We learnt about al-Andalus and looked at ongoing excavations as well as Roman mausoleums and various musuems, went to the Alhambra in Granada and the Great Mosque in Cordoba. I want to go back to Guadix to volunteer! Anyone wanna sponsor me? ;p About a dozen of us lived in a house as guests of Atarfe and were very warmly received.

Fun In The Sun!

Today is the last day of the exam period for the academic year 2009/2010. At the moment, there's a Fun In The Sun free event going on at the Square. It's very hot out there and totally packed! From 2pm - 6pm, there will be a climbing wall, an assault course, a challenge rodeo, a bungee run and candy floss - all totally free! Summer cocktail jugs will be sold at the Union Pub, whether it's Pimm's & Lemonade or Sangria or Sex on the Beach that you're after. Remember to drink responsibly! And wear sun cream, lots of it. The party continues tonight with the 2nd POW at the LCR. DJs will be playing everything from electro to indie, party pop to hip hop, house and garage to dubstep so get your shoes and dance the night away. If you're a fresher, make the most of it while it lasts! And if you're in your second year, brace yourselves for the final one. For those of you who've finished your degree today, congratulations and all the best :) Here comes the smell...
