Our trip to Spain

Last week we were in Benalup Casas-Viejas.
We have written our experience here.
We arrived on Saturday evening, well at night so there is not much to say about that day.

Sunday:
We went to see the beach. It was quite sunny but windy.
You could see to Africa from there!
We climbed up a sand dune and saw an amazing view.
From there we went to a place called Tarifa.
It was a seaside town near the beach.
There we ate pizza and took a little walk.
On the evening we went to the hotel Utopia in Benalup.
There we met the other students.
After that we went back to our homes to get some sleep.

Monday:
Monday was the first school day. We had some icebreaker games.
Their school day is a little different than ours. They only had one break at about 11 o'clock.
They also didn't have lunch in school and instead ate sandwiches.
One activity was also making jewelry out of old computer parts.
Us girls went horse riding in the evening. We got some very nice pictures from there.
They boys had played Fifa and other games.

Tuesday:
We went to a place called Jerez. It was about an hour's drive in a bus.
We visited a university campus that was part of four different campuses.
They told us about the university and the life in Cadiz.
We also talked to an app developer.
We asked these people some questions that we had done on Monday.
This information was used in the joint articles that we wrote on Wednesday.
On the afternoon we went shopping and returned home at about 5pm.
On the evening we hang out.
We danced and teatched some finnish words to the others.

Wednesday:
We visited the City Theatre and we presented our articles and the videos.
After that we had a break, and then started writing the joint articles.
The articles were about our visits to the university.
In the evening we went to an old town named Vejer.
It was probably the most beautiful place we visited.
We took a lot of pictures.
Back in Benalup, we also went to a cafe.
We tasted some very delicious Spanish desserts.

Thursday:
Thursday was our last day there.
In the morning we went to the Radio Benalup.
We were split into 2 different groups.
Both groups interviewed the radio presenter. He told us about his job.
Then we went back to the school and finished and presented the joint-articles.
After school we decorated the school gym for the bring a dish -evening.
From there we went to the countryside.
We ate some paella. (it was reaaally good)
Also we played some ball games until it was time to leave.
In the evening we went to the bring a dish -evening.
We ate food from all of the countries and saw some flamenco dancing.
We also sang and danced together and hugged and cried.
The worst thing was saying goodbye.

Friday:
We left at half past seven.
We were all quite tired and the car journey to the airport seemed to go fast by.
The whole day was only travelling.
We all felt sad to leave but also happy to go back home.
Even more so when we saw all the photos that the others took that day.


That was our trip! It was a great experience and we had a lot of fun.
We made new friends and also learned a lot.
Hopefully we will keep in touch with all the wonderful people.
Thank you!
