Spain 2015: introduction Hello everyone! This year I and my girlfriend decided to visit another european country. We have already been to Greece and the most suitable option for us seemed Spain (which in fact finally has been chosen). I'm going to try to describe here the most notable things regarding this amazing trip in series of posts. In this introductory post let's start with the following question: "Why exactly Spain has been finally chosen?" There were several key requirements that our trip had to meet. 1. It must be a European country (as I noticed before) where we have never been to before. 2. It must be a place located next to the sea and the weather should be enough warm for the beginning of September to rest on the beach. 3. We also must have an opportunity to visit cultural sights and that places should be located on the short distance from our location. Roughly it should be maximum 24 hours period for travelling to 1 place of interest (including transfer). We planned to spend about 50% of days on visiting different sights. 4. The duration of the trip must be between 10 and 14 days in a row. 5. Of course cost of the trip must fit our budget limits and departure/arrival dates must be within our vacation dates. After some research we preliminary settled on Italy and Spain. We didn't consider south of France because it might be more expensive and maybe a bit colder weather. We also didn’t consider Portugal because of some difficulties in obtaining a visa. In choice between Spain and Italy the most weighty argument was that Spain seemed more suitable to combine two types of recreation: rest at the beach and visiting different places of interest. Looking ahead I should say It was great trip, we really loved this trip and i’ll try to disclose the most interesting observations in further posts.
