Guadalajara (1)
Three weeks after the vaccination, just in time for a week of spring break. I have been holding back for a whole year and now I have to take advantage of the vacation to travel. There are still many restrictions on travel and flights in many countries. I checked it two weeks ago and found that Mexico still has no restrictions, so I decided to leave. I haven’t taken a plane for a whole year. There are very few people in the San Francisco airport. Strangers are next to each other on the plane.…

Portugal - Gastronomy
When it comes to Portuguese food, the first thing that most people think of is the pastel/ pastéis de nata Portuguese egg tart. During my five days in Portugal, I would go to a different local egg tart shop to try one egg tart (sometimes more than one, haha). The Portuguese egg tarts I ate on the last day in Porto won. feel come...

Peneda-Gerês National Park
Unexpectedly, the penultimate day of the trip to Spain and Portugal became the biggest highlight of the entire itinerary. Due to the high unknown coefficient, it experienced the ups and downs without risk. Everything has to start with the high school principal in the San Francisco Bay Area that I met the day before yesterday. He had just gone hiking in Peneda-Gerês, the only national park in Portugal, and showed me pictures,…

Porto
When I woke up in the morning, I received a lot of messages from my friends, all about the impact of the new crown virus. Trump just announced that travelers from Europe will be banned from entering the United States for 30 days starting on the 13th. I am worried that I will not be able to go back. I will check the specific policy right away. Fortunately, this policy does not cover US citizens and permanent residents returning to the United States from Europe. I went to the Youth Hostel before I even came to wash up…

lisbon
It was very late to return to Lisbon from Sintra last night. The first impression of Lisbon is that it is a mountain city, which is called the city of the seven hills. Wherever you go, it's basically an endless uphill and downhill run, like San Francisco. Just wandering around the city this morning, starting with Praça do…

Sintra
There is really no other better choice. I can only take the night bus from Seville to Lisbon, Portugal in the middle of the night after watching the flamenco show last night. We arrived at the Lisbon train station at 10:00, and decided to take the train directly to Sintra. When I arrived, I found the only one outside the train station…

Seville - Gastronomy
The ubiquitous taverns and tapas on the streets of Seville have become the cultural imprint of the city. Recommend a few tapas restaurants strongly recommended by locals that I personally tried: Bodega Santa Cruz, Los Coloniales, Espacio Eslava...

Seville (2)
Finally warm enough to go for a morning run! This was the first and only run of the trip. After that, I went to the Catedral de Sevilla Seville Cathedral. I checked online that it should have opened at 11 o'clock and charged 10 Euro tickets, but when I passed one of the doors at 8 o'clock, a beggar opened the door and said that I could enter...

Seville (1)
The third time I used the ride-hailing software BlaBlaCar and I had a total of four passengers, two Spanish natives and one Salvadoran tourist, all of whom only spoke Spanish. One of them is from Sevilla. I asked her to recommend me some delicious and interesting local food. She immediately took out her notebook and began to write me two pages seriously. …

Córdoba - Gourmet Articles
One of Córdoba's local specialties is Salmorejo tomato gazpacho. I always feel that the soup must be hot when drinking soup, and it is a bit hard to imagine what it would be like to drink cold soup. Tomato gazpacho is a summer appetizer in the Andalusia province in southern Spain. It tastes more like a sauce and is thick. Tomatoes are smashed together with croutons for a thick, topping…
