If you are ever in Spain....Part I

As my return to the states approaches, I have decided to collect some of my favorite anecdotes/sights/activities in a little series called "If you are ever in Spain..." Disfrutais!

1. Visit El Barrio Judio in Granada. A narrow, uphill street lined with shops, cafes, and markets...wonderful!
2. La Alhambra, which is currently in contention for a spot amongst the seven modern wonders of the world. For this fact alone, it deserves a visit. Not to mention beautiful fountains and gardens.
3. Drink a cup of cafe con leche and eat a napolitana de chocolate. mmm!
4.Valencia in General. But especially if you can visit it during the festival "Las Fallas". I don't even know how to describe this to you except to say it was one of the most spectacular things I saw in this entire country! Also, La Ciudad de Artes y Ciencias...it has a kickass aquarium!
5.Try a tortilla bocadillo. Tortilla (not the kind you have in Mexican food!) is a popular Spanish food that is basically comprised of: eggs, potatoes, and sometimes onions. They fry it up omelet style and sometimes sandwich it between two pieces of baguette. Delish.

To be continued....
