SOS Spain in Trouble

June 5-13 (2014)
Sevilla-Mija-Cordoba-Segovia-Madrid

A shock defeat of 5-1 by Spain in the world cup 2014 to Holland on 13 June 2014.

A little visit to the outskirt of its tourist spots shows that Spain is over built with Condominiums.  Some are left empty and some are not completed.  Nevertheless the outskirt of Spain is beautiful and scenic.

Food we should try in Segovia is the suckling pig, it taste much better than its look.

Of course, the rest is the Paella, tapas and curros.  Of course they have their (other top 10 dishes in Spain) Gazpacho (cold tomato soup, with chopped onion, tomato, bread crumps) and Bean Stew Soup.  The Gazpacho is cold and sourish, hence it is very refreshing while the Bean Stew Soup is rather saltish, I suppose taken with bread and the bean to reduce the saltiness.

Of course they are many other dishes that we have missed.  During our visit to Spain, the conversion is around Euro 1 = RM4.50
