San Jose

San Jose, originally uploaded by La_vida_magenta.

I went to the beach for a weekend and it was soooo what I needed! (I never realize how bad I need to escape the city after a while until I go away to somewhere chill and beautiful and I feel I can breathe again...)

After some long bus rides, I arrived in San Jose to stay at a really nice $15 hostel on the ocean! It was so nice to relax there.

Interesting fact about the coast of Southern Spain: the climate there is very hot and dry, so it´s like a desert, but obviously on the ocean. It is so similar to the desert, that Hollywood has made many movies there (including Lawrence of Arabia, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly)! There is even an "Old West" town you can visit to see the movie sets. Random, huh?
