Semana Blanca

Next week we have off from work due to Semana Blanca. Semana Blanca is celebrated in Andalucia to compensate for the vacation days that other provinces have throughout the year due to their feria, but since feria week is celebrated during the summer, in Málaga for example, we get a week off in February! Interesting policy, but no complaints here. This week is always at the end of February and sometimes coincides with February 28"El Día de Andalucía."

Friday at 1am my friends and I are taking the overnight bus to Madrid.
Friday at 10am we fly out of Madrid to Lisbon.
We will stay in Lisbon until Monday and then take a train to Porto.
Wednesday we will fly back to Madrid and I will remain there until Sunday to celebrate Rachaels birthday.
I'm so excited!
