My favorite Places

So I decided to randomly post some pictures of my favorite places I've been to in Spain. So here are my top ten in no particular order...

So I'll start out with one of my favorite places in Burgos. This is right by the river and I walk here every day to get to seminary, to go grocery shopping, so get to church, and it's where I run. It'sa great little path when it's dry, and when it's not I go on the cement path next to it.


The cutest little plaza in Tarragona.
I decided that if I become really rich this could be my summer home when I'm older. I love the vibrant colors and the fact that the bakery and anything else you'd need is right below! This picture honestly doesn't do it justice!


The Guggenheim in Bilbao.
It was built by Frank Lloyd Wright and is the main attraction of Bilbao. I heard the inside is just full of really weird modern art, but the outside was pretty cool. This is also where the famous Bilbao Spider is.


El Palacio Real in Madrid.
From the apartment I was staying in I had an amazing view of this building and the capitol building, so I think that's why I love it so much. Well from this picture you can only see a little bit of it, oh well.


El Catedral de Santiago.
This is the cathedral that hundreds of people walk to every year. I think this is where they say they found the body of John the Baptist washed up on shore with sea shells attatched all over him. That's why the path that people walk on to get to this cathedral has a sea shell as the symbol. The outside isn't very pretty, but the inside is amazing!


The coolest park I've ever seen!
Though it's not in Spain, they have similar parks here so I made it count anyway.


The plaza mayor in Salamanca.
Some movie was filmed here but I don't remember which one. Ask my brother if you want to know. This place was huge! We came at night and we were glad we did because it's way cooler at night, but you get the idea.


The library at the University in Salamanca.
I love how it was so open and there was a courtyard in the middle. Also, from this view you can see the main building of the university. This school is one of the two oldest schools in Europe and almost every spanish author that I have to learn about either went here, or taught here.


The temple in Madrid.
Though it's small, it's still the best looking building in Madrid. I'm going there friday and I can't wait to see it again!

And last but not least...

San Juan De Gaztelugatxe near Bilbao.

I really felt like I was in the middle of no where. The hike to get to the stairs was about an hour long and there was nothing but beautiful views. Actually there's a little cottage right before you get to the stairs to go to the church that I think I'm going to live in one day, right next to the sea, gorgeous mountains, and plenty of hiking trails! Also, at the top of the stairs there's a church with a bell and if you ring the bell, you will get married. So if you want to stay single your whole life, I suggest you don't ring the bell.

So that wraps up my really random post. I hope you liked the pictures.
