Castles, Mosques, Churches, Tapas, Mountains, Beaches, and Sunsets…
My first month in Spain was filled with meeting wonderful local people, traveling to historical cities, and connecting with a lifestyle that is so different from what I've experienced so far. As a South Asian student studying in the United States, I find the Spanish culture to be a beautiful mix of the Arabic, Asian, and American worlds. This video is about the travels that I've done so far in Spain as I aim to share a glimpse of what this country has in store for anyone who wishes to come here. Each part of Spain is unique, from the Islamic and Gothic architecture to the ever-changing weather, reflecting the genuine people and the breathtaking scenery in the country. The mixture of hot and cold weather in the Spanish landscape can take you from a mountain to a beach in a matter of minutes (sometimes seconds).
So far, I have traveled to smaller and more-preserved cities like Segovia, Granada, Cordoba, and Toledo. Going to these cities has helped shape a better understanding of what Spain was and what Spain is; these cities are a sophisticated amalgamation of modern and medieval times. I will be traveling more around Madrid and will soon be visiting bigger cities like Barcelona to get a better picture of what life is like in the two biggest cities in Spain. Hasta pronto!
