Valencia - Spain July 5th - 9th We have found a place one block from the beach and it is what you would like every place to be. It had a full kitchen, fully stocked with food, beach equipment, we had a private bathroom, and there was only 4 suits so ... Read more >

Viva Espana

Thu, 8 Jul 2010 | By alexkozovski | Views [593]

Pretty amazing couple of days culminating in the insane win of Spain over Germany. There is not much I can say about this match. Everyone who likes futbol/soccer has watched and knows what how dazzling those 90 minutes were. Yes, it was entertaining, ... Read more >

More Madrid nights and Segovia

Ok. Madrid has been consistently willing to party with me for the past few days. Yesterday as big group from the hostel we went raging. While maybe we didnt visit the greatest venues, the pub crawl was super fun. People were hooking up so fun for sure.... Read more >

Its been an insane few days. Have been in Madrid for the past 2 days, and met up with Renee and Javier who were awesome to let me crash in their hotel room, even though I think I snore something wicked. Flew Ryanair from Porto, Portugal, which is a ... Read more >

Spain by bicycle

Fri, 25 Jun 2010 | By mrandrew | Views [588]

After only 5kms of cycling I already felt I had accomplished plenty: I had cycled in 2 countries, got lost twice, gone the wrong way down a one way street and had cycled across an airport runway. Not a bad start! Shorty afterwards, a local saw me looking ... Read more >

Forgiving Body . . . but what about the mind?

After walking 25km or so, I was fine.. until I stopped. I felt like I could keep going but the the minute I got to the hotel and took off my Nikes, my legs and back ached. Each time I thought I would rest for an hour or so but that usually turned into ... Read more >

"Are you on the Camino?"

On day 1, a wiry French guy asked me this and I responded defensively. “I did 100km last year. I think I can do 90km this time.” When 2 Spanish guys asked me, I laughed and just said, 'si' Trying to be objective about it, I can see where the question ... Read more >

A week before my departure and I had a toe problem. A big one—and my big toe. Man oh man, you wouldn't believe the pain I experienced even when a sheet was placed lightly over my big right toe. How was I going to walk the 90km on the Camino Finisterra ... Read more >
