I was always wondering why the program was held in Guardamar
out of all places in Spain. Why couldn’t it be held in a bigger city with more
well-known architecture? What were they going to make us do in a tiny beach
town? I guess there were way more things here than what I first imagined. On
top of the city there’s actually a castle (although in ruins), a pretty nice
and clean beach (unlike the one in Alicante), a sand dunes with an
archaeological site attached to it, and some really nice people (although they
all look at me strangely because I’m Asian).
Being able to get a meal everyday just by walking
downstairs, having a beach, supermarket and chino store just less than 10
minutes away by foot, and a bunch of café surrounding the Pension, I realized
how convenient this town really was and how much money we were actually saving
compared to living out in the big city.
One of the things I looked forward to the most in the
program were our two excursions, where we were able to go out and explore the
big cities and see what Spain was really like. Although it was enjoyable and
fun, nothing beats coming back home to the mellow city of Guardamar where I
could finally do my laundry and lie around doing nothing for an entire day. No
matter how much I loved going out to the cities, it’s still great to be able to
come back to a less intense environment and chill out for a bit.
