Weekending in Seville!

Hola Chicos,

Welcome back to another weekend in Seville. What a weekend I had. Throughout the week I had no major plans for the weekend was just going to spend sometime exploring different parts of Triana, and the Centre of Seville. But the weekend hit and different things arose. I swear every week and weekend there is something different going on in Seville.

Throughout the week I had my typical schedule of both school and work, which was good. My classes are going great as I am learning both about tourism businesses and improving my Spanish substantially. While at work the day is never the same, which is why I am really enjoying interning at Mueso del Baile Flamenco. Also early in the week I got to experience some very good local Spanish tapas with Stuart and Will, which was a good time. Then on Wednesday when I was walking home from class I got to see a parade/march take place for international women's day. This was cool to see all the women involved in the active. That is just a brief summary of a couple of things that took place during the week. But then the weekend hit, and even more things took place.

My Friday started off with a lovely conversation with my Tandem Buddy (language exchange). This was awesome as I finally got to meet her, and we just spent sometime getting to know each other. I was able to practice my Spanish and she was able to practice her English. I am so grateful that EUSA helped me find a student to have conversation that can help teach me Spanish. Being able to use this practice with be very beneficial in helping me improve at a faster rate. I also want to shoutout SAIIE because they help all there students find a language exchange as well, but this is typically done through the Universidad of Seville. After the conversation I had to attend my Spanish class, which is always fun but very challenging as it tests my knowledge everyday. I but am so grateful for Loli, because she is helping me so much with learning the language of Spanish. 

At the conclusion of class my weekend officially started. Most of Friday was spent shopping with another student. I absolutely love shopping, and am so happy I choose Seville because there are so many different types of stores I can shop at. There are literally different stores everywhere you look! To finish off my Friday, some friends of mine and I went of for some tapas and then enjoy the wonderful night life of Seville.


Saturday started off with some brunch as what might be my favorite breakfast place ever. The restaurant was called "La Mala Brunch Rivero." I mean look at the food below, it was literally SO GOOD. I WILL BE GOING BACK!


After brunch we walked around until we stumble across a humongous parade that was taking place in the Centre of Seville. What a beautiful parade it was. We spent around 2 hours watching the parade, where there was tones of dancing and music and people having the time of their lives. 





After the parade we all needed a short siesta, because it was finally sunny in Seville so we were drained from the sun. Then we again go some more tapas and then spent the rest of the night chilling at a rooftop bar with a good view of the city!


Like I said there is always something going on in the wonderful city of Seville!! I am bless!

Deuces

First time out of the United States

Buenas Trades (Good afternoon) This is Matthew Walter from UW-Platteville blogging for my first time ever. Not only is it my first time blogging but the topic I will be blogging about consist of my first time out of the United States. I have always knew I have wanted to travel the world but never really knew when or where I was going to travel. Well in September of 2022 I began the long but easy process of applying to Study Abroad. Looking through all the programs that Platteville offered the one that caught my eye was the SAIIE program in Seville (Sevilla), Spain. I was most interested in this program because of all the different things they offer from schooling to extracurricular activities. After months of filling out the UW-Platteville abroad application and emailing the directors of the SAIIE program, February 12th finally arrived and my life was about to change forever. I was about to go into the brand new environment of Spain without knowing any of the native language, Spanish,

Food in Espana

Hola Amigos,  FOOD! FOOD! and more FOOD! Yes, I am back with another blog focusing on some of the famous Spanish cuisine. I have been eating this food ever since I have arrived in Seville. Literally everyday I eat so much food and try so many different types of food I am impressed by how much I am able to eat. Coming from the states as an athlete in college I was use to having to eat a lot of food, but I was a very picky eater. I stuck to a pretty strict diet of chicken, rice, a couple of veggies and fruits, bagels, oatmeal, pasta, pizza, greek yogurt, and PB&J's. Now every once in a while I would switch somethings up but for the most part that was my diet throughout college. I was picky I did not like certain types of vegetables or fruits, I disliked fish, and didn't like eggs. I would say these three things are eaten a lot here in Spain, so I thought I was going to struggle to eat. But that was not the case, I absolutely love Spanish food and I eat so much of it. I am abl

First weekend in Seville

Hello, I'm back blogging for the second time about my first weekend in Seville. What an wonderful and exciting weekend it was. Over the weekend I got a do a variety of activities as well as meet a bunch of new people and practice my Spanish a little bit.  The weekend started on Friday, when I was introduce to my internship for the semester for the first time. One reason I wanted to participate in SAIIE and EUSA is because they give their students the opportunity for other opportunities other than just taking classes. I was given the opportunity to get an internship at Museo del Baile Flamenco, which I am very excited for as it will be a very new experience for me as I don't know anything about Flamenco or dance in general. On Friday, I was able to meet Museum team and get a tour of the whole Museum. The tour was awesome to see because I was able to learn a little history about Flamenco. After I finished at the Museum I then attended the SAIIE welcome lunch, where I was able to
