We, three friends have just broken up with our girlfriends in a short period of time (funny story, don’t ask) so naturally we decided to go wild during these summer. We were sitting one day in the local pub, talking about surfing and the sea and some other stuff. My friend Benny had the idea to go on a road trip to Spain and he did not have to say it twice. We were packed the next day and decided to start in the evening, towards the unknown. We did not know how long we will be away, where are we even going, where will we sleep and eat. We did not care. We sat in the car and started our journey from Slovenia.

We drove the whole night, because our plan was to cross the whole Italy and sleep somewhere in France. We reached Provence, France in the morning. We decided to go take a shower – which of course we did not have, so we went to look for the second closest thing – the see and the beach. We found the beach in Montpellier and it was really nice. They had organized little trains, that drove all the time, from the parking to the sandy beach. After we were done bathing we went to drive further towards Spain. Our first goal was a city on the north of Spain, called Zarautz.

Zarautz is famous for it’s surfing tradition and practically everybody in the city surf. The old and the young. When we arrived there, we sneaked in the nearest camp to take a shower. There we met the people from a surfing club from Slovenia, so we started to hang out. We then stayed with them for three nice days. In these days, we rented surfs and bought neoprene suits. I have found out, that surfing is not as easy as it seems. During my tries to stand up on the surf board, I constantly ended being hit and erased from the surf board by a giant wave.

But the feeling, when you finally manage to paddle enough to ride a big wave is incredible. It usually ends in a disaster, but it’s all worth it. Once I caught a really big wave and managed to drive over my friend with the surf board. He was not very pleased, but he survived. We then hung out at the camp, with all the nice surfers from all over the world. The surfers are really open-minded and talkative people, so they were really a pleasure to be around.

After three days, we decided to leave Zarautz and go further through Spain in our quest for the ultimate party.We also met a girl named Tyasha in the camp and she decided that she will join us…So we went into the sunset and into new adventures. Our first stop was in a city called Victoria. The locals come to Victoria to party, as there is a lively night life. We arrived and started looking for a place to sleep over. All the cheap hostels were booked, so we decided that we will sleep in the car in the parking zone in front of an hostel. We went out, dance to the fullest, enjoyed the typical pubs. Interesting thing about these pubs is that they also serve a lot of different food. They are basically eat and drink clubs. My friend met a nice Spanish lady and went home with her.

It was good for me, because we had more space in the car. We picked him up on the next day, 60km away in a small Spanish village. Good times. Then we headed south, visited Pamplona, which is infamous for it’s festival called San Fermin. It happens once a year, young and brave men run in front of the raging bulls. Masses of tourists come to Pamplona on San Fermin, to watch the run and enjoy the party. Pamplona was really nice, but we soon headed towards Barcelona. Barcelona made quite an impression on me, because of it’s size and cleanliness. We parked our car in the suburbs in front of a small park. We got drunk again, headed out, visited the infamous Los Rambmla street, which is a home to masses of prostitutes and street artists.

Rambla street is really weird. You can meet every possible strange person there-from transsexual prostitutes to petty street thieves to pimps. Not exactly a place to be at night. We spent the next day visiting the local sites, like Sagrada familia, Park Guiel, Camp Nou- the soccer stadium of FC Barcelona. It is really a nice city, with lots to do. In the evening, we started towards Slovenia and after a long drive arrived home. Spain is a really nice country, worth visiting. And by my experience, a road trip is the best way to do it.
