Sagunt

Día de los Reyes Magos Sadly in Sagunto the cabalgata was canceled because of the rain. Normally the Reyes Magos would also have arrived in a boat at the port. They still did the “meeting” with the 3 kings, but it was inside in a theatre where 5 rounds of families coming in and out

At my baking workshop, we began with the christmas baking. We made christmas cookies, the ones I normally do for christmas at home every year, and gingerbread houses. The children were very creative! At the beach promenade in Puerto de Sagunto, the palm trees were decorated with christmas lights, which was very nice and first

December was by far the fullest and most fulfilling month of my volunteering journey until now. I decided that instead of going back home for the festivities I’d stay here and have an authentic Spanish experience of this special time of the year. At Casal Jove we didn’t stop working, in fact the workload was

As soon as we took down the Halloween decorations at Casal Jove we began preparing for the Splash. This festival is one of the biggest and most significant events organised by the youth center, while also being one of the most relevant comic festivals in the Valencian Community. The groundwork for it spaces from designing

November went by in a blink but as I am looking back at it, a lot happend! My workshop started, I had my on-arrival training and the big event of november, the Splash, took place at my work. At the casal jove I was able to organise my own workshop. With ten children we are

I can’t believe it’s already been nearly two months I have been here! It was already a super nice time that has passed. There were my first days at the casal jove, discovering Puerto de Sagunto and a little bit of Valencia, the first big event of casal jove: halloween. I didn’t know that halloween

As I sit here trying to reminisce about my first month here in Sagunto, I’m overwhelmed by the realisation that thirty days went by so quickly, but simultaneously my first day here seems so long ago. Where should I start? When I applied for this project I was yearning for an opportunity to change some

June was a really full month. I did so much things. First, I went to Madrid with my aunts, I really enjoyed the life there. Madrid is a colorful town. We walked a lot to see the royal palace, the egyptian temple, parks, street art, plaza mayor etc etc… I like Madrid but I think

This month was particular. At the beggining a friend of France came. She opened the «visiters area» like she was almost the first person to come see my life there in Spain. I said almost because my sisters came at New year, but it was really quick, only 2 days. So with Anaya, we visited

It’s hard to believe how quickly time has passed. Now I’m already back in Vienna, writing this blog post and looking back on the past nine months I spent in Spain – which truly was one of the best experiences of my life. This last month flew by so fast. There was so much going

In April I finally saw my parents again. We did a lot of hiking in Valencia and even spent a few days in Madrid. It’s such a beautiful city with so many amazing places to explore. Before Easter there were many parades with people wearing cloaks and pointed hoods, which was really interesting to watch.

Helloo, this month was so full of trips! I went to Leon, at the beginning of april to see Nuria who is a volunteer there, I met her at the arrival training. Leon is a great town, really beautiful and it was so nice to see a little bit of what the North of Spain

The past few weeks have been full of exciting and new experiences. My friends and I went many times to Valencia to experience “Las Fallas” – it was absolutely wild! We saw so many different figures and sculptures, each one more spectacular than the last. The whole atmosphere was incredible. Later, I went to “La

This month, I had the opportunity to participate in the midterm training in Mollina, near Malaga. The one-week event was extremely intense but also very enriching. It was a time full of new encounters, deep reflections, and inspiring learning opportunities. During the training, I met many interesting people from different countries and backgrounds. The exchange

It’s been a long time that I did’nt wrote here. Well, in december I did the experience of Christmas far from home, I hate it ahah. I wanted to be with my family all the time and it was really really difficult to be far from them. But I think it’s an experience to live.

In January, after a long time, I finally got to see my family again. I flew to Costa Rica for two weeks to visit my sister and it was a wonderful time. I saw so many animals and truly enjoyed being with my family again. Even though saying goodbye was a bit difficult, I quickly

I had a magical time in Valencia at Christmas. On December 4th, the city came alive when all the Christmas lights were switched on at once. It was a breathtaking sight and the streets were filled with people enjoying the festive atmosphere. I’ve always loved Christmas, and this year was no exception. I visited lots

This month was packed with exciting experiences. My arrival training took place online, but I was fortunate to travel to Alicante with another volunteer, Simona. This gave us the chance to explore the beauty of the city together, making the experience truly special and gave me also the opportunity to see a friend who also
