My trip to Spain


I traveled to Spain on July 2009. It was a nine hour flight leaving Atlanta and arriving to Madrid. I left Atlanta at 6:55PM and I arrived to Madrid at 9:00Am the next day, since their time zone is 6 hours ahead of ours. As soon as I arrived to Barajas I was greeted very cordially by everybody. My final destination was San Sebastian so I waited in the airport for 5 hours until it was time for my departure. I was tired but at the same time I was excited to be there. My flight to San Sebastian was just a 45 minutes flight that went by really quick. As the plane was arriving I could see a beautiful view of Playa La Concha. When I arrived to San Sebastian it was already 3:00pm, just in time for lunch!! My friend took me to eat to this little restaurant close to the beach and I had the best paella(traditional seafood dish) of my life. After we ate we went to this country house outside the city it was amazing to see that in a big city with beaches there was still a place with trees and nature. The lodge was really nice; it had a lot of architectural details that made it really interesting. But the best part were the owners I felt like family as soon as I arrived they invited us to have homemade sidra (cider) that was delicious.
On my third day in San Sebastian I went to see the town. The city was beautiful, the buildings were colonial style, some of them hundreds of years old but still kept in perfect condition. One of the best part of San Sebastian was that you could walk everywhere therefore I was able to get a glimpse of everything without having to drive. I was surprised of all entertainment that the city offer there was something to do for everybody regardless of your preferences.
My trip lasted 8 days and I had so much fun I wish I can go there again and of course I will recommend Spain as a good travel destination to anybody.
