December 2025. Another attempt to escape Estonian winter, mud and darkness (right before 2 months of beautiful snowy winter), stock up on vitamin D, and not completely forget how to surf.
July 2024. Took a train (and a bus, thanks to Renfe) from Valladolid to San Sebastian! I have not truly explored north of Spain, ever, so about time to rectify the situation.
July 2024. Our dear friends were getting married in their hometown in Valladolid, so we all traveled there for the wedding and a few days before and after. It was so so hot, but also a lot of fun, and what a beautiful wedding it was!
Went on a work-trip to Madrid in early September. Spent a fun weekend with the chicas in Valencia before and headed to North-America after Madrid. So got to spend another day and a half in Madrid when coming back!

I went to a friend's event for an evening and got to stay at their place in quite central Barcelona after they left for a trip the next morning. I love Spain and well everything Spanish - Latin-American you name it. Barcelona is probably one of my favorite cities in Europe. It's been 6 years since I was there the last time - so definitely about time for another visit. Flew to El Prat airport in Barcelona. Instead of getting a bus or metro to tow, took a quick shuttle bus to terminal 2 and walked the bridge out of the terminal to Renfe train station, bought a T10 card and took a train straight to town. The T10 card costs 10,20 EUR and gives you 10 bus/train/metro tickets. Getting from the airport to Sans train station and changing for metro then counts as one ticket.
