Hi all! Believe it or not, this is our last week of travel! *Gasp* Where did time go? Well, we just arrived in Granada tonight. And Spain won against Honduras in the World Cup! Woohoo!
Anyways, we´ll catch you up on our adventures in Valencia and Seville!
Day 30
First day in Valencia, we went around Valencia´s city center to do the usual - seeing all the old historic buildings. Bonus the day? Getting a free CocaCola glass at McDonalds. Haha.

Later on in the afternoon, we went for a walk by the beach with our host, Conny. The sand was so so so so soft! And there were some street vendors selling cool accessories, clothes, and random tidbits for cheap, as well as this awesome fountain shaped like a sailboat!
Day 31
We spent the day at Museo de las Ciencias,an awesome interactive science museum. Not only were the exhibits cool, the architecture of the surrounding area, including the imax theater, museum, and opera house, was just amazing! Below: Mika and I in front of the imax theater. It was a nice change from all the old historic looking buildings!
The "make yourself look taller and skinnier" mirror. There was also a "make yourself look fat and stumpy like a sumo wrestler¨mirror too. But that picture is confidential because it is too unflattering for the public eye.
We took a break from the museum and joined Conny and her friend at the river bed in making balloon dogs and balloon flowers! It´s so much fun, I am going to take it up as a hobby.
Day 32 was just one looong train ride from Valencia to Sevilla. But once we got to Sevilla we joined some folks from the hostel at a free live concert and a little bar hopping!
Day 33
Seville is a historically significant city with so many cool things. Here´s just a glimpse of what we got to see!
The cathedral! The tower on the right is the Giralda, the watch tower of the cathedral. It´s nice because instead of stairs all the way up it's ramps and apparently it's wide enough for two mounted guards to go up at a time.

That night we went to see a free flamenco show! It was in a hidden bar, which made it even cooler. Yes, the dancer moved that fast and that is why the picture is blurry.
Day 34 (Today!) Seville --> Granada
FREE ADMISSION!!!! Saved €7 using our student card getting into to the Alcázar, the palace which was first built by Muslim rulers, and served many different purposes throughout the years. Remember all the explorers? Like Columbus and Magellan? They used to meet here!!!
So there you have it! Now we are in Granada, surfing Juanfra's couch! Tomorrow we're going to visit the Alhambra!
Ciao
Beautiful!A fantastic house with stunning views through the valley and a perfect sun terrace to dine at whilst the sun goes down.I think all of you really enjoy room and of course the beautiful swimming pool.
