Hello! I’m Reba Brownell. I’m currently on week twelve of my semester abroad experience in Sevilla. I do not feel ready to leave yet, so I am so thankful that...

Spain is extremely accessible to Europe and a very affordable country to travel in. So, while living abroad, it’s important to take advantage of this and travel! There are endless...

Excursion days would start very early in the morning. Too early, almost, but it was always worth it. I remember one excursion day in March, to Zahara de la Sierra...

To try and pin down what my most rewarding experience has been here in Spain would be difficult especially after only having passed the halfway point. Living in Sevilla and...

Welcome to Ronda, a little piece of heaven.  Our whole group took a bus to get there (about 2 hours away). We did a lot of walking around to see...
