This is the telling of a normal day in Granada…. Estaba bien!

The school is in the centre of the city and we meet every morning at 08:40 for our individual lesson (only Kasper and I). Estela is our teacher , she is a muy bonita chica and she teaches in grammar. After one hour four other people join the class and we quickly go through what we have learned and continues with the plan until lunch time.
The four other people are; Jutta, Diana and Jonas from Germany and Kari from China. After the gramma lessons Kasper and I goes out for uno bocadillo (a sandwich) at a nearby cafeteria. At 12:30 we start the next lesson where only Jonas, Kari, Kasper and I participates. The goal with this lesson is to expand our vocabulary and we talk about anything from our individual countries to the culture in Granada. This is usually more relaxing than the grammar lesson but it is important as both Kasper and I feel we are in lack of words. The other students are at the same level as me, Jakobo, or better and Kasper is hanging on tight. Today Kasper had his first individual lesson from 14:00 - 15:00 and it is surely going in the right direction.
At 14:00 or 15:00 Granada city slows down as the temperature reaches 40 degrees Celsius. The concept of having siesta has reached a new level for me. 40 degrees is very, very hot and at that time all shops close down and people are coming home from work for a few hours. The Spanish people eat lunch at around 15:00 and don’t go out until the temperature drops. At app. 18:00 the city starts awakening again and the shops are usually open until 21:00 o 22:00. Most bars and cafés are open all day and the activity is at its highest around 21:00. At this time the climate is durable and people are off from work. An important fact about Granada is that it is a university city which means there are a lot of young people here. For those of you who knows the “Erasmus delegation” this is a very attractive destination for exchange students participating in this programme. Thus, you can imagine how much partying this city encompasses. This we must explore in the forthcoming weekend….
