in spain, all i brought with me was a small carry-on, so i had to be very careful about what i purchased.  in madrid, i knew i wanted to get a pair of espadrilles from castaner.  this brand is hard to find in the states, which is a shame because it has such a great history.  these shoes are so well-made, and are extremely comfortable.

i also got a pair of flat, sparkly sandals and underwear from oysho.  because i, of all people, didn’t pack enough underwear.

i was lucky enough to spend an incredible 10 days in early july in spain with a good friend.  the main purpose of the trip was to go to the running of the bulls in pamplona, but we also made it to madrid, san sebastian, bilbao, and barcelona.  here are a few of the highlights:
