经过两个月的准备，我终于满足了一个心愿：去西班牙过圣诞和新年。

我只拜访了马德里，托雷多，萨拉曼卡和阿维拉。

After planned for two months, I finally made my little dream come true: I spent Xmas and New Year in Spain.

I only visited Madrid, Toledo, Salamanca and Ávila.

马德里：首都城市，适合漫步探寻。我最喜欢皇宫和普拉多博物馆。

Madrid: It is a capital city you can roam and explore whole day long; I really like the Royal Palace and Prado Museum.

托雷多：它曾是西班牙的首都，直到1560. 城中到处是古建筑，犹如踏进了中世纪的欧洲。

Toledo: It was the capital of Spain till 1560. I felt like stepping back to the Middle-Ages of Europe with all its medieval architectures around.

萨拉曼卡：是座大学城，物价比较低。有很多美食：伊比利亚火腿，香肠和甜品. 这就是节日的意义吧，要不怎么会有借口每天享用三个小时的午餐呢？

Salamanca: It is a university city and the commodity price is lower than big cities in Spain. Here I indulged myself in the festival banquet and enjoy the famous Jamón ibérico, chorizo and mazapan. I think this is the meaning of festival; otherwise where we can find an excuse to have a three-hour lunch everyday?

阿维拉：最有名的是它的古城墙，是于11，12世纪建成的。看起来有点像我们的长城。

Ávila: It is famous for the old wall, which was constructed in the 11th and 12th centuries. It looks a little like our Great Wall.

新年前夜，大家聚集到大广场，随着新年钟声，每敲一下吃一粒葡萄，一共12颗。

你要是准备去西班牙，可以来我这里拿地图。

On the New Year eve, people gathered in the big square and eat 12 grapes one by one, with every beat of New Year bell.

If you want to plan your trip to Spain, I can give you all my maps about Spain. Cheers…
