Last month I headed to Spain with my Mom for three weeks. I chronicled much of our trip on facebook, but wanted to get a few posts up on my blog as well in order to have the visit achieved here.
I was honored to be returning to the Bambola Casa Creativa family of stores for my third visit. After 20+ hours of traveling, Mom and I started our visit in Valencia which is right on the Mediterranean coast. I thought I had remembered how hot and humid Valencia was from my last visit, but clearly my memory was faulty as I found I had not brought clothes that were cool enough. It was SO humid. Yet, the amazing thing was that the ladies in my workshops were all so understanding and kind working hard throughout the heat with no complaints. I owe a huge thank you to my hostess Lola, and her husband Jose, who opened their home to us and made my Mom and I feel so welcomed. A huge thanks as well to Lorena who translated the workshops and was a great help to me over the course of the weekend.
After Valencia, Mom and I sent our bags onward to Madrid while we boarded a Ryan air flight with a small overnight bag for a short 3 day visit to Santiago de Compostela. I had booked us a cute house through tripadvisor. The house is located right in the old part of town, was a good price and very well equipped. If you're planning a visit to Santiago in the future I would highly recommend it. You can find it here.
Next time, I will share our time in Madrid with you!
