It seems that the last weekend of February is about to end. I hope you are having a lovely one and currently enjoying the last hours of the weekend. I believed I do despite being so busy with a lot of things especially doing offline jobs. It is challenging for me.

I was reminded today of my countdown to Spain when I received an email from Iberia airlines reminding me that there are changes in my flight schedule. After checking it and confirming of the new schedule, I guess I am good with it now. In fact I already started to pack my luggage today. There are still some things I need and I am good to go.

14 days more and I will be visiting Spain again. There are a lot of things I miss in that country…the food, the travel experiences, the fun, etcetera. I hope this time, I have more chance to explore especially Madrid, its capital city. This is not really a full travel but at the same time I will be working for sometime to partially finance my trip. I am quite excited with it. I know I will be learning some things in this trip. I also agree that I will have the chance to know more about the the culture, customs and traditions of the Spaniards since I will be staying there for 6 long weeks. Let’s see what life would bring me there. I am quite sure I will be gaining more experiences not only with the country itself but the people as well.

I am wishing myself a good luck! Have a nice week in advance to everyone!

The Plaza Mayor in Madrid, Spain during our trip last December 2011.

I can still remember those nights when we watched live band concerts and other shows in Fremont Street Experience in Las Vegas, Nevada. It was really awesome. The sound system they used and the microphones of the lead singers of the bands were so powerful. It made their voices more amazing. I thought I was only dreaming but I was truly there.

You can watch the performances of the live bands at the LED display canopy in Fremont Street Experience. It was so far the biggest LED canopy I ever saw. You can also watch some shows at FSE for free and I am quite sure you will surely enjoy it. Fremont Street is the second famous street after Las Vegas Strip. Never miss visiting this area when you are in Vegas.

The Binion’s hotelin my background in Fremont Street Experience. You can also see that big LED display canopy in this snapshot. It is better to visit here at night. I got a bag full of souvenirs from Las Vegas. I truly had a great time during my vacation there.

Paris! Paris! The dream city of many. I thought I can only see it in postcards, in television or in the internet. The dream and wish of visiting one of the fabulous and megacities in the world came into reality. I was in Paris twice already and I always love it there.

One of the sights we visited was the Louvre museum, one of the most largest museums in the world. It is also considered as the most visited art museum in the world. I was inside this museum but some hours of visit inside is still not enough to see everything. I am happy and contented to see the painting of Monalisa inside this museum.

It was so far a very memorable night walking in El Albayzin. This is a district in Granada in Andalusia, Spain. After our whole day of sightseeing in Granada including the famous Alhambra, we also took the chance to have a night sightseeing in this village.

We walked to the narrow winding streets of this Medieval Moorish past. I remembered some orange trees along the streets and I was fascinated with it. As we stopped under one of the orange trees, I asked one of our tour guides named Lothar if we can eat the fruits of the trees. He picked-up three oranges and gave it to us but he said that we cannot eat it because those were wild ones and taste very bitter and sour.

El Albayzin is located on a hill facing the Alhambra. From the Church of Nicolas, you can have a spectacular view of the palace of Alhambra. It is quite romantic when your loveone or a special someone go walking with you in this part of Granada while watching the lighted Alhambra during the night. At the same time breathing the fresh Spanish air on this hill while chit-chatting with each other. I just remember the beautiful book written by Washington Irving, due to his love for Alhambra. It is entitled The Tales of Alhambra. I love that book.

I am quite sad because I cannot get good images of the lighted Alhambra that night because I don’t still have a zoom lens for my Canon SLR camera. Probably in my next visit I can already take some good pictures because I finally have a zoom lens.

After that night sightseeing, we also had the chance to witness some Flamenco dances in this village. While watching the dancers, we were sipping the wine served to us which was included in that trip. It was overall a very wonderful day and night in Granada. I love this city and I am glad that I will be visiting Spain again very soon. It will be a 6-weeks trip and most of the time I will be staying in Madrid. Anyone wants to have a coffee with me? Just kidding folks. I am actually glad to see some college schoolmates and friends who live and work in Spain’s capital city.

The countdown begin. See you soon Spain! I am truly missing you!

Among the sights to visit here are Granada’s archeological museum, the Arab bath complex and the church of San Salvador, built on the remains of a Moorish mosque.

Some houses in El Albayzin. From afar you can see the  spectacular view of the lighted palace of Alhambra.
El Albayzin was declared a world heritage site in 1984, along with the more famous Alhambra.

We were there last Thursday, December 8, 2011. I love Granada!
