Spain feels familiar. Probably because Mexico is like a little sister to Spain, borrowing all sorts of outfits. That said, I feel very much at home. Even from the moment I walked out of the underground metro station, I did not feel that this country was giving me very much of a foreign vibe. But one thing Mexico could never truly replicate is the story behind each fountain, the edginess that comes with being one of the first countries to mix old and new architectural styles while foreshadowing the coming trends of postmodernism, and the smell. Spain has a very distinct smell. It comes from cigarettes, wine, and something else, maybe lemons, but it is a really wonderful smell.

I am so excited to see Spain through your camera and hear about it through your words. : )
