Quick Intro- I haven't been writing here a lot, so I'll bring you up to speed quickly before I dive into what this post is really about. I recently moved from Getafe up to Madrid. My friend Elena and I are going (I say going to because she's still in Mexico) to share an apartment in Nueva Neumancia. It's close to Puente de Vallecas, which is ( Read more... ) -
Good day at school

Coming up next: MALTA, ATHENS, PAROS
Well, I'm still getting over how exciting the Fallas were. One of my co-workers at school told me about the bonfires of Saint John in Alicante in June... from the little bit I've read and heard, this sounds like something I need to go to!!

Las Fallas in Valencia are seriously the coolest thing I've EVER seen in Spain!
This past Thursday I met up with Ani (my Bulgarian friend here in Spain) and we took the bus to Valencia so that on Friday we could see Las Fallas- in other words, we went to go look at giagantic, painted paper-maché works of art, which the valencianos have worked on all year to make, and then watch them go up in flames in an awesome display of ( Read more... )
