Back home, so sad!
I just came home today at 5 in the morning and now, I am missing the little of spain that i got to see intensly..
I have met alot of nice people, and have seen things that are quite different for me and it was all fantastic, I will definatly be going back!
I didnt see quite as big an area of Andalucia as i was first thinking, but since i have alot of time to go back and see it all, no worries about that!
We arrived at Malaga airport and we circulated the area between Malaga and Granada mostly, In Almunecar, a little city along the coast we drove to visit a friend who has grown up in Spain, when we first saw the city i thought "wow big tourist town.." and was kind of let down, but it was the place where I got to see some real flamenco, and we got invited to bar parties after closing, it was totally awesome!
Here is a bit later in the vacation, i dont post in order but it is one of my most fond experiences, at an outside place in almunecar i was drunk and got to borrow some cheapo guitar, i started playing and people started watching and a little kid suddenly stood before me and watched me with big eyes, he was maybe 3 years old, and then he started applauseing me, and its the best applause i ever got!
i didnt get a picture of the kid, he started crying when i went over to him and tried to get him to try out the guitar poor thing, but my girlfriend took one of me playing.
I didnt this time, I will be back, maybe in the winter actually, escaping metres of snow and 30- celsius maybe i can hook up then.
I do want to meet foro members and their friends, i think it would be a good idea to do so, maybe learn alot of stuff, especcially if one is naive as me
