Algarve, Portugal

 Portugal is all you could want it to be. Such beauty around every corner and at every lookout. 
The weather on this trip was less then desirable but it didn't even matter, if anything it made it more appealing. If there is one country that I would recommend for a visit/a country wide roadtrip/to live, it would be portugal. 
Without a doubt in my mind. 
Right now, I can't remember where all these pictures are from, but as I remember I will try and write the captions. 
We literally went everywhere in Algarve. So if it exists, we went.

Ronda, Malaga

If you come to Andalucia, go to Ronda. 
It's majestic. 

Feria de Abril en Sevilla

This was one of the most incredible things I have seen in spain. I'm sure this is what about 82% of Americans would say this is what spanish life is - drinking, eating, and the woman dancing around in beautiful form fitting dresses - and I kinda wish it was true. It's sensational. 
Spaniards do Feria right. When I think of a fair back home, I think it's usually the last place I want to be. Expensive, sweaty, and full of Carnival going people if you get what I mean. I only go for the funner cakes. I couldn't keep my mouth off the ground walking around all the rides and seeing all the beautiful dresses strutting around. Not the usual carnival gear. Also, it's not exactly easy to get in bumper cars with one of those dresses either, but I think it makes it more fun that way. 
Can't wait to go back next year ;)
