Day 4 of Spain vacation – Alicante to Granada
Day 4 of Spain vacation – We checked out from our hotel in Alicante and moved on to Granada. Totally missing the lovely seaside view of our hotel and had to do a mandatory jump shot with it. I’m in love with the alicante oranges. they are so huge, so sweet and totally juicy. We wished we bought a lot more and had to painfully ration them amongst the 7 of us. We visiting Alhamba Palace in Granada and as usual, i was up to no good taking all sorts of funny pictures in the place. It’s a HUGE palace and it took us a while to troll the entire…

Day 3 of Spain vacation – Barcelona – Valencia – Alicante
Day 3 of Spain vacation. We left Barcelona and headed for a day trip in Valencia and ended up in Alicante in the evenings. A totally long day on the roads, but interesting nonetheless. I’m in my usual cheeky moods in the morning at breakfast – trying to do stunts with my french loaf. – Trying swallow it at one go. – created my own cherie-inspired montserrat from what we saw the day before. – Trying to be a bunny girl with french loaf ears.

Spain vacation day 2 (Barcelona) – Montserrat & Park Guell
On day 2 of my Spain vacation in Barcelona, we journeyed up to Montserrat. The journey up is a little scary because of the long and winding hills and that i kept feeling like the bus is going to collapse over and roll down the hills. While the view is breath-taking and spectacular, i spend quite a fair bit of time feeling motion sick. The Sanctuary of Our Lady & Benedictine Monastery has amazing views. It was so high on the hilltop, you could potentially feel a little altitude sick. We toured around the place and checked out the statue of Madonna. We also took a vertical cable car which…

Spain vacation – Day 1 – Barcelona 1
I’m recomposing my travel posts for my Spain vacation taken many years ago and back-dating them so that it fits into my blog categories. I travelled into Spain together with a tour group for this trip, mainly because of the no. of pax involved (7 of us!) and also because i was travelling with 2 old folks – my grandpa and my grand uncle. The itinerary of the 10 day spain trip goes something like this – Barcelona – Valencia – Alicante – Granada – Seville – Lisbon (Portugal)- Salamanca – Toledo – Madrid. We made a detour to lisbon in portugal before popping back in Spain. Massive right? All…
