megg-abyte; <3: España #1

so my trip to Spain was two weeks long, which is a long time, and i don’t really feel like going into extreme detail about it cause i mean that’s over 14 days to write about. i’ll give an overview of the trip and then focus on two of the more important aspects of it.

before going to Spain we had an overnight layover in England, which was fun. we drove to London and went to the Madame Tussaud’s wax museum and drove around. in Spain, we stayed at a couple’s apartment in El Campello… it was actually more of their vacation home or something, their primary apartment is in Valencia which is nearby. the apartment was quite nice, and there was a really pretty pool downstairs that we were in quite a lot.

the trip was really good and really nice overall because it was really chill; we weren’t running around doing tourist-y things, mostly just hanging out on the beach or at the apartment or shopping or whatever.

so the first important aspect of the trip was the beaches. we spent many an hour lying on the beach, tanning, sleeping, reading, and/or listening to our iPods, or going on walks, or looking for seashells, or going in the water. the beaches there were unbelievably pretty, some of the most amazing beaches i have ever been to. the sand was perfectly clear and soft and white, and the water was really blue and see-through and warm.. and it was always very warm and sunny, which was of course nice.

we went to very many different beaches. there was a really pretty one right down the street from where we were staying, but we only ended up at that one a couple times because we tried out a lot of difference ones. we ended up having many picnics on the beach, too, which was really fun. the striped blue pad thing you see under my family in one of the pictures below was used very frequently. we still managed to get sand all over our clothes and the apartment, though. we were always getting sandy, salty, and sticky from sunscreen.

but there’s much less to say about it than there is to show, now <3
