One of my favorite parts of studying abroad this far has been all of the fun activities I have gotten the opportunity to participate in! My program plans two activities each week for us to take advantage of if we choose to do so. These activities range from active adventures to casual events. For this post, I will be sharing some of my favorite ways we have been having fun recently in Alicante!
Some of the events are considered intercultural which means students from Spain come to join us which is so awesome. One of the events that they joined us for was bowling, it was so fun! Some of the other activities have been more active like hiking or playing sports. We have gone on two big hikes here in Alicante for our activity time. Both include super pretty vistas at the top looking at the Mediterranean Sea. This has been a fun way to stay active and get to see our city from a new view! We also have played a lot of beach volleyball. Our group had so much fun being outside together and getting a little bit competitive.
We also got the awesome opportunity to go to a flamenco dance class! I was definitely pushed outside my comfort zone but it was so fun. We also completed an escape room in Spanish for one of our activities which was also super challenging but overall so cool. We have also visited multiple museums to learn more about Spanish culture and history. We went to a Spanish Civil War museum where we got the chance to go into real bunkers that were used during the war. We also went to an art museum where we got to see popular art pieces created by Alicante artists.
Overall, these activities are just a glimpse into all the fun things that we have gotten the opportunity to participate in. These events have helped me learn more about the culture, get to know new people, and have fun!
