thinking of Spain




Where can you find warm people
Whose culture and language interweave sensually
Created customs that did not meander
But shoots across a few continents, literally




Spain...


Where can you find beautiful scenery
That extends the imagination and, the heart, it captures
Steep with traditions, her people proud to be
Living in a modern metropolis, this isn't conjecture

Spain...

Barcelona attracts tourists like bees to honey
There are cafes teeming with people all day long
Churches with high steeples are aplenty
Come here for the arts, you won't go wrong



Spain...


Madrid is the capital city with an attitude
It's a little formal than the other cities can afford
I can't help thinking it exudes a quiet fortitude
Amidst the hustle and bustle, you won't be bored

Spain...

Costa del Sol is a stretch along the Mediterranean
It has a myriad of wonderful activities
Often, the cool wind whistled in from the ocean
Picture perfect and captivating in countless ways

Spain...

Ibiza proclaims another kind of flavor
All play and no work seemed to be the way
The inhabitants and tourists projected the same kind of fervor
Eat, sleep and party were common habits on display

Spain...

I have been there 3 times so far
I liked everything from the sights to the sounds
Tapas, sangria, huge hot dogs with onions and paellas
Yummy, I had to stop before I put on those pounds


Spain is for everyone, cada dia
The upper echelon can dine in posh lugares
While the middle class go para comprar
The average person can just take a siesta
At the end of the day, everyone comes together to fiesta
