A wonderful and very busy weekend, which kept the students and me quite busy (and away from the computer). Now, with a moment to breathe, I can tell you how we went to Ronda (in the province of Malaga) and saw a very intimate and lively flamenco performance. I can also tell you that we had an amazing tapas night, and got to try all sorts of local specialties like fried fish, tortilla de patatas, and tortillitas de camarones.
Ronda, the start of our fabulous weekend, is a mountain city famous for its vistas, its bull-ring (the oldest in Spain!), and the bandits that traditionally would hide in the vast valleys and mountain crevices. After visiting the bull-ring, everyone had a chance to explore the beautiful winding streets of bleached white houses inspiring views.
Today we finished classes (!) and tomorrow we have a relaxing day planned at Aqualand, the local water park. Wednesday everyone will have some free time to re-visit their favorite places, shop for gifts, and enjoy Cadiz for one last day. Wednesday night, we'll be going out for a delicious meal at a place that I wouldn't hesitate to call "fancy-pants," where we'll branch out and try some true gastronomic delights. And then, alas, on Thursday we must all say goodbye to Cadiz...some to head home and others to visit Cordoba and Sevilla.
It has truly been a pleasure to travel and live with all of these students over these last weeks. Please check back soon, as I'll be sure to update this page in our last days here.
Adios!
