It was a great experience for us because the Spanish way of life is so
different from ours. For example, the prices are very cheap and politeness is
not the same as in France.
Our welcoming was very warm. In one week, we had a new family, new parents,
and new sisters or brothers.
Spanish people wanted to fatten us !!!! Because they offered us so much
delicious food like tortillas, churros or gaspacho.
They always cook with olive oil so food is so fatty at the end. Their
breakfast is very generous, it’s like a morning lunch ; in fact for Spanish
people it’s such an important meal : we had pieces of toast, tomatoes, olive
oil, serano ham, orange juice.
At night, everybody is in the street, because the weather is fresher so
it’s more pleasant.
This interresting trip has made European students closer from each other.
In the project, there were six countries, which spoke six different
languages .
We haven't progressed a lot in English but we have progressed more in
Spanish. On the first day, it was dificult to understand what Spanish students
were saying but on the last day we understood more because we knew each other
better and we no longer were afraid of speaking a foreign language.
For the first two days, everybody wanted to go back to France because we
weren't comfortable and we felt alone.
Day after day, we started feeling better and at the end we wanted to stay in
the Spanish families. On the last day, it was the hardest day, everybody was
crying, all the families and the students.
We practised lots of activities but those that we prefered were:
- A visit of the Alhambra with everybody
- The castle of Alcala La Real, because the
landscape was really beautiful
- The olive factory, because we could try the olive
oil. And it’s one of Spain’s most famous products
- Hiking in the Natural Subetica Park
- We cooked altogether to prepare « tortillas » and
fried chicken
- We practised some sport activities like frisbee
and hockey
- We went shopping in Malaga
- During our free time we could speak with a lot of
people to progress in Spanish.
Thanks to Europe we have lived a great and interesting experience. Allthe
students were Europeans, even if we had some different cultures we could speak,
have fun, laugh together.
We want to say « THANK YOU EUROPE » because without you we couldn’t have
lived this travel in the beautiful, and warming country of Spain .
