Carlota's birthday: a yearly tradition

It's starting to become a tradition, visiting Carlota in Segovia during her birthday. Every year she invites us to go spend the weekend at her place in that tiny but beautiful city. And every time we go we have a wonderful time. We try to balance both the party time, which is quite extensive, and the cultural one as well. This time we visited the famous palace of 'La Granja', in the outskirts of the city. It was built in its times as a copy of the one in Versalles and even though it's not quite the same, I have to admit they made a great job. The gardens are awesome and specially its fountains. If you get the chance to go there, try to arrange it so that they are working, since they don't operate every day of the year, just in certain dates.




And well, spending the weekend with some of my closest friends is always amazing. We don't see each other that often because of different reasons so I always value some quality time with them. Hope this tradition doesn't die. As well as our UVM internationals' reunions. Those surely cannot end, so let's keep them alive guys!!!
