With exactly 30 days to Barcelona and having purchased my one way ticket on SIA, I am finally realizing that all my effort over the past two years to get into a world class MBA program and move to a new city is finally coming to fruition.
I will be starting my new life with a two week backpacking trip across Spain before I dive into my MBA. I am finally excited to go on a trip with my backpack, which i bought nearly 2 years ago. I have done all the hostel bookings for my trip. Meticulous planning went into the places I will visit, stay and means of travel. My target is to spend not more than 60Euros per day. Being a student I will no longer have the luxury of whipping out my credit card if i find myself short of cash. Europe generally being expensive to travel, I need to limit the number of paid attractions i can visit and focus more on exploring the beautiful cities that are attractions by themselves.
My itinerary is as follows
21st Aug to 23rd Aug Madrid(Includes a day trip to Toledo)
24th Aug to 26th Aug Valencia(Will visit Bunol for the Fiesta de La Tomatina)
27th Aug to 28th Aug Granada
29th Aug to 30th Aug Jaen
31st Aug Cordoba
1st Sep to 3rd Sep Seville
The last 4 cities are in the beautiful Andalucian region of Spain which is the olive oil producing region of Spain. It is also known for imbibing islamic and christian influences in its architecture and food.I am really looking forward to meeting fellow backpackers, walking around the Plazas and tasting the Tapas and sherry.
