Málaga

Our very last trip was to the city of Málaga.  While in Málaga, we toured another palace, which, to be completely honest, I totally forget the name of.  Nevertheless, it was just as beautiful as all the other palaces and teeming with plant life.  Our tour guide even showed us where Antonio Banderas stays when in Málaga, though I managed to not get the building in one single picture apparently.

Nuestra última excursión fue a la ciudad de Málaga.  Cuando en Málaga hicimos un tour por otro palacio, lo que no me acuerdo el nombre.  Sin embargo era tan hermoso como todos otros palacios y era llena de naturaleza.  Nuestra guía nos mostró donde vive Antonio Banderas cuando él está en Málaga.  Y aparentemente yo no pude sacar una foto de este edificio.







Afterwards, we went to the Picasso Museum, where we weren't allowed to take any pictures, which was fine by me because I'm not really a Picasso fan.  Even so, the experience was interesting to say the least.  I think my favorite part was the courtyard with the statue of Picasso because of all the beautiful trees- more jacaranda trees and Persian silk trees, the latter being an invasive species in actuality, but a beautiful one at that.

Después fuimos al museo de Picasso y no pudimos sacar ninguna foto.  No me molestó porque no soy una fanática de Picasso.  Aun así la experiencia era muy interesante por decir lo menos.  Creo que mi parte favorita era la plaza con la estatua de Picasso porque habían muchos árboles hermosos- más jacarandas y mimosas, y el último es una especie invasiva, pero es muy bonita.






When we finished touring, we all went to the beach and got some much needed rest and relaxation.


Cuando terminamos de hacer tour fuimos a la playa y descansamos.

Flamenco Show

One night in Cordoba, we, along with students from Moravian College, attended a flamenco show.  I didn't remember my phone, so I don't have any pictures to share, but I'll try to describe the experience as best I can.  For starters, the dresses were gorgeous and the dancing was phenomenal.  Of course, there was singing and music as well, but they were almost unnecessary.  You didn't need to hear the words of the singer to understand the pain of the dancer.  All the dancers were so expressive that the pain was written on each of their faces and their dances told stories all on their own.  A flamenco show is a truly unique experience and I recommend that anyone who visits Spain go see one. Una noche en Córdoba, nuestro grupo y un grupo de estudiantes de Moravian asistimos a un espectáculo de flamenco.   Me olvide mi teléfono y por eso no tengo ninguna foto para poner en este blog pero tratare de describir la experiencia lo mejor que puedo.   Par...

Priego

As our trip began to come to a close, we traveled to the town of Priego and took a wonderful (and exhausting!) hike in the mountains.  Though the ascent was pretty rough, once the trail leveled out, the walk was quite easy.  Along the trail, we saw tons of different plants and even sampled some of them.  Asparagus, fennel, almonds- you name it, we saw it.  Fig and black chestnut trees abounded too.  Wildflowers were so abundant that the air smelled like perfume.  Of course, the view from where we were was fantastic too.  Cacti, a multitude of olive trees, eucalyptus, and aloe plants were also among the plants we saw. Cerca del término de nuestro viaje, fuimos a Priego e hicimos senderismo por la sierra.  Aunque la subida era muy difícil, la caminata era fácil cuando el camino niveló.  A lo largo del camino vimos montones de plantas diferentes y las probamos también.  La esparraguera, el hinojo, las almendras- vimos todo.  Las hig...
