Thanks to my program, I have met some wonderful girls to explore and travel with me while I am here in Spain. We have been getting to know our region of Northern Spain first, and saving our money for Christmas break for the big league trips.
It has been a wonderful blessing to have met such great people to spend time with and I already feel so close to them.

Our first trip was a day trip to the Islands off the coast of Northern Spain,
las Islas Cies. The island was beautiful and it wasn't bad lying on the beach in October either.
Our next venture was to
A Coruña, the northern most tip of Spain and only a half hour train ride from Santiago de Compostela. We had our own personal tour guide around the city, our friend Enrique who was kind enough to show us the sights and of course, take our picture.
It turns out, A Coruña has the oldest functioning lighthouse in the world! I was excited to see it and impress my parents and my Aunt Randy. The climb was rough, but we got to the top.

Our latest adventure was to the city of
Oviedo, in the next province over,
Austurías. Austurías is famous for is apple cider wine, Sidra. The bartenders pour the wine into cups from high into the air to give the drink carbination. Woody Allen is very popular in Oviedo and it is where the movie Vicky Christina Barcelona was filmed!

I doubt you had to twist his arm. Enrique would be a fool not to be the tour guide for so many beautiful women!
ReplyDeleteI love reading your updates Becca! Sounds silly, but it is as though you are taking us there with you.
So glad you like it Clare Bear! I wish you all were here with me!
