Granada

Although not a large city, Granada is very beautiful. We found many good places to eat here and toured the Alhambra yesterday, which was amazing! It was a very large castle and fortress with beautiful gardens and views of the city. We were able to learn about the Alhambra using the audio tour guide. 

We watched the sunrise from the plane to Granada

Even the ground there was beautiful! 

Sevilla- home for the next 3 months!

Plaza de España

The Cathedral

Alcazar

I am so glad I was able to arrive to Sevilla 3 days early to get used to the city and explore with my boyfriend before my program started! I got to go to Plaza de Espana, the cathedral (to the top of the tower) and toured the Alcazar. Above are photos from Sevilla before my program began! 

Bienvenidos a Barcelona

We took a train from Madrid to Barcelona. The weather was much better here and although still cold, it did not rain, which was nice.

On our last night we went to a Barcelona soccer game which was so much fun! We toured the stadium the day before and we actually got to walk on the field, which was cool!

Many people dress their dogs in clothing here, like raincoats and sweaters. I think it is really adorable. I have also never seen dog clothes sold at an h&m before, but they sell them in Barcelona!

How the freshly squeezed orange juice is made. It is so delicious!
