So, I'm staying in a really small room but it's a private room, it's got its own bathroom, and A/C! Anyone who has ever stayed at a hostel knows this is the equivalent of flying 1st class to Europe. What can I say, I'm a name dropper. I told them my buddy, Mike, was writing a book about China and that I was thinking of writing about my experiences in hotels & hostels across Spain. What do you know...instant upgrade. (No, that's not really how it played out. It was a lot less cool than that. The thought, however, did cross my mind.) So, I got exactly what I paid for, a nice air conditioned room for the next 3 days. Here are some pics of the room.
Like I said, it's not a palace but it gets the job done. I walked around the city for a few hours after getting settled. I had a great paella and sangria at a quaint, little place a bit outside Plaza Mayor. It's been a great 1st day. I made it to Spain. Let's see what adventures await.
