Two hours later, I awoke to catch a 10 am bus to Nerja, a beach about an hour south of Granada, with Summer, Lizz, and three boys from our program, Matt, Conner, and Pyper. The ride to the beach was one of the most beautiful car rides I have ever been on. We passed crystal clear blue beaches and bright white houses along the water. The city itself is small with tons of cafes, little shops, plazas and parks that come to a point at a large breathtaking overlook. We found a hostel and then spent the afternoon on a beach near the center of town. By this time it was late afternoon and the water was freezing! However, it felt so refreshing to take a dive in the Mediterranean Sea! On the sand, some boys were doing gymnastics and flipping tricks after jumping off of a buoy that they dug into the sand. It was really sweet and the boys took part in the fun while us girls laid in the sun. For dinner that night we went to a small tapas bar and then walked around for a little while. We were all exhausted after our first full week in Spain though, and headed to our hostel for a good nights sleep.
On Sunday morning, we woke up nice and early to head to the beach. We chose a more secluded area that was surrounded by rocks and small caves. Of course, we made the most of the scene and had a blast jumping off the cliffs into the water. After a long day at the beach, we had dinner and walked around a park before catching the bus back home. It was a very successful weekend!
