After visiting Cuenca, I took off on Sunday to do a little tour around the south of Spain. Sevilla, Cordoba, Granada and Murcia. But things that cannot be explained happen, and for some reason in the end they end up making sense.
I loved Sevilla for it's interesting history. Every street is named after some historical event or legend, every building has a story and every orange tree was planted with a purpose. I took three tours: one by myself where I had some time to get lost in the small city centre, one with a tour guide and one with a local. Every time I saw and learned new things. And once again, I met great people. Two Germans, a Scottish girl, a few Canadians, an Australian, a pair of Portugueses... It never ends!
After missing my train about 5 times in one day, I realized that a subconscious part of me didn't want to leave. So after hugging everyone goodbye, I walked back into the hostel for yet another night of adventures.
Yesterday I forced myself into a train to Granada, deciding to skip Cordoba altogether. There is simply not enough time to see everything. I got to Granada early and met a friend I made recently on El Camino. We toured around the Alhambra. What can I tell you about this historical building? I can tell you it has a spirit, it has detailed carvings on the walls that are by no means simple, it has fountains and gardens and beautiful views.
Today I find myself in Malaga, right by the ocean. Who knows what adventures tomorrow will bring?
