Experience of a Lifetime

In May 2008, I had the opportunity to travel with a group of fellow language students on a UAB faculty-led study abroad trip to the city of Jaén in the province of Jaén, Spain.

While there, I had the opportunity to live with a host family and take classes at the Universidad de Jaén.

During our stay, we also had the opportunity to visit Cazorla, Granada, and Madrid. It was a truly enriching experience that has both shaped and enhanced my language skills and understanding of the Spanish culture.

This blog is an account of my experiences in Spain and is in no way affiliated with nor a representation of the experiences, thoughts, or opinions of the UAB Study Away office.

Around Jaén

This afternoon/evening we visited a local church and the old Jewish quarter (or what used to be the Jewish quarter) of the city. It was pretty. It was quite old and smelled very musty, but it is still in use. We were able to walk around in the pretty afternoon sunshine and air and take a look at things... the sunshine is much better than the rain we have had most days while here.
