After the meditation center I went by blablacar from Malaga to Valencia. There I was stunned by the great street art. They have literally art in every corner. I took a lot of photos of the street art in Valencia, rent a great bicycle due to a guy in my hostel and explored the city. I also had a short panic moment in Valencia... My last days in Spain I spent in Madrid before I flew back to Dublin for a stopover before I took the flight to Toronto in Canada. I went to Madrid by blablacar and...

My new workplace was the Centro de Meditación Kadampa in Alhaurin el Grande. I found it through Jessie a Dutch girl who I met in Cádiz. She didn't go there because she feared that they will just speak Spanish. I didn't care, took as at chance to improve my Spanish, applied and went two weeks later to the center. Exchange with people is very inspirational and helpful! In the meditation center I got to know to very nice and interesting people like Almudena from Cádiz, Nacha from Chile and Juan...

I came by blablacar from Cádiz to Malaga. That is a common way to get from one point to another in Spain. I was really lucky and had a nice driver: Adriana who is a professional snowboarder and has a great taste for music. Malaga was for me just a stopover before I went to my next volunteer job in a meditation center close to Malaga. I stayed there for 8 days. Quite a long stopover... I have to admit that I don't really like Malaga. I mean in comparison to other cities I saw so far in Spain....

My friend Marco from Muenster gave me a lift to Cádiz the oldest town in Europe. There I just wanted to relax and get some ideas for my blog in sense of what I could add to it etc. The atmosphere was perfect for that! A lot of creative energy and very nice and easy going people. I lived in a very nice and cosy hostel where I felt home: the DeCadiz Cadi. Moreover I went for free to the No Sin Música festival, I watched with a Portuguese guy from Stuttgart the game Germany vs Portugal and I met...

After almost 6 month of going from one host to the next I decided to take a break and take the real backpack life. That means to explore Spain and live in hostels. I went first to Seville because everyone I met told me it is very beautiful and shouldn't miss it. They were right! It is very beautiful and worth to see. My next destination should be Cádiz. I already organized a so-called blablacar which I didn't need in the end... In Seville I had a great reunion with an old friend of mine from...

Again, it was quite close that I got the bus to Orce when Anne gave me a lift to the bus station. We just didn't watch the time during lunch. I think it becomes a ritual for me to get quite close the bus. Actually it feels in a way relieving because it is the opposite of how I was before my journey. Moreover it shows me that this way works quite well :-). In Orce I helped Alain with painting, plastering and building in his cave house which he bought in a lonely place in the mountains of Orce....
