This weekend mis amigos y yo fuimos a Cádiz! I LOVE LOVE Cádiz. This little town was just so picturesque. The beach, the streets, the plazas, everything! We took the bus from Córdoba to Cádiz saturday morning. Spent a few hours looking for a hostel (We thought we booked one in advanced, but actually didn't). It's funny because I found out that the previous hostel I booked was a 45 minute drive from the bus station, and I wasn't going to taxi all the way there. I started freaking out because there was no way I could cancel and I'd already spent 60 euros to book the hostel. But just as I started to freak out, I see an email from the hostel telling me that they actually couldn't book me because it was full. THANK YOU JESUS.
So there we are in Cadiz, without a place to stay ( I mean, we could have stayed up all night and partied like some other girls--but I found out later that they had a miserable time). We walk hostel to hostel, and all were either booked or too expensive. But then I remember a hostel that our director told me about and we happened to be close by. As we walked there, I kept on praying that there were free rooms, and there was! It's actually quite amazing how we found a hostel being that it was a weekend during the perfect time to travel. I know it's no big deal, but I'm just so grateful. Because, had we not found a place to stay, I know for sure, I would have been miserable.
After we settled in, we practically all ran to the beach. It was soo beautiful and reminded me a little bit of San Diego on a good day. After the beach, we went to get some drinks. Got me a Tinto de Verano (sangria) which was delicious.
But the best thing in Cádiz, for me at least, was when we ran into a street performer at some plaza (there are a lot). He was playing this weirdo instrument. Looked like a small piano with no strings. But he was AMAZING. I had to do everything I could to stop myself from giving him the 10 euros I had in my pocket. I found out later that he's from norway and he's just traveling all over europe, doing what he loves. That seriously was the highlight of my trip. I know, it's weird. But I just can't help it. I can look at beautiful paintings and buildings, but when I listen to beautiful music, it's as if God's talking to me. I'm so glad I got to see that, and take a video of it too! |
