Spain
Years after the peak of this great empire, Spain continues to conquer the heart of many a student traveler. With one flourish of a matador’s cape or flamenco dancer's dress in Sevilla, you'll be captivated. Don't fight it. Just go ahead and live out all those fantasies from The Sun Also Rises. Surrender to a table of tapas and paella, the Moorish architecture of Granada's Alhambra, Gaudí’s architectural oddities in Barcelona, the madness of Pamplona’s San Fermin festival, a slice of perfect San Sebastián beach in Basque Country, or the gothic cathedral in "holy Toledo." A few sangria-filled nights in Ibiza and you might feel like Picasso's Guernica, but it's probably worth it and likely what Papa Hemingway would have wanted.

When Chef Federico placed the large, purple octopus on the cutting board in front of me, I brandished my 12-inch knife like some sort of culinary Captain Nemo.
One of the most underrated cities in all of Europe, it is the heart of Spain and the lifeblood of a culture that has maintained its identity in our overly structured and sanitized modern world.
While tourists from every country filtered off the government-cut green lawns and in to the government-subsidized yellow buses, we had only been in Pisa for an hour, and we weren't about to leave.
It is one of those axioms of travel that spending time in places unfamiliar to you, with people unlike yourself, makes you more accepting of others, less hostile toward difference, more tolerant.
