Upon arriving to BA, after an easy flight - if a bit long... we were dropped off close to our hostel but not in front of the hostel due to some sort of protest on the streets. There were hundreds of people with banners and flags shouting chants (which we didn´t quite understand) - but we were told it was groups representing different political parties and they do this every year since the collapse of the economy. It was a pretty hectic experience to come right into- but had its benefits as huge boulevards were blocked off from the cars and we could walk right along the middle of those streets!
Our hostel turned out to be pretty cool (I was a bit worried about throwing mom right into the hostelling world!) - A beautiful old building with huge ceilings and a courtyard, sometimes not the quietest place with BA party animals coming in at 6am and vomiting or screaming right outside your door... but the bathroom was beautiful!
