Snowy adventure

Submitted by Riley McAvinue on the 2024 Winter SPAN program in Granada, Spain

Hola desde Granada!

Week 2 was as memorable as the first! As I mentioned in my first weeks review, my study abroad has been fueled by adventure. That didn’t change one bit during this week.

Attached is me skiing in the Sierra Nevada. This is home to the highest point on the entire Iberian peninsula. We were approximately 7000ft above sea level. I had a lot of fun carving down the slopes. The runs at Sierra Nevada were a lot different from the ones I am used to on the east coast. The snow was fluffy and the routes took anywhere between 10-15 minutes to fully ski down the mountain! 

Heading into my final full week here in Granada I hope to find another adventure. We have a trip scheduled to Cordoba and Sevilla. I am excited to see what treasures these cities hold. Until next time, adios! (Submitted on January 23, 2024)
