SPAIN - LA CORUNA

CATEGORIES: HITCHHIKE - DAYTRIPS - LA CORUNA - RAZSURFCAMP - SPAIN

Everything starts with a breakfast with my protuguese friend in duas de letra. After explaining my goals of this adventure, I'm standing alone, kind of frustrated, at a petrol station near the highway for almost four hours. Around 50 different people - no one at all driving in direction of Spain. I decided to go home after the next 10 min will have passed, but then a dude finally said, that he's going to Vigo. So I arrived there, it's already dark and it's complicated to hitchhike further. I decided to take the fast train to LaCoruna, instead of wasting time. Hitchhiking to LaCoruna with ending in a weird, but really awesome laser tag event, was a beautiful experience. But what follows is not even similar to the things what happened so far.

The main goal why I spontaneously decided to go there is the fact to go back to the place where everything started. The PRAIA DE RAZO. Five years from now I made a similar trip to the place where I learned to stand on a surfboard. I had been on my own. This time I was in a car: a Italiana, uma Espanha e one German. It's an incredible feeling when you realize the moment of mixing reality with nostalgic memories. I was happy that I made it.

Furthermore that night of the same day, I went to meet with friends of friends at a bar where the barkeepers spend everything for me. Beers and Liquor coffee were for free this night. An really alternative and not restricted bar-scene, almost no tourism and few Erasmus people make LaCoruna charming. Despite finding money in the streets the luck was like a never ending story. Because when I left the bar and walked home, I saw four girls walking in the same direction on the other side of the street. Because I didn't knew anyone in town and no place to go I asked the girls, where they are going. I wasn't ready to go home yet. So I ended with five of the most beautiful girls of the city in the same gay club (PUTICLÚ) I've been five years before. The same letters in all the LGBT-colors at the end of the bar were still there. The "masturbate" sign in front of the bathrooms I also remembered.

And the next big thing I really have to recommend to you is LUGO with a very socialism-friendly and sharing community you might mainly find at the river, and oldcity surrounded by a wall (Trump's ideal of america) and tapas restaurant, which serve tapas already when you order a beer. Beside that, 25°C in middle of february feel also quite nice.

So summarizing the trip I decided to do alone, I achieved more things I had expected:

Challange accomplished.

Making my way from Porto to LaCoruna in 12 hours, somehow.

Arriving at the Razsurfcamp, where my surf career started five years ago.

Eating an italian homemade pizza what is one of the most adorable things in the world.

Ending a night out alone with five girls in a gay club called Puticlú.

Enjoying 25°C in Lugo, in the countryside of Spain.

Facing two days the spanish sun - sunburn in february.
