Living like an Irish teenager with Mario Espinosa - Erasmus 2025

 On wednesday, after the ploughing championships that we went on tuesday, a great day full of activities was waiting for us.  First thing we did was meeting our first teachers and irish classmates because, in the morning, we attended to three of that day's classes. In my case, those classes were woodwork, young social innovators, and business, but because of the lack of some students that went to the ploughing championships and that day`s school trips, the only class that we could do in a normal way was the first (woodwork), that was very relain and new for us. After the classes in Scoil Pól, we took a bus for going mountain biking near the school. When we arrived in the place where we were going to have the activity, some of the spanish students had already finished their track, and they had to come back to the school. Now it was my groups turn. It was a very fun experience, with good views and a lot of adrenalin. (Also, there were a few falls, including mine 🤣), but we all ...

 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...

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 ...
