Spain: El Classico

Submitted by Joseph Hinton on the 2018 fall semester study abroad program in Granada, Spain…

This week was pretty normal, classic first exams prep in classes, homework, and papers. The weather is now starting to change with some of the leaves turning yellow or red and the temperature steady dropping. This weekend however was El Classico, the famed game between Real Madrid and Barcelona FC, the only one I will get to see in Spain this time around. So, me and some friends from the program all went to a Spanish bar called “soho” to watch the game. The atmosphere was great, but to my dismay, Madrid got taught a lesson losing 5-1 in the Camp Nou. This was not a good sign for me as  just this past week I bought tickets to see Madrid play, but hopefully they will have more luck in that game then they did against Barcelona.
