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 ...
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 ...

This morning, we got on a bus with the students from St-Laurent-du-Var and went to Gorges du Verdon, a lake and gorge about two and a half hours away from Nice. One of our teachers, Pauline, had grown up in Marseille, and she told us that she had spent her teenage summer at Gorges du Verdon with her friends. Apparently it was the popular ...
Today, we visited Gorges du Verdon, which is one of the most beautiful sights I’ve seen so far. The mountains are tall and picturesque, and the water is incredibly turquoise.
