    Stuck in Spain

    Go to the Canary Islands. La Palma is great, the north part of Tenerife is awesome, there is a ton of hiking, accomodations and food are reasonable. I found an apartment on la gomera found 400 a month and had a great time.

    how is it on Frances? muddy?

    Thanks that's what I thought I'm on vdpl right now. Finding it a bit monotonous.. I've been pretty much alone the last 10 days, but from what I understand there are many people out here. The weather is good here,
