Friday afternoon after a short siesta all the USAC students hiked up to the Castle with Sylvain. I had hiked up with some friends the day before but the weather was much better this time so the view was amazing. It was sunny and 65 and completely clear skies.
The Castle
On the way up to the castle we cut through the village of Santa Cruz again. I took a few pictures but it was hard in a big group so I will definitely be going back.

The whole hike up to the castle takes about 30 minutes and is definitely a workout. Im going to try to do it a few times a week.. much better than the gym and its only 2 blocks from my apartment! Plus you cant beat the views...

On the way back down the sun was starting to set and it was a really pretty walk.
This is seriously the most beautiful place... Still hasn't set in that I get to stay here for the whole semester!

"we spent half the class viewing a powerpoint presentation about the best beaches to go to on the Costa Blanca. Then we learned the different types of wine and how to order different drinks at a bar. It was all really useful information."
