Once upon a time a city was built between two rivers, the mountain and the ocean
This paradise was conquered by the almighty powers of Madrid
The city´s heart was stolen and the people cursed
Souless the city grew with glorious architecture but with no smile
One day the soul of the city will be found and the people will smile again.

Sorry to all my fans about the late entry of this blogin´, its been a bit hecticious and complexcated. Here is how it goes:
It seems to be that the people from catalunia are very conservative and not very welcoming to outsiders in general, they say that once you open the door of their hearts you gain a friend for life... the problem is that the key is really hard to find, no one knows where it is, I however keep on the look out so I can open some doors and meet some friends for life, I will keep you posted.
Southern Spain, however seems to have not such a policy, they seem happier, with no issues, and they are very welcoming to strangers like me or to any other turist. I did notice the difference and I am trying to organize my thoughts before I say any more in the matter.
As far as the architecture goes, I feel that southern Spain has so much to offer, the heritage of Islamic architecture vs. the christian architecture make the sites a stage for dwelling cat fight you would not believe. Looking at the mosque in Cordova was one of the most moving experiences, the inserted christian church within the original mosque impacted me in ways Im not sure I will recover. Please look it up.
That is it for now, I will make another entry soon about the clubing in southern spain, and other things like food, and fashion, until then stay put and please be patient with my blog of life.
