Off to Gibraltar!

We had a very exciting first full weekend in Spain! Or should I say in the UK, as we left the country on Saturday to visit Gibraltar, the British overseas territory situated next to Spain. Gibraltar is a very eccentric, funny little place. Amongst the blue waters, palm trees, and fierce Spanish sun, sits a unique city where the shops are not ...

Bolonia, Vejer, and the Marketplace

I cannot believe that we have almost been in Spain for an entire week. The days fly by here and I wish there was a way to freeze time so our days in Cádiz never have to end. Thursday was an interesting day! It started off great; we left for Bolonia and drove through a scenic route of the Spanish countryside. When we arrived we first visited ...

Tuscan Cuisine & Fashion!

Over the course of these last two days, we've experienced our classes with Abbey Road! Classes range from fashion to Tuscan cuisine and all exhibit authentic Italian lifestyles in many ways. For example, examining the fashion styles in the fashion district of Florence. We've also enjoyed some delicious catered meals by which we can all come ...

Adjusted to the Daily Routine

Over the past couple of days, I've fully adjusted to the daily routine here in Cádiz. As a group, we have been trying as much Spanish food as we can eat. One of my favorites is la Tortilla Española, a quiche-like dish made up of potatoes and eggs. Another is "pescaito frito," generally fried squid-like calamari. Something that I did not ...

Exploring Cádiz

I want to tell you about my experience in Abbey Road's Cádiz program. These past several days have been incredible and we've had ample time to explore and get to know the wonderful city of Cádiz. Even though it's only my 4th day here, I feel as though I can comfortably navigate myself around the city. It's not very difficult, because if you ...

Life in Cádiz is Quite Laid Back

I arrived in Cádiz Sunday (7/3/16).  The weather is warm and dry, similar to the Southwestern United States.  My host family, los Campuzanos, is very nice.   Life in Cádiz is quite laid back, especially in the afternoon when most ciudadanos are having a siesta, or period of rest during the heat of the day. During this time, most shops ...

After a very long day of traveling, I am happy to report that the entire group has safely made it to Cádiz.

La palabra “ultima”

Last blog post. Last Monday. Last full day. Last everything. I can’t even believe the time has come to say goodbye to this beautiful city and the amazing friends I have made over the past three weeks. Tomorrow morning I will get on a train to Siguenza and bid Cadiz adieu as I go on to new adventures. As sad as it was to say goodbye, I could ...

Como hacer surf

Friday, July 17, 2015 From Day 1, I have been saying that one of the things I wanted to do more than anything else is to learn how to surf. Yesterday, that dream came true. We took a 30-minute bus ride into New Cadiz, put on matching neon yellow surf school shirts, grabbed our surfboards and headed towards the beach and the fulfillment of one ...
