My first three weeks in Spain have been absolutely incredible and full of so many great experiences. The last time I was in Madrid I was 13 years old and was blindly following a tour guide around the city to see the most important sites, including the city of Toledo. This time around, I have…

Food in Spain
Explaining my Madrid experience so far would not be complete without including all of the incredible food in the city. Whether it is small, tasty tapas or a huge “comida” during the middle of the day, Madrid’s food never ceases to amaze me. My best experience has been at the “Mercado de San Antón,” a market…
Toledo
Buenos Dias, After spending just over two weeks in Spain, I have to say that Toledo is by far the most interesting place I’ve seen so far during my study abroad program here in Madrid, Spain. The city itself dates over 2000 years old and throughout that time the city was home to Christians, Jews,…
