, I was glad when it ended. It was a very long week.
