Malaga day by day.

Day 8 of Malaga,

We are half way through our time here in Malaga, we have visited so many new places including Nerja caves and Frigiliana.

The trip was beautiful, enjoying the views that Andalusia has to offer. The tour guides and the trips have been amazing,

Today I have tried Spanish tapas for the first time with one of the local employees from my work placement. coming to a foreign country I must try there local food and to say it it was 10 out of 10.

For the duration of my placement here has been ups and downs the pros been that I have learned a lot about animals and the relationships with owners and pets. Education I have learned and witnessed live procedures, information about vaccinations for animals and learned about all the different equipment they use on day to day check ups from X ray machines to the weight scales.

Unfortunately with working with health care of animals there can be cons but we won’t let the negatives affect us to much for the short duration of been in my placement there has been a animal that did not fully recover to full health and has unfortunately passed away as things like this can happen it can put a cloud over our day but we still have to continue on and be professional.

This oncoming week will come with a positive attitude as should always be we live learn and take everything as it comes a new day a new experience.

I woke up today and went to work in the scooter repair shop. I have to take the train to work each day as its located in a business park just outside of Malaga. I help while fixing scooters and talk to other students from Italy, who are also doing work experience in the scooter repair shop.


when I finished work and had a good hike up a mountain I had seen from the city. It was very steep to get up but the view was worth it after hiking down, I ate food and went to the accommodation.

After we went to the beach for sunset. It was good craic and a nice way to end the day

Day 7

Got off to a slow start and got up at like 11:30 after having a late night prior. I got up and done all my washing and then a few of us when to this semi famous American style pancake shop. I was honestly underwhelmed and didn’t really enjoy them . We then went looking for a shop so that we could cook at home only to soon realise shops aren’t open of a Sunday so we couldn’t find a supermarket but we found a little store that done the job for us but we had a walk around the town too and stopped in to McDonald’s. When we got back to the accommodation a few of us went down stairs and just chilled out for a while . I went up and freshened up before we were making our meal . We thought chicken out the restraint for take away and were going to make chips to eat with but the chips wouldn’t cook so we had to go back to get take away chips too, we threw it all on the pan and put seasoning on it but it was almost cold having waited around for a while which was funny. We then wanted to watch a film and play uni but the cinema room was occupied so we just played uno before going to sleep to get ready for work Monday morning

Day 5

Started off with a coffee in the morning. Pretty basic day in work but I got to go to more pe classes today but they were participating in dance classes so I was limited to what I could do but they asked for my help to take photos and videos to which I obliged. After work we actually went on a boat trip out at ocean that was beautiful and got to see loads of dolphins swimming around which was cool . We had a really good evening we went for a lovely meal where I had a carbonara and we stayed in the towel for a while finished with a few games of uno to finish the day

Day 6

We started of early this morning meeting at 9 to head to nerja it was a roughly 1 hours bus journey that flew in . We first visited the caves which was really cool and interesting. We then got on. The bus to head to the first town nerja. We walked to the beach to where we all sat down and had a meal then followed by going to the beach for a swim. The water was freezing but so refreshing . It was sadly about time to meet back up for the bus home but we stopped off in another town called friglianna for 45 mins, while in this town I went on a train ride around the little town . We stopped at the top and got a little into the towns backstory in collecting water and having a water factory. The bus home was great craic as we had the speaker on and everyone was singing along. When we got home we just chilled out and then headed out for a meal and to a nightclub as we had no curfew. It was a really great night but a long late one

The weekend

On Saturday we went to nerja which was lovely. A group of us got in the water for awhile.

We also went to see the caves and they were amazing to see.

On Sunday we had a chill day because everyone was tired. A group of us got up early and went for some pancakes which were not the nicest. We then went back to the hotel and attempted to make a spice bag and that didn’t go to plan. We then went down to the cinema room and played uno for a bit and then went to bed.
