Costa del Sol: Malaga
Hey everyone! Towards the end of our time living in Spain, we were able to visit a good friend in Malaga. Liz was a coworker last year in Alcalá with us before she moved to Malaga to work at a school there. I had been to Malaga once before during study abroad, but it was […]
Feria de Abril
Hey everyone! Spring is quite possibly the best time of year to be in Sevilla. There are two big celebrations that happen during this time of year: the first being Semana Santa (Holy Week), and the next being Feria! We are a little behind on our blog posts but we wanted to share with you our […]

Ronda & Setenil

Sevilla City Guide
Sevilla is a great vacation destination! Since it is in the South of Spain, it is cheaper than large cities like Madrid and Barcelona. The weather is amazing almost all year (except for their super hot summers). It’s even close to other cities, like Ronda, Jerez, Cadiz (where you can find some beautiful beaches) and […]
