Raíces: Museo Arqueológico Nacional
Qué tal mi gente, Wow, this week went by super fast. I have a ton of homework this weekend. Classes are starting to pick up speed after a few slow weeks. I enjoy all of my classes. They are all very interesting, different and, above all, challenging in their own regard, especially Advanced Spanish. It’s probably the ...
Raíces: Barcelona & El Pilar Festival
Qué tal amigos, I had a nice time at Barcelona this past weekend! The road trip itself was very long. Due to laws in Spain that prohibit a bus driver from driving for more than four hours, we had to make three stops each way, so the trip took eight hours on the road to get ...

Raíces: Palacio Real (Royal Palace)

Raíces: Universidad Antonio de Nebrija
Hola mi gente, I survived my first week of classes! I hadn’t talked much about Nebrija yet because I actually hadn’t started until this past Monday.

Raíces: Hala Madrid!
Hola todos, This is Steve Rodriguez coming to you straight from the historic capital city of Madrid, here in Spain! It has officially been a week since I got here.
