Mediterranean Beach Weekend

Beach house

Well we all know I'm living a really rough life right now so why not take a break by going to the mediterranean for a beach weekend? Ha ha ok ok, I know, I do not have a hard life by any means but a large group of about eighteen students from my university decided to travel close to Sevilla for a weekend at the beach and enjoy a little sun filled city. So on thursday the 17th of March groups of us hopped on the afternoon bus to the city of Marbella, Spain. One of the students had found a rental house that contained enough rooms and beds for everyone and so we all pitched in to rent it thursday through sunday. It was an amazing house with three living areas, two kitchens, and a pool. It was also in the perfect location for walking to the beach and to town. The weekend didn't consist of too much other than enjoying the sun, cooking wonderful meals, and exploring the city by foot. The views here were also breathtaking as the mountains were right there by the beach and the weather happened to be perfect. The way home didn't go as smoothly since the bus was full by the time we got to the station but we improvised by heading into Malaga and taking the bus home to Sevilla from there. We were even able to pass some of our time bowling in the train station in Malaga! This was a great weekend of relaxation and making new friends!
