4 Amazing Sights I Saw in Spain

Hi, everyone! In today’s post I am going to share 4 incredible sights I saw while in Spain. So many of the experiences I had left me in awe. I read about history and culture in textbooks all throughout my schooling, but I never thought I would actually be seeing these things in person someday! Life is truly crazy. Anyways, on with the post.

 

1. A White City

Spain is scattered with pueblos blancos (translated to “white villages”). They are gorgeous, tiny cities where everything from homes to markets to churches is entirely white. It is actually quite fascinating to see! The specific meaning behind the completely white theme is unknown, but it has been speculated that it was either a mandate by a 20th-century dictator or simply just a chemical reaction of the limestone that was used. Mijas, the particular town I visited, was charming and very tourist-friendly.

3 Things I Loved While Visiting Spain

My recent trip to the south of Spain was absolutely wonderful. I had the opportunity to truly experience the Spanish culture and see things I never dreamed of seeing. I decided to wrap it up with a list of my top three favorites (in no particular order). 🙂

1. The Food

I ate SO MUCH good food while in Spain. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and delicious. Something new that I tried was tapas. Tapas are basically teeny, tiny portions of savory foods that are served as a snack with drinks or shared among friends as a meal. I love this idea because I am so indecisive when it comes to ordering at restaurants. While eating tapas, you don’t have to choose! Nicolas and I ordered pasta bolognese, Spanish meatballs, and ribs with roasted veggies. Paired with some fresh bread and a piña colada, this was one of my favorite meals by far.
