During the three weeks in Malaga, I started to miss Dublin a little. And now, I miss Malaga. 😅

Why? I missed Ireland because I got used to this country and found new friends here.

But I miss Malaga because the work was interesting, the people in our group were amazing, and of course — the weather… I miss the sun and the warm sea!

Overall, I just want to say thank you to Bife and Erasmus for the experience I had there.

I’m truly grateful, because everything in Malaga was so good — probably the first trip where I honestly can’t think of anything I didn’t like. Everything was just that great.

I was really happy to be part of this journey.🥰

I’m back home. It’s been a few days since I returned to Dublin. It still feels unfamiliar — I really enjoyed this unique experience I had: all the connections, the people, the knowledge, the new culture, language, country — so much of everything. The whole trip was very well organized, and the accommodation was excellent. Thank you so much for this opportunity❤️

It was such a great experience for me!! I loved Málaga and Spain. This trip was amazing 😻 I’ve never been anywhere before, and this was perfect for the first time. The weather was lovely, the sea was amazing, people were really nice and pretty. ☺️ The activities were great and fun, I love the city tour, got to know some interesting places. The boat trip was also great, unfortunately we didn’t get to see the dolphins, but the views were still amazing. 😍 There was also plenty of free time to explore the city, and I wouldn’t be me if I did go to the dance class. It was super hot 🥵 🔥 I loved it so so much!! And of course I really enjoyed the workplace. I experienced many new activities, and it was super interesting to try myself in a teaching role and teach children and teenagers theatre, obviously it wasn’t something academic, but we played some really fun games that used imagination a lot. And of course we met many new people there and made new friends, which is always nice. ☺️ Overall I really loved this trip and this experience!! Finally got a chance to practice my Spanish, which was not as bad as I thought. Would definitely love to come back to Spain.😍😍

Final✨✨✨

This journey has been unforgettable. I am incredibly grateful for the chance to explore Malaga – a city full of charm, history, and warm people. During my time here, I discovered not only a beautiful place but also new friendships and a deeper understanding of different cultures.

I’ve learned so much, both inside and outside the classroom, and these experiences will stay with me forever. Although I feel sad that it’s coming to an end, I’m excited to return one day, ready for even more adventures.

Thank you to everyone who made this experience possible – it has truly been life-changing. See you again, Malaga! 🌞🇪🇸

Big thanks to Erasmus+ amd BIFE for this opportunity. I met great people and had a nice time together. I still miss Malaga, i liked the City, the culture, people and food. I had great time and work experience was good. Learned new skills and improved communication. I will return to Malaga for sure.

Back in Ireland now, and I am missing Málaga so much. The 3 weeks of the mobility felt like they flew by, and I would like to thank Erasmus+, the European Era team, and BIFE for this amazing opportunity 💗 I made so many new friendships and connected with so many people. I got to experience a country which I have never been to - the history, cuisine and traditions in Málaga were incredible to see and try, and I loved every second of it. I learnt so much about myself and about Málaga, and I would love to visit again someday ! My work placement in Dr. Alonso Martínez Veterinary taught me so much about the work of a vet, and I feel so grateful to have seen the procedures (and the adorable patients). It also showed me whats it like to work in Málaga, and doing so has made me consider it as a place I would work in the future. The locals in Málaga were so lovely and I loved interacting with people. Although I was a bit nervous before heading out to Málaga, I immediately felt at home in the accommodation and with my fellow students - who were so welcoming and willing to experience all that Málaga had to offer together. I would wholeheartedly recommend this expedience to anyone thinking about taking part, and I hope my blogs have shown just that. Again, thank you to everyone involved for allowing me to have this fantastic experience ! 💗💗

Straight to bloom for me after Malaga, my mind and spirit is still in Malaga though, and a feeling that I don’t want to end yet, I felt I could of stayed and got more experience from this amazing trip, I think from the fact that I missed out on the first week due to a painful back injury and thinking that it just wasn’t going to happen and I was going home due to this injury, but with determination and willing to get a Spanish doctor and medical plan, I could at least experience my Erasmus placement from a different placement of an office job for one week which included learning to navigate a laptop in Spanish and help arrange welcome packs and name tags for incoming students this summer and a bit of general help and support from the European Era team. This experience in the office helped me rest my back in order to actually spend the last week in the Terramia restaurant making Pizzas and amazing Lasagnas with the brilliant chefs from there, I got to practice my culinary skills, Spanish language and navigate my way around Malaga by bus and walking. This whole experience to Malaga for me has been amazing and one that I will have so many amazing adventures and memories to think for a long time to come. I am so thankful I was picked to join in on the Malaga trip. Thank you 🙏 to the Erasmus team and everyone involved to make this possible.

What an unforgettable 3-week Erasmus+ experience in Malaga! 🇪🇸✨
I’m so grateful I had the chance to participate in this program and work at a local cultural centre, where I learned so much and met many amazing people. Every day was a new adventure (and a great challenge sometimes) from exploring beautiful places to soaking up the vibrant Spanish culture. So grateful for all the memories, lessons, new places and even a sunstroke (10/10 would not recommend but won’t ever forget it). Miss you Malaga 💛🌍 but very happy to be back home 🇮🇪

Had a final meal out in Malaga this evening at a great little restaurant called ‘100 Montaditos’ ❤️ It’s a great little place! Each little item, be it little burger, sandwich, pizza etc. is like €1-€2 and you just order as many as you want. They honestly taste so good! 😋 I had been meaning to try this place for pretty much the last 2 weeks and I’m so glad I did try it before leaving! 😊 It’s cheap, fast and tasty! What more could you want? 🤷🏻‍♀️💕

I’m sure this is every guys worst nightmare but this little guy was so good! Observing his castration surgery was the very last part of my work experience. This was him just falling asleep with the anaesthetic before surgery. It was a surprisingly fast surgery actually! Only took about 15 mins 😯

Water Fun is a big inflatable obstacle course on the water at the very end of the Malagueta Beach 🏖️ It was so so so much fun and we laughed so much! It reminded me of that TV show, ‘Total Wipeout’. I highly recommend doing it with some friends if you get a chance! It’s €18 for an individual ticket and €15 each if you have a group of 10 or more. You can play around for an hour but they aren’t strict on the hour at all! Even on the website it says that they don’t mind how long you stay as long as you are gone before they close 😂 Seriously though, so much fun! Everyone else was exhausted at the end but I was buzzing! It’s like I gained energy from it ⚡️😝

There was another dog in today with kidney stones that have not gone away with medication so he is likely to need an operation to remove them. Dr. Alonso showed and explained the X-ray images to us. There are 2 stones in the Urinary Bladder (2 white dots above and parallel to the femur), and 4 in the Urethra (3 white dots close together right near the butt and 1 a bit further down). It was really interesting to actually be able to spot them for ourselves!

I got to help assist Dr. Alonso with this cat’s ultrasound today. I was holding it in place while Dr. Alonso used the machine to check her abdomen. She has a very large kidney stone a few weeks ago and today, the scan was to see if the medication had worked to get rid of it, or if she needed another scan. Lucky the medication worked and she doesn’t need an operation. I enjoyed helping out. I’ve gotten good at holding animals in the correct positions for different examinations and procedures. It’s important to hold them the right way so that they don’t get injured from moving while being examined or during blood tests and scans.

The poor dog was attacked last week by a German Shepherd and was in really bad shape. The owners did not keep on the protective cone and the dog ended up trying to clean its wounds by licking them. This caused Necrosis of the skin and all the stitches came out 😣 The poor thing needed to be completely stitched back up again! 38 stitches 😢 So brave! ❤️ The cone definitely stays on from now on!
