I loved showing them around the city that I have come to know so well.<\/p>\n<p>We did the typical tourist activities, whilst making sure I attended my lectures and having regular breaks for coffee and cake. The first night they visited we had paella on the beach which was so lovely. The rest followed from there really. I loved having them here and really didn&#8217;t want them to leave.<\/p>\n<p>After their visit, I took it easy for a while. I have loved meeting up with Emma to enjoy little coffee and cake gossip sessions or brunch on a Saturday morning. Long may this continue.<\/p>\n<p>Then I took a spontaneous trip to a lovely town called X\u00e1tiva with my friends Louise and Bilyana. This was a great day, where we trekked up to the castle to see the views and take in the beautiful scenery.<\/p>\n<p>Following this, my next visitor Kirsty arrived to spend a few days with me here. We had the BEST time walking around the Modern Art Museum and eating churros in the sunshine. I loved having her come to stay. I am now really excited for my Mum and Steve to arrive.<\/p>\n<p>Chloe<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It has been quite a few weeks since my last blog post, however, I have enjoyed some great times with loved ones who have visited. \u00a0First to visit me was [&hellip;]","protected":false},"author":1089,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[268],"tags":[42,249,90],"class_list":["post-1396","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-europe","tag-erasmus","tag-europe","tag-studying"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p4QQbz-mw","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":5217,"url":"https:\/\/blogs.cardiff.ac.uk\/globetrotters\/the-best-coffee-stops-in-granada\/","url_meta":{"origin":1396,"position":0},"title":"The best coffee stops in Granada","author":"Millie Roberts","date":"August 15, 2021","format":false,"excerpt":"One of the first things I wanted to know when arriving in Granada was where I could get an amazing coffee.
