Spanish in Spain

Second day in Ronda!! ;) Day of Ronda Romantica... the whole city has returned back in the old times to celebrate their war victories and feel again as a community... ;) And it really does look great!! All people young or old, kids, parents and grandparenrs keep up with this tradition... you can see all sort of costumes and dresses... and the town is buzzing from people... they go around, look at others and show themselves... they chat and drink and eat... all the town converts in a big, big fiesta!! ;) and there are lots of shows and stuff to see and admire!! ;)
Here are some moments of my walk today... big part of pics will be later when I come home and load out my photo camera cause mainly I try to take pictures with it... but still here it can be seen some amazing, totally breahtaking views of nature and this old style town... this place is total example of authencity and heritage!! ;) Here all the community cherrishes what they have and do not built another supermarket instead of something so beautiful and precious! ;) Yeah... a bit food for thought... haha... ;)
And here everything is SO diffetent... the nature... you see orange and tangerine trees all around.. they grow on the street... and all other beautiful plants and flowers... I have seen some things I have never seen before in my life!! ;)
The culture... people are very warm and friendly... they smile, they kiss you twice on cheeks even if you do not know them... I guess I have kisses half of the town already though ask me who they are, what is their name or how they look... have no idea!! Haha... ;) People catch you and suck you up in their culture... if you speak a little Spanish they make you talk, make you practise and they can talk about anything!! Literally anything!! ;) Their openess is just amazing, cause you really instatnly fell like at home and as if you are part of their family!! ;)
And well as far as I have got in touch with these people all this talk about them being late or being way too flexible about things... well... it is not really like that... yeah they do have easier approach to things... but it can really help you yourself to blow off some steam and relax a bit... and well for important things all is ok, they come, they do and they do their best! ;)
So... what else... hmm... today 2 times I almost got lost.... though I did not ask anyone to help me, but yeah... you have to know the addresses in order to move around.. maps and GPS do not save you if you do not know a particular place you go!! ;) and you have to be fit to move around in this city... I guess I will return in a perfect shape... cause not ending up or down the hill thing is just - lets say - heathty... haha... here are some streets which are almost vertical... it is crazy.. but yeah... you need some really comfortable shoes to get around... and steps.... they are everywhere... and they on one hand help you a lot... but also... they are crazy... it is fitness all day long.... haha... ;)
The heat... that is exhausting... during my morning walk my phone told me that it is +19°... but it felt like +35°... really!! ;) So during the day I just stopped looking cause understood there is no point in doing that!! ;) Cause of this weather you do not want to eat... you want to drink... I stick with water... I juat have it all the time!! Have never drink so much water in my life!! ;) Spanish guys, well, they drink lots and lots of beer, cold beer and they do not seem to get drunk... but me... I do not trust my body with mixing heat and alcho... haha... ;) Though with my lunch a small glass of cold beer is the best possible thing!! ;)
The food... well... from what I have eaten so far.. it is tasty... really tasty... but... for me and I guess for me it is a bit too fatty and too much white bread.... but... I do not give up.. and I hope to have some amazing dishes to tell you about!! :) Though already can say that they know how to make an ice cream... that was good!! Really good!! ;) And I was suggested to try out home made one... they say it is even better one!! ;) will surely do!! ;)
Ok... that is something from my today.... somehow I managed to write really a lot... so thanx to those who survived and read till the end!! ;) Buenas noches!! ;) :*
