Mi Málaga Para Ti

¡Hola! Once again a late post, but for you that want to know more about my work placement, will be an enlighting one. To begin with, I am an intern at an office in the main street of Málaga. There, me and another intern from the same institution, do all kinds of tasks. We usually start our day printing out all contracts and ''arrival timetable'' for the next day. Then the rest of the day is either at the office putting all infos from the check-ins that our colleagues gathered to the system or we visit different apartments around the city and welcome guests. Before we could do the check-ins without supervision, we just accompanied our colleagues to the apartments to learn as much as possible. Well, last week I did my first check-in, which means, I went through the contract with clients and showed them the apartment they will be staying for a few days. Luckily, my first clients were Finns, so it was a bit easier to do it. The rest of the check-ins I've done so...

!Hola! This is a late post about Semana Santa (Holy Week) in Málaga. As you may already know Easter was celebrated this year from March 25th until April 1st. In Málaga Easter or Semana Santa is one of the most celebrated events of the year! Many tourists come from other parts of Spain or other countries to see it. The celebration, as far as I know, consists on parades that many schools, organizations participate. There are hundreds of volunteers and tuns of ''Tronos'' (processions), each representing the last days of Jesus Christ until his ressurection. Many kids collected wax from the big candles to make balls of wax. No sure for what but kids are kids, I guess hehe  So, what does this have anything to do with my intership? Well I came to Málaga two days before this CRAZY event (crazy because almost everything stops because of the event and I was definetely not prepared for that), so at first was a shock to see all these people in the parade we...

¡Buenas! This weeks post is more informational about my days of work, free days and for last some tips for you. To begin with, I live in a Airbnb with other three women (1 is rarely home) about 20 min walking from downtown (and my office). So far so good. Almost everyday I go to work at 10 am and leave at 18 pm. Usually shops, boutiques, museums open at 10 am. In addition, I've heard that it's common to have TWO breakfasts a day! So that is why, I believe, people  in Spain  have their dinner and go to bed  so late. My hosts, for example, eat dinner normally at 21 pm or 22 pm. And lunch is from 13 pm to 16 pm.  Talking about food, I have to recommend this well-known café in Málaga called La Canasta. The salad I ordered is ceaser chicken salad and ginger/orange/carrot juice. Yummy.  For me these eating habits are a bit difficult to get used to, because after all in my home country, Finland, we tend to have our lunch and dinner many hours earlie...
