Portugal: Lisbon and Porto

RaÃces: Classes and Life in Europe
Qué tal mi gente, Classes have been going well. I have a presentation soon, but I’m not worried about it whatsoever. It’s actually going to be fun.

RaÃces: AndalucÃa II
Málaga Málaga is a port city 100 miles (160 km) south of Córdoba, about a two-hour drive. It is a beautiful city with amazing views, great food (especially fish) and nice people like everywhere else I’ve been in Spain. It was definitely worth the visit. Granada Granada is 78 miles (126 km) northeast of Málaga, ...
