My first day in Spain was amazing! I had a field trip for one of
my Marketing classes and let me tell you, there’s nothing like walking
down the street of the Los Ramblas and taking in all of the sights and
shops. From the architecture to the scenery and everything in between it
was so cool to look at. The second half of the day was spent visiting
two companies. The first one was Barcelona Turisme, which honestly was
pretty boring. We just sat in a conference room and listened to this guy
lecture.
But
the second place that we went to was called Starlab and it was awesome.
They specialize in Neuroscience and Space science and we got to get a
glimpse of their global marketing strategies. Having had no prior
knowledge of anything in the Sciencesphere that work that they do was
actually really interesting! And yes, that’s my professor with a neuron
headpiece on. The
next morning I flew out at 6:40am to the wonderful Balearic Islands
right off the coast of Spain. I spent the next three days here and it
was like a vacation within a vacation. Our hostel was right on the beach
and it was perfect.
We
spent hours there just relaxing and eating dinner. The next day was one
of the best days on this trip to date. There were about 75 other SAS
kiddos here and we chartered a groove cruise that came with a private dj
who played awesome discotheque music while showing us around to the
smaller islands.
We even went to this cove where we went swimming in clear blue water which felt amazing after being in the sun for hours. Afterwards, we took a much needed siesta only to wake up at 11:00 pm to go explore the city. One of my favorite DJs, Martin Solveig, so naturally I had to see him play. What no one told me was that he wasn’t coming on until 3 in the morning. You better believe I stayed up late to see him and he was worth every penny and every second.
Our last day there we spent at the beach again just relaxing until our flight. Speaking of our flight, it ended up getting delayed by 4 hours so we didn’t land back in Barcelona until 10:30 that night.
My last day there I got to visit the infamous La Sagrada Familia. This place was breathtaking. I’ve visited churches in every country that I’ve visited to and this is one of my favorites. And the craziest thing about it is that it’s not even finished!
All in all, my time here in Spain went by fast, but it was well worth it. I know for a fact that I have to come back because there’s so much to see and do here. 10/10 would recommend.
