Today we decided to buy tickets for the Malaga cf vs Ibiza fc football match in the la Rosaleda stadium. The match finished 1-1 and after we found out that they had been relegated to the Spanish 3rd division. But what we didn’t know going into the game is that there is a lot of problems surrounding the clubs owner and he does not put any money into the club anymore which wasn’t very nice to hear as there was a lot of passionate fans at this match who love the club who were trying to do all they could in protest after the game. But over all was a incredible experience to see the game.

What an experience. To everyone that went thank you so much for joining me on this crazy journey 🥲🥲. It was the best thing ever. From the people, the scenery (the amazing food), and the culture everything was just wonderful. I couldn't have asked for a better group to stay with. Erasmus+ May 13th- June 3rd 2023.....

Unfortunately our three weeks had finished much quicker than I had expected… we were all very sad to be leaving as we had the best time and we were going to miss the beach and sun and all of the people there. The only thing I was looking forward to was seeing my dogs! 🐾🐾

This was an ice cream I got from the best ice cream shop in Malaga called Casa Mira! On our first day our tour guide recommended this place to us and specific flavours so of course we had to go! I went three times and I got the same every time! Half mint chocolate chip and half mango… the mango was delicious! I will definitely miss this place :(

This gorgeous miniature poodle came in on our second last day of work! She was a great dog and very vocal! It was my first time seeing a mini poodle be groomed so I found it very interesting.

# data[].attributes.body
On one of our last days this gorgeous dog called brownie came into the groomers for her makeover! She is a rescue so they weren’t sure what breed she is. She was a very good girl and looked so pretty with her ponytail!

We got to know each other, what we were all doing for our work-placements , had a few drinkies talked about Bife and our futures.
We all get along very well 👍👍

The beaches over here were so stunning I came back with an amazing tan from sun bathing after work etc. It was very humid but breathable the highest temp on our holiday would’ve been 28 degrees which was a slayyy ☀️☀️

# data[].attributes.body
So grateful I got chosen to go on this trip it was such an experience!  I got along with everyone and I’m so lucky to have had amazing people to share it with, so sad it’s over I’ve struggled and overcame language barriers and I’ve build my confidence so much on this trip! 🤍🫶🏻🇪🇸

Today unfortunately we left beautiful Malaga it was a very sad ending to a unbelievable experience and very very nice new group of friends. It was a very quick 3 weeks but at least we landed in sunny dublin not rainy dublin 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

Today was our last day in work in the lab, I really enjoyed the whole experience working in here with the gang. We bought a crown for one of the lady’s in the office because on our first day she said to us that she is “the Reina” which means the queen of the office and she was quite scary at the start but by the end she was lovely and when we finished work we all did a shot of pacheran which wasn’t very nice to be honest 😂

# data[].attributes.body
Today we had a unbelievable trip to nerja and frigiliana, they were two of the most beautiful little villages that I have ever visited and nerja had a lovely beach which crystal clear water it was a great day out with everyone

# data[].attributes.body

This gorgeous 2 year old golden retriever came in for a wash and dry yesterday! He was such a sweet boy and all he wanted to do was play! It took us quite a while to dry him since he has so much fur but he was the best boy and got lots of treats after!

# data[].attributes.body
We visited Nerja today , a small town that’s has amazing scenery and lots of things to do we went to the beach and explored the different market stalls it was so beautiful

# data[].attributes.body
Really beautiful day out on Sunday seeing two very unique and gorgeous cities. Lots of sunshine and small narrow streets making the experience worth it especially the beach which was stunning. (The water was very deep though 😅)

# data[].attributes.body
This was one of the stray cats we saw while in Nerja! She was very friendly and loved head scratches ❤️

# data[].attributes.body
On Saturday we got to go on a day trip to Nerja it was absolutely amazing! This was the view from  the famous view point called the Balcón de Europa, it was beautiful. We then went down to the beach for a while and got to play some volleyball in the sea! This was definitely a highlight of my time in Spain!

# data[].attributes.body
We found this really cool cookie shop on our way home from brunch! They had so many different flavors and they were only €1.50! I got a white chocolate chip cookie which was delicious!

# data[].attributes.body
We got to go on a boat trip to see the view of Malaga from the sea, it was amazing but I felt very sea sick towards the end and I was ready to go back to land :(

# data[].attributes.body
This was Bailey after her full groom feeling and looking much better and healthier 🫶🏻

# data[].attributes.body
Last week in work we saw a very upsetting case of extreme matting in a dog. We were told this dog should come in every month to maintain a healthy coat but she hadn’t been to the groomers in 6 months. She had very matted fur all over, dermatitis and an eye infection. Her coat had to be shaved off as there were too many knots everywhere. She was a very good girl but when we were trying to tidy up her face she was getting snappy as it was very painful for her :(

# data[].attributes.body
Went on a day trip to Nerja on Sunday! We stopped off at Frigiliana and had breakfast. The place was gorgeous. It has so many little shops and markets as well as places to eat. I felt like I was in Greece because all the buildings where white.

# data[].attributes.body
Went to Brunch it for breakfast on Saturday morning. So so yummy and I had my first ever matcha latte🍵

# data[].attributes.body
Went on a boat trip on Friday evening. Started off really nice until the sea sick started to kick in. Luckily enough it was only 1 hour long. 🤢

Strawberry daiquiris after being let out of work early. This is my favourite place to get cocktails in Malaga. The drinks are so nice and decent prices, on top of that the view of the harbour is beautiful 🌅

Today was a difficult & upsetting day in work as this Lhasa apso dog named Bailey came in that hadn’t been groomed in 6 months! A dog breed like this should be groomed once a month to help prevent matts, build up of dirt and infection. This poor girl had lots of dirt on her skin which was causing her dermatitis and had infected eyes. Her whole coat was completely matted. This was very uncomfortable for the dog and was causing her stress and anger. It is very cruel and inhumane to leave a dog in this state for so long. We shaved her coat, bathed her and cleaned her up for her owner. She looked like a completely different dog at the end.

Today we got to see the beautiful views of Malaga from the alcazaba! ☀️ It was so nice and I really enjoyed it! It was a bit difficult to get to the top as it was a really warm day but it was definitely worth it! I would recommended it to anyone who goes to Malaga!
