Bodega and Halloween

November 10th


The last 15 days have given me a great opportunity to see the cultural aspects of Spain. Thursday through Saturday evening during the Halloween weekend my friends and I had the opportunity to see how the holiday was celebrated here in Spain. Many of the natives of Salamanca didn´t dress up but the ones who did dress in typical scary outfits. Thursday and Friday I was a pirate. Saturday my friend was out of town so I dressed in her Rabbit costume for a competition.





















I went on a trip to nearby bodegas (wineries) in Zamora and Torro. It was amazing! The group of 50 students got to test several wines. What I didn´t realize was that in order to fully test wine you must use three of your five sences. Now I´m an expert.





We also went on a tour through Zamora and viewed a Museo Castellano. We stopped by a castle and got to explore it for a bit.






To end the trip we ate in a cave. The served us churrizo, ribs, Spanish bacon and all the sides. We ended with shots (non-alcoholic of course) and coffee. Overall a good day.
