Despite living and studying in Madrid (which is in the middle of Spain), I was able to see water, both the east and west coasts. The first picture (with me) is taken from Platja d’Aro, 100 km northwest of Barcelona and the second one is from Pontevedra, Galicia.
I ate out A LOT and had the most delicious food and tried new dishes like tapas, mussels and octopus. This picture is taken at a restaurant in downtown Madrid, with a view over the city.
Flamenco is a traditional form of dance and music, originated from Andalucia, Spain. One of my best experiences was going to a Flamenco show in Madrid.
Most of my time consisted of studying. I had only 15 hours of lessons per week, but there were many exams, projects and assignments that required work. I enjoyed the courses very much, especially International Taxation and Omnichannel distribution (retailing). I didn’t notice a big difference studying in Spain versus Finland. If something, the teachers in Spain were stricter gave more work.
Overall, I had a fun exchange with a good balance of study and leisure. From hot days in September to cold mornings in December I enjoyed my time and fell in love with Spain.
Hasta la próxima, España!
