Why would I be interested in visiting those places that Hemingway did? Is this some kind of a joke? Come on..

At first I thought just the same way. But on a second thought, I really liked Ernest's destinations and places! Sometimes nature and silence, but another day fiestas and parties! What would be a better combination?!

I have heard a lot of things about Hemingway, but I didn’t know that he was such a self-made traveler! It would be interesting to know more about the trips and places where he spent time.

I have always assumed that Hemingway was a bit of an adventurer. This sounds so much like him! This place in Spain could be something that I would be interested in, any volunteers to join me?? :)
