I'm currently sick with strep! 4th time in a year, doc said maybe it's time to get the tonsils out. I'm not sure I'm sold on the idea - outside of the last 2ish years I feel like I don't get strep all that often. Anyone else have their tonsils out as an adult? What was your experience?

I didn't mentioned it but I am bikepacking. So it would take me at least week to get there. I will be in Madrid till Monday and then I will go, I need to get some stuff sorted out before I start properly.

Best kind of travel is getting "lost" and wandering around places no "normal" tourist would go.

You made me reconsider my route! Thanks

I looked online and I will follow Camino del Cid to Valencia. If everything goes to plan I will be there in about a week.

Unfortunately I didn't see much of Madrid, was really jet lagged and tired so I slept through yesterday. Today I walked all day through the city and visited the flee markets and had more of a chill walk more than like exploring and getting to know the city.

Unfortunately I am more interested in little bit forgotten/undiscovered places, so Madrid is too crowded to my liking. But I will have to return here sometime to explore it better, right now I am in such mood that I just want to get out.

Grenada is a wonderful town, but a week there is enough.

Sevilla, though, as far as 'big cities' go is stunning and feels like a small town with all it's small streets and windey alleys.

Barcelona...you can pass on if cities aren't your thing...we also found it to be a less kind city.

Each region has its own special charm, and don't forget about the Camino Santiago- the accomodations along it are used to backpacking.
