Category: Spain: Verano Espanol

Hola from Madrid! I have experienced and visited a variety of wonderful places already in my short time here. Madrid, with its central location, makes traveling around Spain by train quick and easy. Each place offers unique sightseeing attractions. One of my favorite trips so far was visiting Valencia with a small group of friends…

There were a lot of people that told me that Valencia was “eh” but I thought is a one of if not the best city I visited in Spain. First they had the beach, history, old structures and very modern structures, science center, largest aquarium in Europe, a zoo and a insanely long but very…

A couple weeks ago, our group took a trip to Candelario, a small village about 3 hours west of Madrid. Candelario itself is a beautiful little town with so much history and beauty. We also took a trip to a nearby town called Granadilla. Granadilla was abandoned about 50 years ago because the locals believed that…

For my last official weekend in Spain, I decided to treat myself to a weekend away in Valencia. After five weeks of this program I noticed I had surrounded myself with only Americans so much so that I began speaking to local madrileños in english without even realizing it.

Hola! Last weekend I had the opportunity to visit the beautiful city of Segovia for the second time during this trip. The first time I was able to see the Roman aqueduct of Segovia and the Alcazar of Segovia, which was Walt Disney’s inspiration for Cinderella’s castle at Disneyland. This time I got to experience…

Hola from Madrid one last time! This second half of our trip has been just as amazing as the first, and I truly cannot believe that our time here is coming to an end. Madrid has become a second home for me, and the memories and relationships that I have gained will last me a…

Hola Chicos! I cannot believe our program is already coming to an end. It seemed to have flown by so quickly. I decided to write my last post about our class trip to Candelario. The city was absolutely beautiful and the people were so accommodating. It was by far one of my favorite parts about this…
