In illustrating the spirit of his vibrant surroundings, Ernest Hemmingway once described the “mad, whirling carnival” he saw around him in Spain. As an American studying at Madrid’s IE Business School I will be documenting my experience with this blog, dedicated to that theme.


For friends and family, you can find frequent updates on my life and adventures by checking back here regularly. For anyone else, I hope you find my posts on business school and life in Spain interesting.

Pictures from day 2/3 Semana Santa - Sevilla & Cadiz


Beautiful Sevilla Cathedral was not quite what my very catholic Italian friend had desired from a religious experience. After being told to pay an entrance fee for the ability to pray he flipped out and demanded to see the bishop (whom he later visited at his office) and was finally kicked out. Way to stand up for your beliefs Vittorio :)



I was never able to get over these costumes. No good pictures of the processions, but you'd see hundreds together all silently walking through the narrrow streets in Sevilla.













Cadiz is believed to be the oldest city in Europe and was the embarking point for Christopher Columbus.











Maybe a strange addition to this blog, but I found this 'graffiti' in Cadiz to be quite beautiful and creative.
