Alcala La Real, Andalucia


Alright, im seriously running a lil´late behind schedule, fine, i´ll confess, i DO have an itinerary to follow...

as much as i would like more flexibility in my travel and stay on much longer here in Spain, ive bought a ticket from Madrid to Cologne on the 26th of september, i really needa be in Germany by then if im serious about making it to Oktoberfest...

i know this is all very bad planning on my part, as it is, im not ready to leave Spain yet. damn, im having so much fun here! if i could do anything differently, i would have left London much earlier...sigh...anyway, that´s that...

So we left Buenache De Alarcon and make our way down south into the region of Andalucia...they say southern Spain is the place to go if you wanna see the very Spanish side of the country...

it took us hours on the road and arent we thankful that we´re traveling in Fabi´s comfortable Merc? (you have no idea how rich my spanish hosts are, the spoilt kids!)

we arrived in Alcala for yet another festival that continues on after Buenache, and as much as im loving it, i told the boys that i will have to leave for Portugal by tomorrow, im really running out of time and i will hate to miss Portugal before going to Germany...

back to the bad planning part, im gonna be punished with a whopping 100 euro for getting a bus ticket this late, still cant get used to spending so much after not spending anything at all for two weeks... :p

Oh yeah, i did it, i did it...

I challenged the bull! the feeling was indescribable when the entire arena cheered you on and cried: Torero! Torero! (an honour for the bullfighters) i know the reason im getting so much attention is because im a foreigner, but who cares? it really was awesome to be lifted up in the air and hear thunderous applause...

why dont time just stop when you´re dying for it to?
