Calvià In Europe

¡Hola a todo el mundo! The very last Mallorca days are here! I have packed my belongings, printed my ticket (almost) and started to head my thoughts to the fact that I’m soon back home again. The last few weeks have been really hectic and full of adventures. We travelled across Spain from Valencia to Sevilla, continuing to Cadiz, with a quick stop in Málaga, a monkey business break at Gibraltar, a brief visit in Santander and last but not least, Bilbao. For a person with a museum background, the possibility of finally visiting Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao is magnificent! Now I can leave all my Guggenheim traumas behind. I have been there, I have seen it, and I’ve liked it. Besides the adventures, these few last weeks have also been full of goodbyes. I broke my heart while saying goodbye to my escoleta and to my group. I will remember every one of them and carry the memory of their laugh, energy and enthusiasm with me. There are no sticks, spoons, lego pieces or cardboard,...

¡ Hola, mi querida gente! This month flew as fast as one of several flights I took during this Spanish time. So, here I am at the end of March! Luckily, these days are very busy, so I have no possibility of thinking what will happen when I will leave and how I will feel later. But first, let's go a bit back in time to the last days. It has been a full month. In the elderly centre (and in Mallorca as well) spring has come in advance, so I helped making some decorations for the rooms to cheer up the people living there and bring a little bit of nature inside. That's why I was in charge of making lots and lots of birds... with the origami technique! I totally loved it.              Then the International Day of Women came. It has been interesting seeing how people strongly care about this day and how las mujeres are still fighting to give this festivity a meaning far from flowers or gifts to women. El día internacional ...

(10 de marzo) ¡Hola! ¡Acabo de volver de vacaciones! He decidido coger casi todos los días que me quedaban para hacer un pequeño viaje de dos semanas por la península y visitar a algun@s voluntari@s que conocí durante la evaluación intermedia en Mollina. He estado en Ferrol, Santander y Málaga, hospedado por l@s voluntari@s que trabajan ahí. Ha sido una gran ocasión para visitar amig@s, conocer gente nueva y ver cómo funcionan otros proyectos de voluntariado europeo. Cada uno se desarrolla de forma diferente y en cada grupo de voluntari@s hay dinámicas y actividades distintas. Me ha parecido genial formar parte de sus vidas durante algunos días y disfrutar de su compañía. Tod@s han sido súper agradables y acogedor@s: me han llevado por todos lados para visitar las ciudades, hemos hecho actividades en grupo, hemos tomado algo junt@s y ¡hemos salido de fiesta! Antes de irme de vacaciones conseguí acabar...
