Carnaval de CĂĄdiz - Day 3
Saturday 9thFebruary Despite it being the first morning for a while that I had been able to have a proper lie in, I was unable to sleep past 10.30am, so feeling wide and awake I decided to do a couple of jobs around the house that I had been meaning to do. It was the...

In the week before Carnaval the four of us who live in the Plaza de Mina flat received an e-mail from Ana, our landlady asking if we wanted to have a âDespedida de Janaâ, she offered to make us all one of her paellas. We of course said yes! Who can turn down...

Carnaval de CĂĄdiz - Day 2
Friday 8thFebruary I had one final exam to sit at 9am on Friday, the first day of Carnaval where there were things on the timetable that we fancied going to see. Once the exam was over (despite it not going quite so well) I felt an instant sense of relief that I could...

Torre Tavira
I have now visited the tower twice in my time in CĂĄdiz, once with my father and brother, then again more recently with my friends here. Claire has always wanted to go up the tower but is afraid of heights so hadnât got around to doing it yet, but as she is leaving us...

Preparations for Carnaval
Whilst we were all busy stuck inside revising and sitting exams, the rest of CĂĄdiz was busy preparing for Carnaval. As the Christmas lights were taken down they were replaced with different ones that are more befitting for the Carnaval theme. There are some crazy...

Exams
So after the Geography exam that we had before Christmas we really werenât sure what to expect from the proper exam season. So we headed to exams with something else to be uncertain of, aside from the exam content. First things first, there is seemingly no standard...

Revision Tips
Could someone please offer me some? Once you return back from your Christmas holidays the main thing occupying your thoughts and classes will most likely be exams. Some classes may not even continue after Christmas, allowing you plenty of time to âreviseâ, the rest...

The internet is your friend.
One tool that has been very useful throughout my Erasmus Year is of course the internet, it can literally be used for everything from finding accommodation to finding out the latest Erasmus news. Before you start your year check to see if your university has an Erasmus...

Trip to BahĂa Sur
After passing it several times on the train we wondered if the large shopping centre that we had seen in San Fernando was worth a visit, from the train all we could see the massive Bahia Sur sign and McDonalds Drive Through. However after hearing rumours of a large...

Erasmus Cadiz 2013 / 2014 (English)
Hi, I never paid for the access to easypiso, I just used the free version and only contacted users who had paid. Getting a hostel before and looking for accomodation is usually a good choice but carnaval is 7th - 17th February so most hostels will not have space....

Planning Your Year
One of the things that I failed to do much last semester was plan how I would be spending my time, sure we made a bucket list of things to do, but in the end we failed to achieve many of them because we kept thinking to ourselves âwe have plenty of time to get that...

The way that I see it, you have four main options for how to spend a New Years Eve in England, be prepared to answer questions about and discuss what you will be doing for New Years Eve from the start of December. Most people seem to make a very big deal of their New...

Since arriving in CĂĄdiz, going to a local football match had been on our list of things to do, but somehow we had never got around to actually doing it. It was only mid way through the first semester when we actually found where the stadium was, this was after a...

Travelling back to CĂĄdiz after Christmas
It would seem that you really canât take us anywhere, especially on a plane, without there being some form of luggage drama, so we really should have been expecting it on our journey back to CĂĄdiz. Kath, Claire and I decided to meet in Birmingham as it was easy for...

La Tienda de VĂ©lez is the third restaurant owned by the VĂ©lez brothers in CĂĄdiz. It is handily located on the number one bus route, almost exactly opposite the Playa Victoria Hotel, so is very easy to find. However its location means that it of course doesnât have...
