Vamos a la Playa

So far in Spain I've gone to two different beaches, and different they were! The first Saturday I was here we went to a beach with a lot of wind and fine sand that wound up everywhere. The water was way too cold for my liking and my expectations for European beaches went down, as did my excitement since I have forever been a water baby. Luckily for me though this past weekend we took an overnight trip to Malaga and Nerja, two picturesque beach towns that I fell in love with, especially Nerja. There was a view point called Balcón de Europa, and it was beautiful. The beach we went down to was just as pretty. As soon as we found enough space for our group, we dove straight into the Mediterranean. At first the cold was a little shock to my system, I expected it to be quite warm and it took a little getting used to. At the same time it was such a surreal experience to literally be swimming in the ocean in Europe. After a few hours of fun in the sun we headed back home to Sevilla, where I think everyone fell asleep before midnight which is super early for Europeans. Unfortunately I forgot to put on my sunscreen (sorry mom) and turned into a lobster, but now it's faded quite nicely. Just in time for me to head to Lagos, Portugal for 4 days. I don't plan on leaving the beach much :) here are my iPhone pictures from Nerja! Just like a postcard :) I leave on Thursday for the long weekend and will return on Sunday, can't wait!
