En los EEUU

¡Hola amigos y bienvenidos a mi blog!  Here I will share with you my adventures in Sevilla, Spain and surrounding cities and countries.  First I would like to share with you a poem by Federico García Lorca that has been stuck in my head for the past month...


Canción del jinete

Córdoba.
Lejana y sola.
Jaca negra, luna grande,
y aceitunas en mi alforja.
Aunque sepa los caminos
yo nunca llegaré a Córdoba.
Por el llano, por el viento,
jaca negra, luna roja.
La muerte me está mirando
desde las torres de Córdoba.
¡Ay qué camino tan largo!
¡Ay mi jaca valerosa!
¡Ay, que la muerte me espera,
antes de llegar a Córdoba!
Córdoba.
Lejana y sola.

I was forced to memorize this poem sophomore year of high school and ever since I found out that my program will be taking us to Córdoba, I have not been able to stop reciting it.

Anyways, this blog will hopefully serve as a way of keeping you all updated on all the bullfighting and flamenco dancing i will be doing along with all the fiestas y siestas.

More to come soon!
