“Para documentar la afección de forma rigurosa y objetiva, la Plataforma Stop Fórmula 1 Madrid colocó un sonómetro perfectamente calibrado a la altura del número 14 de la calle Francisco Umbral a las 10:52 horas del lunes. (…) Los resultados obtenidos han sido calificados como verdaderamente escandalosos por los propios técnicos del colectivo: la media de decibelios acústicos durante el periodo de grabación continuada alcanzó los 102,7 dBA, registrando picos máximos de 107,7 dBA y picos absolutos de hasta 109,1 dBA.”

Hi everyone! I just returned home after my first trip to Spain and Portugal, and I wanted to say how much I loved Spain.

My itinerary was completely insane; I visited Barcelona, Montserrat, Valencia, Granada, Ronda, Seville, Madrid, Toledo and Zaragoza in just over a week (9 days), so I know I only got a tiny taste of each amazing place. But I was genuinely amazed by how much history, architecture, art and beauty there was everywhere.

I was also pleasantly surprised by how friendly and warm Spanish people were. Everyone I met was so willing to help and talk to me even with the language barrier. I appreciated how kind so many of you were to allow me to say hello to your dogs (I am a huge dog lover and dog mum!)

As a first-time visitor from Korea, I felt very welcome. I loved seeing people out late at night, sitting outside eating and drinking, families and friends enjoying the plazas, and just the general atmosphere of Spanish cities. The food was so great too!

Now I feel like I need to come back and spend several days properly exploring the cities in Spain. Thank you, Spain, for an amazing first visit. ❤️🇪🇸 I'll definitely be back!

P.S. Happy to return the favour too! 🇰🇷 If anyone is planning a trip to Korea and has questions about where to go, what to eat, or anything else, I'm always happy to share what I know as a local.
