... did that. With the group I usually get a little frustrated and wish that I was off on my own, especially if it is the first time that I´ve been somewhere. Anyhow, I walked down the road to a plaza and the first thing that I really noticed about Granada was all of the trees. They were so big and they weren´t palm trees. From that point on I knew that Granada was going to have a different feel than Malaga. It was also neat seeing a kiosk in the ...

... give it some time. In a nutshell, she suggested they put me in English classes and meet with the professors once a week to plan.<br><br>So, the meeting was over and I asked Fernando and Carmen if we could meet regarding planning the new schedule to ensure it was as compact as possible. Well they blew me off again and said that they were really busy right then, etc...<br><br>I arrived to school the following Tuesday and asked Fernando if there was a time ...

... water called El Camino del Rey (see photos). We just saw it from far away, but there were people walking on it and it was a really windy day! Apparently, a few people fall off of it every year L Have some common sense people! The rock climbing in the area is supposed to be fabulous too! Maybe it is another hobby to take up? After stopping to check out El Chorro we made our way to Granada.<br><br>It was a lot colder in Granada than in Málaga. It has not ...

J'arrive à la montagne, dans les Alpujarras, après plusieurs heures de vélo et aussi un peu de bus: Je suis accueillie au village par Jordi, fermier bio espagnol. Nous avons convenus que je resterais une semaine avec eux et qu'on verrait par la suite: Grande tranquillité dans cet endroit. Je fais la connaissance de sa femme, Lore, suisse-allemande de Zurich et de leurs 2 enfants, un garçon de 10 ans, Rama, et une fille de 8 ans, Tara ...

... them. I feel quite a bit of guilt about not meeting them again while they were in Spain. I hope that they weren't too hurt by that and didn't take it personally. I did really want to see them again and I cannot quite explain my actions to the contrary. I just got in this funk concerning my future in Barcelona and couldn't organize to move. Time flew by and you were gone. In the beginning, I had planned to travel with you everywhere, but backed down on those plans ...

... in the main palaces. What amazed me, was not only the volume of space covered in the exquisite patterned plaster, but also the variation in designs. It wasn't the case that the walls were covered in one or two repeating motifs, but each space had original designs. Breathtaking were the star-shape carved domed ceilings in the Abencerrajes and Dos Hermanas(two sisters) rooms off the lion plaza (the lion fountain closed for renovations, unfortunately). If you ...

... man's clients. The man pretended to throw the ball out of the window and the kid ran after it and then the client asked for the ball and said he would "make it worth his while", but he didn't give it to him like the girl hadn't given him the journal because he said it meant a lot to the little boy. Pretty weird, but very funny! Saturday morning, Lauren and I went to the Parque de Las Ciencias aka the science museum. It was soooo neat, although the ...

... cathedral. All that remains of the former mosque is the famed minaret La Giralda. The Barrio de Santa Cruz is a neighborhood of winding alleys, flower pots, wrought-iron (gates , fountained courtyards and excellent art galleries. The Plaza de España is next to Parque de María Luisa. The plaza is checkered with terracota tile." (program director). Sevilla is the largest and probably my favorite of the three we visited. The city was really ...

... het Alhambra. We zijn daar dan ook gebleven totdat de avond viel en de lichten werden aangestoken, wat helemaal om te smelten was! Toen we terug naar beneden gingen, want al de vorige dingen waren bergop gelegen, kwamen we een gezellig arabisch winkelstraatje tegen met de plaatselijke Teterias. Dit is niet wat u denkt! Dit zijn arabische koffie/thee huisjes waar ge waterpijpen kunt absorberen :-) Spijtig genoeg zaten ze allemaal vol en hebben we deze ...

It´s hard to believe that I´ve already done two weeks of lessons already - the time has gone really quickly. I´ve learnt heaps, but still need to work on my spoken Spanish - most of the time when I´m not in class, I´m speaking to other students and we generally converse in English...I know that´s not the point of being here, but it does make things easier. Anyway, here´s the rundown of ...
