Malaga (on the straits of Gibraltar) and Jaen, a small town in Andalucia where Vin lived for a year (he then lived in Sevilla for about 3 years). so it was like a homecoming for him. i totally enjoyed it and had to learn spanish the quick and extreme immersion way! pobre sila! we hung out so much with vin's old friends i ended up not sightseeing enough - did not go to Cordoba for La Mezquita, etc. ishhh. excuse to go back?? ;) would love to check out Barcelona too. the whole Catalonian region seems cool (btw, i'm told there is no bullfighting in Catalonia - it's not a Catalan tradition). we were in the south of spain for about a week last year.

The bullfights are interesting experience, but prepare for the blood and the gore. Ah yes! The flamenco dancers are another 'must see' too. Love it! <strong>SA:</strong> Use to love watching Jose Fuliciano (sp?) dance flamenco. There was a guy with some sex appeal. Bull fighting. Could see that in Mexico and really I am only interested in seeing slaughtered beef in McDonalds and not in the arena. Go in the summer.

I haven't had the pleasure yet, but my uncle lives in Valencia, and my cousin in Paris, so plenty of excuses! Now if I only earned something other than Malaysian Peso's (I mean ringgit)...sigh. <strong>SA:</strong> Gotta take advantage of those excuses and get over there.  The way the dollar is going it will soon be worth less than ringits.
