Hola!

This weekend has been such an exciting and busy weekend! On Saturday we managed to do a day trip to Tangier in Morocco which was a brilliant experience. I have never been to Africa before so I am glad I was able to do this trip. We did a walking tour of the town around all the narrow Arabian style streets and then stopped for a traditional Moroccan lunch. The restaurant was so beautiful with intricate tilled walls and there was a live band playing Moroccan music with a dancer. Afterwards, we were taken to a few different shops where we could buy souvenirs and other bits and bobs. We also went to a pharmacy which sold Moroccan herbs and other things like Moroccan oil. The owners of the shops here are quite pushy so you really have to stand your ground and we were told to stay with the group and watch our bags.We also went to see some caves and to view points along the coast to see all of the gorgeous beaches before returning to the ferry home.

On Sunday, we went to visit Granada which was such a lovely city. I think this is one of my favourite places now, I really enjoyed the day here and wish we could have had more time here! We walked up to Alhambra but unfortunately we did not have tickets to go inside - the ground around it were nice despite this and we took a lot of pictures with the striking views.

After Alhambra, we looked around the shops, this again is very Arabic and there are many narrow winding streets. We all bought souvenirs as there were many nice shops here. The streets and buildings in Granada are so beautiful - I took a lot of pictures this day! Later on we stopped for tapas before getting the bus home. 

Today we were back at school, we were quite tired but nonetheless enjoyed it. After class we went to the beach and managed to catch a bit of sun before the clouds rolled in. I can't believe it but the forecast for this week is not good!

Fingers crossed for some sunshine!!
