Oh how the time is flying by. I cannot believe that it has been a month since I started my program with ISA in Madrid. I am going to be home before I know it. In this past month Sevilla has grown on me and I feel so much more at home in this wonderful city. It feels good to know where I am going (most of the time), know different little shortcuts, and start to have favorite little places to go to. My favorite place so far is the Barrio de Santa Cruz, it’s the old Jewish quarter of the city, super eclectic and rustic, with white buildings and wonderful food, I could get lost in there for hours.

Last weekend I went and saw a bullfight. It was the last one of the season, and all the matadors were super famous, hence, tickets were expensive. But it was totally worth it. Bullfighting is definitely something you have to see if you go to Spain. It’s all about the culture, and it is a huge part of their history!

A lot of people in our program had mixed feelings about it. I enjoyed being able to see the fight and learn a little more about Spanish history. Seeing the bull die didn’t really bother me, I don’t know if I’m just heartless or becoming a true Spaniard. Ha. But really, it was an amazing experience.

| Pretty intense. :) |
Today ISA took us on a day-trip excursion to Ronda. It was a beautiful city in the mountains. Very quaint and homey. I loved it. I went on a little hike under the bridge and got some great pictures.

I’m gonna make this one shorter because I am tired of writing such long entries. :)
Enjoy.
