Handstands Around Spain

Museo de las Murallas in Pamplona

For those who follow my instagram, you'll notice that it is dominated by pictures of me doing handstands while I'm traveling. Over the last year in Spain, I've compiled an impressive collection of handstands in some really amazing places. I've done handstands in 31 of the 50 provinces of Spain. 22 are pictured below.

Click on the pictures to read about that specific adventure! Hover over the provinces in red to see where I've been. Leave me comments below.

8 Things This American Misses About Europe

8 Signs That I’m Becoming European (the alternate title)

After three weeks in the US, I was noticing all the wonderful things that I had missed about my country. However, now that I'm back in Spain and readjusting to the Spanish lifestyle, I'm noticing the things that I missed about Europe while I was in the US. It's only appropriate, right?

No hay ningún viaje malo, excepto el que conduce a la horca. (There is no bad trip except for the one that goes to the gallows.) -Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra

I usually write a full post for my adventures, but in 2015 I had so many adventures in and around Spain, that I couldn't keep up! That's a good thing. But, now that I have some downtime, I'm trying to catch up on my writing and I will start with some of the smaller trips I took last year.
