Last weekend in Ireland ⛰🏖🍦

 My last weekend ir Ireland was very cool! I did loads of great things and visited amazing places that I´m gonna tell you now.

I started my Saturday very relaxed. I didn´t really do anything until after the great brunch that Trisha  (Ruairí's mum) had prepared for us. In that evening, Ruairí's dad (Robert), Ruairí and went on a trip. We went visiting Mitchelstown Caves, in Cork. Before we entered into the caves, we could see beautiful views of the Galtees (which are actually some huge mountains). We enjoyed a lot the guide visit that we had in the caves, and we also learnt a lot of things. (A funny fact is that, in the caves, some of the rocks and structures had either animal or different objects shape, such as an elephant, a pizza oven, or even a giant swan!). After that, we came back to Limerick too see the pretty town of Cahir. We had a drink in a very good café, visited the castle of the town and walked around it‘s big park, which had funny elements where you could pose for great photos 😊. It was very relaxing and really interesting! So, when we finished, we returned home for having dinner and chill. 

On Sunday, we went with Rauirí’s parents to Clare. In that other county that we visited, we explored a lot of cool spots that I couldn’t miss. We saw the Burren, which is a big area with loads of rocks and a historical strucuture called Poulnabrone Dolmen. (In the way there, we stopped and saw one of the mst famous castles of Ireland: the Bunratty castle.) The next thing that we did was walking along a cool beach in (Doolin) with loads of rocks too. The landscape there was incredible. We kept going with our trip, and we headed towards the Cliffs of Moher. The family told me that this was the most atractive sight in all Ireland. And it was one of the best nature experiences in my hole life. Really, I enjoyed so much al the views in the cliffs. They were just fantastic! We also so a "4D experince" video before starting our walk around the place. After that, we had a new destination: the Lahinch Beach. There, we had such an incredible dinner in a cool "vintage" restaurant. I tried some spicy chicken wings that were some nice, and the famous fish and chips. Oh, it was so good! Our last activity of the day was having a tasty ice cream (mine was of sea salt flavour) and going for another walk, this time, along that other beach. When that was done, in the way home we stopped and contemplated a little ancent tower that was 5 minutes away of Ruairí's home. Actually, we always see it while we are in the car on the way to school every day. So, after all that, we finally came back home and rested. 

And that's how my last weekend in Ireland finished. It was one of thebest weekends I´ve ever had 😃! Next time, I´ll tell you more things about the following days here. Until then, thanks for reading, and see you soon!

Arrival and first feelings of IRELAND 🇮🇪☘️🌈

Imagen
On September 12th, 2025, eleven spanish Erasmus students arrived in Cork´s airport for starting a unique experience: our great trip to Ireland. The first thing we saw in the airport was our Irish mates with welcome banners! After that, we met our respective hosts, and we set off towards their school. We played and got to know during  the way there, and my Irish partner, Ruairí, explained me loads of things of Ireland. When the bus arrived in Scoil Pól (this was the name of the school), Ruairí's parents picked us up, and drove us to their house, were we rested after that long day. (I had to take two buses and a plane from my city, Logroño.) My first feelings were that we were all going to be very comfortable in the different houses of our Irish families, because all ther students were very kind with us from the firts moment. I also had the feeling that we all have itegrated ourselves very well. And, by the way, that´s how it has been. During the rest of the weekend, we did a couple ...

Now it’s school time 🏫

Imagen
 During our first week in Ireland we had done loads of  cool activities and tried many sports. But after all that fun, it was time to go to school and try to learn new things in the language that we had been learning for so long (almost 14 years 😅): English.  So we started our first complete school day on thursday. I had 5 classes that day, instead of 6, ´cause on thursdays and fridays we finish school earlier. So, the 5 subjects that I had were Musical, Spanish, P.E.,  Irish, and Social, Personal and Health Education. My favourite one was Irish, because there I learnt a lot of useful sentences in that language that we after recorded as a convertation with Ruairí. That day wasn´t to busy, we came back home after school, and we just chilled. On friday, we also had just 5 subjects (which were Musical, Geography, Religious Education, English and Home Economics), but we actually missed lat classe ´cause we helped preparing the Scoil Póil's Awards Night. A good fact that...

Creating the routine 🚜

Imagen
 After our quick adaptation during the first three days in Irland, we started to create a very busy and fun routine. The day after out trip on Monday, the Erasmus students we all met for going to the National Ploughing Championships of Ireland, that was being celebrated during a few days of that week.  In my case, I took the train with Ruairí, and after that, we also took a bus until we arrived to the huge enclosure where this big event had been placed. There, we joined the rest of the Erasmus group, and we enjoyed the more than 500 stands of agricultural machinery, sport clothes, food, and all type of innovating and traditional products that we could purchase. (The Spanish students we were all very amazed by a masive Tiktok stand where we took some pictures). In the championships, there also was a big funfair, where I could rode one of the ride whit Ruairí. It was very fun, and we laughed a lot too! Finally, we enjoyed the animals that could be seen there, such as cows or she...
