Another Week, Malaga and Ronda

After sleeping for the rest of Sunday once I returned from Barcelona, I began my classes the next day. On Mondays and Wednesday from 10:30 to 12:30 I have Spanish Oral and Writing and then on Tuesdays and Thursdays I have Spanish Grammar from 8:30 to 10:30, Spanish History from 4:00-6:00 and Arab World and the West from 6:00 to 8:00. On Fridays, we switch off between Mon/Wed classes, Tues/Thurs classes, and a day off.

















So that monday I went to class and after went on a walking tour with the DU friends that I had seen in Barcelona who were now staying in Granada. It was a great tour of talented graffiti throughout the city as well as the underground caves that people actually live in. We were able to go inside one that belongs to Santana's cousin and is fully furnished. The owner had traveled all over the world and began a program in India to raise money for the underprivileged children living there. He showed us pictures of his adventures and invited us back to talk more or have a mediation time in the future. It was very interesting. That night, Summer and I spent more time with those boys and another guy from DU who is studying abroad with us in Granada.


Tuesday was filled with more classes and that night we went out to a tapas bar and then a small club because we didn't have class on Wednesday.
That meant that Wednesday was a lazy day and Thursday and Friday just called for some low key tapa bar hopping. It has been fun getting to now where the best tapas are!







Saturday morning we took an excursion with our program to Ronda, a city about 2 hours away from Granada. It was a cute town that hosts a lot of history and beautiful scenery. After a tour of the city, we drove another hour to Malaga and enjoyed a night at a local club. On Sunday, we toured this second city and saw a large cathedral and a beautiful beach. It was a fun, FREE vacation in a nice hotel with complimentary breakfast buffet. Can't really complain about that.
