Last 10 Day Trip

I still can't believe how unbelievably spoiled we were to have three spring breaks! And I can't believe they are all over now... insane. But I spent my last 10-day trip in Spain and Portugal.

We started off spending Thursday night until Monday morning in Barcelona. We had a great time walking through La Boqueria market, La Rambla Street, eating Walk to Wok and seafood paella, and seeing the Sagrada Familia and Casa Mila.

Later we explored Park Guell and I also attended a Barcelona soccer game!












Then on our last night in Barcelona, we went to bed at 12:30 am and had to wake up at 3:30 am for our 6 am flight. We arrived in Seville at 8 am on Monday (my birthday!) and couldn't check in to our hostel until 12:30 pm so we decided to walk around and explore Seville for the afternoon.







After exploring, we came back to the hostel and checked in and hung out on our rooftop terrace! Then we finally found a Mexican restaurant to go to for my birthday dinner, we had been craving it!


Birthday dinner!

After dinner, we headed to a bar to watch a Flamenco show (a traditional Spanish dance), and it was up close and personal which was awesome! While at this show we were informed about a pub crawl going on that night... so of course we had to since it was my 21st birthday!!

We got back from the pub crawl at 5:30 and decided to take an hour power nap before we had to catch our taxi at 6:45 to get on our 8 am bus! We got on the bus successfully and four hours later we arrived in Lagos, Portugal. We decided to end our very last trip in a nice place.. AKA a five star resort!




Belmar Resort & Spa

Lagos is absolutely beautiful. We spent the days relaxing on beautiful beaches and eating some delicious food.

On Friday we went on a Bom Dia boat ride which included a long sail boat ride and then a small boat ride through the awesome coves.









For dinner that night we went to a place called Nah Nah Bah which was voted in the top 10 burger joints in the world and we got their best burger!

We had an amazing 10-day break, I just can't believe it's over!! Now only five days until I go home... CRAZY!!
