La Vida Loca πŸ‚

An Epic Spanish Adventure with Skyelark

🏨 Marbella - Hard Rock Hotel
Our Spanish adventure begins in style at the Hard Rock Hotel in Marbella. Skyelark immediately approves of the king-sized bed - nothing but the best for our four-legged travel companion!
"¡QuΓ© cama mΓ‘s cΓ³moda!" - What a comfortable bed!
πŸ›️ Ronda - Spain's Oldest Bullfighting Ring
A pilgrimage to Ronda, the city of dreams for Hemingway and Orson Welles. Standing in Spain's oldest bullfighting ring, Skyelark and The Matador pose in the very arena where legends were made.
Granada Adventure
Literary Legacy: This is where Hemingway found inspiration for "For Whom the Bell Tolls" and where Orson Welles' ashes were scattered.
πŸ”️ Granada & Sierra Nevada
From the historic streets of Granada to the majestic peaks of Sierra Nevada, our journey takes us through diverse landscapes that showcase Spain's incredible natural beauty.
"Las montaΓ±as son magnΓ­ficas" - The mountains are magnificent!
Spanish Memories
🍞 Vigo - Sugar Blues
A more raw encounter with Spain in Vigo, where I met a baker making ginormous croissants. This place looked like it should be renamed "Beirut, Spain" - all bombed out with deep construction, concrete slabs, and jackhammers everywhere.
Reality Check: "The whiter the bread, the quicker you're dead." There wasn't a patch of green anywhere - I was the healthiest person walking the street.
Vigo Street Scene
Mission to Mars with buddy Mike - searching for a cigar store between 2PM and 4PM when everything was closed. Classic EspaΓ±a siesta time: part of the "work less, do more" strategy.
"¡MaΓ±ana, maΓ±ana!" - Tomorrow, tomorrow!
πŸ• Gibraltar Border Crossing
Walking Skyelark through the narrow, hilly streets of Gibraltar proves challenging, but crossing into Spain opens up endless possibilities for our canine explorer.
"¡MΓ‘s espacio para correr!" - More space to run!
πŸŒ… Living the Spanish Dream
From luxury accommodations to historic landmarks, from mountain vistas to cultural immersion - this Spanish adventure embodies the true spirit of "La Vida Loca."
Journey Complete: Creating memories that will last a lifetime in the land of passion, history, and endless adventure.
