The last stop in Andalucia – Sevilla
For Mert and Evelina the trip around Andalucía was over but I still had not had enough. This region is so different from Valencia. For me it was like being in another country suddenly. My last stop before going back to Alzira was Sevilla. I decided to visit Peter who is one of my ex-classmates from the high school. He is doing his Erasmus studies there and I have to say that it was a great decision to take this trip! After almost 6 months I felt like being “home” for a while

Granada and La Alhambra
After our mid-term training in Mollina we decided to travel a little bit more and to explore a few cities in the Andalucía region. Mert, Evelina and me took a few days off to discover the southern part of Spain. Our first stop was Granada, a touristic city with typical tapas and La Alhambra. We spent the whole weekend in this city with many other volunteers. In total we were 9. Even though we were a big group we managed to organize our trip very well. Firstly, we took a long
