Salamanca
Hi Leiah! I'm glad you enjoyed my last blog post! Salamanca is not often considered a must-see place in Spain, but it really is a gem. I'm from Louisville KY in the US, but I go to school in South Carolina. I'm in Salamanca studying Spanish for a semester, so I'll be here until May (5 months total). So far I've explored the South of Spain, a little bit of Portugal, and next month I plan on spending a weekend in Paris and a weekend in Morocco, respectively! Hopefully you'll like reading about it! I usually try and post a blog every Sunday. Thanks again for the feedback, Erin

Lisboa y Andalusia
Hi! Thanks for the feedback on my blog! As for your question, I would definitely recommend visiting Lisbon (two days min)! I found the majority of people in Lisbon spoke very good English as well, so I wouldn't worry too much about not knowing Portuguese. I would honestly say I liked Lisbon just as much if not more than Seville and Granada and Cordoba. If I had to pick something to leave out in order to go to Lisbon, I would pick it over Cordoba. Cordoba isn't worth more than a day anyway (and really just to see the Mosque/Cathedral, which is stunning however...). So if you decide Lisbon is worth your time, you MUST take a day trip to Sintra! And the Alhambra in Granada is a must as well. Also, I've been told the most authentic Flamenco is found in Granada. Hope that helps! Please feel free to ask me any more questions. (Oh, and I go to the REAL USC, the University of South Carolina that is!)

Oh my word! I just had the best read and laugh in ages. I love your style of writing, it is very similar to my own. Aah man, I will be sure to visit Salmanca as it sounds very much like Id enjoy it, maybe even stay awhile, meet the dolls and the slow walking eldery people. Where are you from? How long were you in spain, do you plan on going back? where else have you travellled? I would love to keep in contact and read more about your journeys, I am based in the UAE, I have been here 16days now and am originally from Durban South Africa. Look forward to hearing from you. Thanks Leiah

Hello Erin I enjoyed reading your blog and I'm wondering if you could give me some advice. I'm going to be traveling in Spain/Portugal for two weeks starting on the 22nd of this month. I'm flying into faro, Portugal and staying in Lagos for three days. This is the part I need your help on. Do you think my time would be better spent going to Spain from there, or is Lisbon a must see. I know I will love Lisbon, but I don't have very much time and I hate backtracking, which I would have to do. I am going to carnival in Cadiz on march 4th for three days. And want to explore that part of Spain. Please write me back and let me know what parts od Andulasia you like the most and how does it compare to Portugal. Btw I speak some functional spanish but no Portuguese. I will be backpacking for the most part and enjoys most aspects of traveling especially meeting people from diffent cultures and eating their food. I can't wait eat all the great Spanish food. You mentioned USC is that southern Cal or U of s. Carolina. I'm hoping the latter, I'm a bruin, but I'll forgive you. Cheers
