Costa del Sol

Last weekend I took a trip with my program to the beautiful mountains, Las Alpujarras & after we stopped at the beach! It was cloudy & rainy day in Las Alpujarras, so unfortunately I don’t have any pictures. But i spent a wonderful day cuddled up eating good food, reading books and enjoying the quaint mountain town that was filled with shops and bars. We spent the next day at the beach, where luckily it was sunny! It was a wonderful day and It made me miss San Diego! Here are some pictures of my friends and I soakin’ up the sun!

Sol, Cafe & Amigas

A sunny day in Granada filled with beautiful walks in parks, gelato, shopping, coffee & my wonderful friends. What more could a girl ask for?

Seville & Cordoba

This weekend I went on a group excursion with my program ISA to the cities of Seville and Cordoba. I loved them both! It was a blast to explore these amazing places and soak up the sunny warm weather. We spent two nights in Seville and saw the Palace and Cathedral, stuffed my face with my friends Jess and Caroline in the best little Italian restaurant, soaked in the city lights along the river, and walked around for hours. We spend Sunday in the windy streets of Cordoba, visiting La Mezquita (the biggest Mosque in the world) and admiring the pretty flower pots hanging off all the walls of the buildings. It was a wonderful weekend. I love the vibe that all of Andalusia has to offer.

Magical

I fall more in love with the city of Granada every day! I have come to the conclusion that Granada is my soul city. I spent this past weekend exploring, wandering and having all sorts of adventures with my friends. We soaked up the beautiful weather by laying in the sun, eating tapas and taking long walks through the windy cobble stone streets. The moroccan culture and the street art get me every time.

For those of you that have read ‘Eat Pray Love’, my friend Jess and I came up with Granada’s signature word today: Pleasure. The people of Granada truly just do whatever makes them happy. If they wanna take a nap, they nap. If they want to stay out til the sun comes up, why not? They really do know how to relax and let life be. They kiss in the streets, drink til their hearts are merry, and speak what’s on their mind. It’s beautiful.

Paris, France

Paris, My dream city. I got to cross this beautiful city off the top of my bucket list! I loved the chimneys, the colors, the Nutella crapes, and my company.  We spent many hours around the Eiffel Tower and the river, my favorite parts of paris. We also spent time wandering around the city, going to to Louvre, the Notre Dame, the Arc de Triumph and of course, Starbucks. The 6 days I spent in Paris will not easily be forgotten.
