Quéntar, the perfect mountain village

After another full day of traveling between Madrid and Granada Brandon and I are realizing that while cities do have some cool stuff we are way tired of getting ourselves turned around and ending up in Plaza´s we´ve already been in. Last night we got to a small village near Granada called Quéntar. We´re staying in a guest house of a couchsurfer and there are a couple other surfers there too. It is the most typical looking small European village, it´s gorgeous and confusingly layed out and so unique with extremely friendly locals. We´ve been eating well, happy to go around the corner to the market and then actually cooking a good meal. The village is on the side of a mountain so today we´re going to expore the town a little bit and take a hike, after 3 days of on and off sun and rain we have a beautiful sunny day. The trip feels like it´s finally underway and we´re sleeping off the last of our emotional and physical exhaustion from traveling so much in so few days.

Madrid!

Hola mis amigitos!

Brandon and I landed in Madrid this morning around 11:00 that´s around 4:00 in Wisconsin...We had about 24 hrs of travel all together but no major problems. We´ve wandered around Madrid a bit and gotten a bite to eat before taking a nap and finding a different hostel for tomorrow night (unfortunately the one we´re staying at tonight doesn´t have room tomorrow) We´re pretty worn out and in need of a shower but other than that we´re doing good and still can´t quite believe we´re in Madrid and starting our trip!
