So a bunch of us show up to go to a flaminco show two nights ago and the guy was running about 30 minutes behind. We asked him if we were going to miss the show and he just laughed and said no that it was basically a ¨homemade¨ show and it wouldn´t start until he got there. We didn´t really know what to think about it but went along anyways. We get to some bar in the middle of know where and they lead us to the back of the bar and down these steep cement steps that were basically crumbling apart and into some downstairs cellar. It was freezing cold and so humid that by the time we left an hour and a half later our clothes were completely soaked through. There were crazy manikin legs poking out of the walls and strange objects hanging from the ceiling...very strange. We were supposed to get a free drink with the show but apparentely the tap broke on the bar keg so they sent someone to get beer from the store. The guy came back with 40ś and started pouring them into glasses for us. So funny! Despite the crazy surroundings the show was amazing!! Basically there was a guy with a guitar and a woman dancing flaminco about 2 inches from me. We were so packed into this room that she actually ran into my knees during her performance. After that we went on a pub crawl...which is more like a discotech crawl because there bars are so loud here and everyone is dancing. We finally left around 4:30am because we were exhausted and actually got teased for leaving early! They live such a different lifestyle here its crazy. The next day I went to the Retiro Sofia(a museum) with someone from my hostel, which was really interesting. They have black and white tvs in all of the rooms with old silent movies and interviews with the artists playing. Really interesting. We went our seperate ways and I headed to the Museo del Prado but was not as impressed by it, although it is huge! After that hit up the Botanical gardens which were probably 10-15 acres and absolutely beautiful. Few hours later went back to my hostel to meet up with some people and we went to a bullfight. It was probably one of the craziest things I have ever seen. I won´t go into to much detail about it because I don´t want to offend anyone but I will say that it was an incredibley intense show. There were probably 30,000 people in the stadium we were in. They are in the middle of their bullfighting festival that lasts for 20 days and they fill the stadium every single day apparentely. Crazy!

Woke up and took the train to Barcelona today. The weather has been about 35 degrees celcius the entire time I have been here but today all of the sudden dropped 12 degrees and is pouring rain...yuck. This hostel is much smaller and only has 4 beds, we have our own bathroom to share, which is so great I can´t even tell you. Off to explore rainy Barcelona!!!
