I will be in Florence May 12, will visit Italy for about 4-5 days. I will then make my way by rail to Spain, probably Barcelona. I would like to meet some other travellers if you're in the area. I'm pretty outdoorsy I guess, so I'll more than likely be camping, but hostelling or even a hotel or two are fine with me. This is a trip on the cheap. My only obligations are to visit Salamanca and see my sister and would like to take in a bullfight. I'm basically getting on a train and going to Spain, pretty open-ended, not too much structure going on here. :) If you've been, and have any suggestions, or will be there during these times, would like to meet and share tapas and some wine, beer, let me know. slimkid2@hotmail.com

Also, my tickle.com social networking name is mdf76. Thanks again.

hey

I'm going to be backpacking/hosteling... etc. for two weeks in spain, starting around the 8th or 9th of June. I'm the outdoorsy type too, but I won't have any camping gear with me, so hostels and monestaries are the way for me.... I have no itinerary except that I need to be in Avignon by the 22nd, and I'd like to check out southern spain mostly, and then work my way up the east coast in a SADLY short amount of time :thumbdown: ... but its gonna be AWESOME neway, so if you're interested in maybe meeting up, let me knows... I would especially love a hiking partner since I'm a first timer :)
