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 ...

Adios New York y Hola Barcelona!

After two hours into the flight, it had finally sunk in that those of us flying from JFK had officially begun our Summer 2016 journey with Abbey Road. Looking around the airplane I noticed my 26 fellow travelers dispersed throughout the aircraft. Though I'd only known them for less than five hours, I already knew that everyone was ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Dali, Figueres and Girona

This weekend was very fun! On Saturday we went to Figueres, home to the well known Salvador Dali Museum, also where Dali was born. It was a very cool museum and we got to walk around and take pictures of all of the intriguing and interesting artwork. After that, we went to a beautiful beach in Figures. We had about two hours there, where we ...

Visiting Miro Museum

On Thursday we had class in the morning which was so much fun!! We went to the beach and had time to soak in the sun and go into the refreshing water. While we were at the beach we learned and practiced saying different parts of the body in Spanish; a preface to a yoga class conducted later on. That afternoon we went to the Miro Museum. The ...
