Beth's 'Things I miss from abroad' post from a few months ago made me realise that I'm also feelings pangs of "homesickness" for my summer "home" in Madrid. Here's my list of things Spanish wonders that I long for...
- Tortillas
- The ubiquity of good coffee
- The metro (except for the 'circular' line that is six flights underground)
- My pain au chocolat breakfast
- Red wine
- The design on iron entrances
- Shabby lifts
- Zara
- Late dinners - even by European standards
- My incredibly passionate astronomy professors, who are also twin brothers
- The pedestrian-friendly structuring of the entire city
- Sliced dry sausages
- The food market
- The incredible architecture
- Going out for expressos with my Guatemalan roommates/"sisters"
- Wooden floors
- Fried pork intestines (which sounds terrible, but is really good and can be eaten like popcorn)
- My household of women
- Lively dinner debates
- Dancing until sunrise
- The heat
- My Mandarin-speaking Spanish mother
- Crazy football matches
