The first step is always the hardest= goodbye Sevilla

So much stuff and the van so small!!!

And soo the big trip begun... in the not very early morning (yeps.. with a little bit of hangover) of september 1.we said goodbye to Seville and went direction Cañizal (Zamora) to see Hectors grandparents and prepare the van for the trip. The plan was to clean it and pack all the stuff that we need in perfect order...but that did´nt really work out as planned... tough we left all the unnecessary stuff in the grandpas basement, the van still seems a little bit too packed... and dirty:) Maybe the townfeast is to blame:) Following Hectors luck to find a party everywhere he goes- exactly the weekend that we´ve spend in Cañizal, was the the beginning of the townfeast especially known for bull running and wine tasting in the bodegas (winecaves constructed in the ground). Well the bulls running isn´t the best experience of the trip...the visits in the bodegas tough are to be rememered as something worth to see and do...aspecially when you don´t have nothing to do the day after:)

Salamanca

And to diversify a little bit, we also visited Salamanca- and to be truth, the half of a day, that we had to see the city, is not enough!!!

After the few days spent in the house of Hectors grandparents we went to Madrid, weighing few kilos more (thanks to grandmother Kika, which fed us all the time- nevermind our dramatic attempts to refuse to eat not even a bit more).
Our stay in Madrid was divided in two parts. The first 2 days we´ve spent in Madrids suburbs (in Hectors hometown Torrejon de Ardoz and in the summerhouse of Hectors aunt, somwhere in Guadalajara). And after a bit of chillout with the family in the beautiful house with swimmingpool, we went to do some sightseeing in Madrid -both during the day and the night.
Madrid is so pretty during the day.... but much prettier and fun in the night!!!!

Sightseeing can be soooo tiring... Hector resting in one of Madrids parks
