Spain!!

Today, I want to introduce my favorite country, Spain, to you with some pictures and links. I went to Spain with two friends in March and April 2006, and stayed there for about 1 month. It was an amazing experience!

Here is the photo I took in Barcelona.

Do you know what it is? Yeah, this is Sagrada Familia. This is the big church constructed by Antoni Gaudí i Cornet(1852-1926) and it has not been completed. It was bigger than I had expected and beautiful. At night It was light-upped, so it became much more beautiful. Oh, but please be careful with gypsies holding a bunch of roses. They would be coming to you saying "Fiesta! Fiesta!" but it might be better for you to ignore them. I found the officail website of Sagrada Familia. Please get more information at El Temple de La Sagrada Familia if you want.

I also got these pictures of Sagrada Familia on yahoo!.


We went to Sevilla, the big city in Andarcia. The atmosphere of Sevilla was much different from that of Barcelona or Madrid. Weather was calmer and more close to the image we often have when we think of Spain like blue sky, white houses or people have a little dark skin and cheerful.

After we visited Granada and Cordoba, we went to Madrid. I recommend you to visit Cranada if you like to visit historical places. In Granada, there is a huge relic named Alhambra de Granada. It remains many vestiges of Islam which spreaded in this region at that time.

Here is the picture of this which I got on Google. I took some pictures, but I lost them.

In Madrid, we watched some flamenco shows. Here is a video of a show. Please watch it!

So, if you are interested in visiting Spain, just do it! It must be a good experience for you.
