Passion, Spain / 熱情‧西班牙

暑假要接近尾聲了，我的夏日旅行七月就告一段落，身邊的旅者也都從遙遠的國度歸來，Patty卻問我，接下來要去哪裡？因為暫時哪也不去，選擇反而多了起來，剛讀完北歐的書籍，又去了安徒生展，感覺去了一趟北國。跨越空間的限制之後，時間也不再是阻撓，於是我回想去年夏天的西班牙旅行，重新看過旅途中和之後的記錄，彷彿又回到當下。

Summer break is drawing to an end. My summer trip was over a long time ago, and travelers around me have all returned from long journeys to remote countries. Patty asked me, “Where will you go for next trip?” Though I don’t have any plan for the coming year, still, I can travel in more creative forms. For example, I just finished a book on North Europe and came back from an exhibition on Hans Christian Andersen. I wasn’t in that part of the world physically, but “my visit” couldn’t feel more real. After I conquered the spatial boundaries, time no longer posed any obstacle for me. I look back on my trip to Spain last year. When I read the past record, I am immediately transported to those wonderful moments.

儘管有些友人已經看過這一系列的作品，但是我想一定還有想要散心、卻暫時走不開的人，不如現在就放下手邊的工作，進行一趟十分鐘的旅行！

I shared this series with some friends back in April, but there must be those who’d like to get away but can’t afford the luxury for the time being. Why don’t you put aside your work and go on a ten-minute trip?

My travel route: Barcelona to Valencia to Granada to Ronda to Sevilla to Cordoba to Madrid
