Erasmus Experience in Sevilla, Spain by Marko

Why did you choose to go to Sevilla, Spain?

I choose it because I like Spain and I heard that people in Sevilla are really living for football and I can say that I agree with that! Nobody from my university didn't choose it before so it was a little bit risky, but it was worth it!
