Time to Get Rid of Stuff - Marci

10:04 0 Comments
I just had to sell my drone last week… because of its size, transport issues and the lack it was getting. At the same time, I helped my girlfriend move out of her Madrid room and that really made me think about the number of items I own, leading to this whole notion of whether we own stuff, or the stuff owns us....

Being Idle Is Killing Me – Marci

3:54 0 Comments
I’ve been doing a lot of hiking and more recently, trail running around Granada since I started my EVS here. This is literally the perfect place for activities like this, with a million options just outside the city and you don’t even need to take the bus or have a car for a lot of them. With trail running, I’ve...

Madrid Ain't That Bad - Marci

3:28 0 Comments
During my EVS, I've been to Madrid quite frequently and I have to say, I didn't become the greatest fan of the place. In fact I've kind of thought of it as the London of Spain... The similarities are pretty obvious: great cultural and arts scene, with fantastic museums and galleries, but it's a pain in the ass to get...

Voting in the EU Elections - Marci

7:57 0 Comments
Just a day after the EU elections, the results are starting to trickle in... In some countries, the results are very surprising, in some it was completely predictable. But that's not what I want to talk about here. After all, I am not trying to tell you who is right or wrong here, even though I have pretty strong opinions...

Almería Activities - Marci

3:07 0 Comments
Seems like the last month was full of instances that I went to the coast for some reason... Until April, I've only been to Malaga on the Andalusian coast and now I've suddenly added Almuñécar, Almería and Nerja as well, in about one month. I know, I know, that's not a terrible problem to have! But, the trip...

Día de la Cruz - Marci

9:39 0 Comments
On the 3rd of May in much of Spain they celebrate the “Día de la Cruz” (Day of the Cross), also called “Cruz de Mayo” (May Cross). It is especially important in Andalusia and Granada is very famous for it, being popular both with the locals and people travelling here just to see it. But what is it really about? It...

Almuñécar Trip - Marci

3:26 0 Comments
Contrary to what many people believe based on my Instagram feed, EVS is not all about travelling and exploring Spain – I spent a day or two a week doing something like that, and mostly just to places really close to Granada. But occasionally I do venture further, and this time we decided to go on a trip together...

Semana Santa in Granada - Marci

8:11 0 Comments
As with most festivities, what would be a one- or two-day affair in most countries, ends up a week-long fiesta in Spain. It is no different for Easter either, which is celebrated during Semana Santa, which can be translated into “Holy Week”. Every part of Spain has slightly different traditions for it, but you can...

Inventaciones is a multi-event project, which was developed to help social workers throughout Andalusia. The aim of the project is to help increase youth participation, and the international...
