The Most Surprising Place I’ve Ever Been in Spain

Sometimes, traveling to a new place is exactly what you expected. My uncle came back from a trip to San Francisco grinning that it was "exactly like it is on the telly." Sometimes they're extremely disappointing (am I the only one who didn't really like Paris?) But...
