I post about this every few months. Not sure when it'll happen, but I will go back to Barcelona, Valencia, and hopefully Sunday in Alcoy where I served a large part of my mission. I'd also like to see Grenada and Seville, because I hear they are awesome. It feels a bit rushed. I'm not sure how long of a trip I can make happen.

I think a car would make the most sense. Thoughts?
