Galivanting with Gaudi, in Barcelona
Barcelona is Gaudi, and Gaudi is La Sagrada Familia. On our second visit to this beautiful city, although we hopped around its attractions, it feels like the entire visit revolved around Sagrada. But we also imbibed the city’s quintessential European spirit, from the wide boulevards to the narrow twisty streets of old town.
Worldschool Hubbing in Seville
When planning our adventures in Spain, the experience we booked first was a week-long worldschooling hub in Seville. After trying a hub in Japan, we were excited to do it again. Hosted by a local couple, we and a dozen families toured the local sights, sampled the best churros and gelatos, and just hung out while the kids played in the park. After travelling for months mostly on our own, it was a much needed jolt of sociality.
Seville, not just for locals anymore
We came for worldschooling hub, and stayed for authentic Southern Spanish atmosphere. But we forgot to visit the barber!!
Soportujar - A Witchy Place
Soportujar is about an hour’s drive from Granada along a dramatic and twisty mountain road. The centuries-old village has a rich history of witchcraft and mystic legends, and has more recently decided to permanently dedicate itself to a kind of folk pre-Hershey’s Halloween, making for quite a tourist attraction.
Visiting the Moorish Grandeur of Alhambra
The Alhambra is a sprawling royal complex built by the Nasrid dynasty -- the last Islamic kingdom in Spain -- in Granada. The palace is remarkable for its incredibly elaborate filigree decorating all possible surfaces, as well as the gorgeous courtyards and landscaping. If you are headed to see it, we have some tips on how to make the most of your visit.
Granada, Granada, Granada moya!
The fountains, the orange blossoms, the little streets filled with souvenirs, the twisty paths, the daily churros and chocolate... and the magic of the people filling the streets. This little place had us wishing so much that we could stay just one extra day.
Finally, Spain!!
Having been to other cities in Spain, I’ve always imagined Madrid as a stuffy, more business version of Barcelona. But over our 2-day stop there, we realized it has a magic of its own -- green, grand and beautiful!
