Traveling can be a great thing to do. However, as our experience in both airports coming to Spain have shown, it can be quite troublesome. As a gift from our program coordinators we were all given a free weekend that consists of four days. At first, this seemed like a great opportunity to have a lot of fun and hopefully not spend too much money. That was before I started trying to travel throughout Spain.

When I first thought of where I wanted to spend my time I considered Gibraltar. A very small location yet very close (2.5 hour ride) and much cheaper than other excursions. However, I soon found out thanks to my Profe Marta that there aren’t beaches there unless you want a rocky situation. This was the first of of many issues I would encounter in my pursuit of happiness, in España. Hopefully things will improve and I will be able to find my perfect beach.
