My experience in Spain

Spain is such a beautiful country, and I’ve been to Mallorca and San Sebastian. More recently, I spent time in the Basque Country of Spain, attending a Travel Blogger Conference.

I spent a week in San Sebastian eating Pintxos and exploring the old town as well as the beaches. Come back later as I’ll have explored more of Spain!
