November 2023 - Spain; Barcelona and Tarragona

Spain. It was time to head West for a week and a bit to get back in to a language I know and a city I have seen before.  Of course to see the Gaudi Towers and hang with my buddy Viktor. As well a few nights in Tarragona a lovely coastal town with lots of sites.

A bit of a tight moment when I arrived back to the Sofia airport not knowing that there are two terminals not very close together.  Thank god I had enough time to mess around, find the intershuttle and get to my gate.  Bye Sofia...

Day 42 to 50+53 - Barcelona. Staying with Viktor for a week then a few nights at an booking apartment while hanging and exploring this great city.  In the past I felt it to be pricy and it is the most expensive in Spain, but as prices rise everywhere it seems here it's staying reasonable and the quality is definitely here. Gluten free beer everywhere, no tipping and a beach nearby.  Bingo!

Again on Wizz Air.  Never got the membership.

Day 51-52, Tarragona. Had a great weekend with Luz, a Mexican girl living in Barcelona.  Funny how she felt like my people straight away.  Am I becoming Mexican??  Definitely recommend going to Tarragona, lots of sites and history in the fortress on top of the hill along the coast.  It felt like Game of Thrones at every turn. Amazing that people live in these fantasy type places.

Someone to carry my stuff!

Oh I guess I'll carry all the stuff
