The University of Córdoba

I'm now going to tell you about the University of Córdoba, a place which really interests Erasmus students, or at least should do. Many of you come to Spain only thinking about the parties and not much about the studying, but if you do, you're very mistaken. Spanish...

Eating a lot!

I'm famous because I eat a lot. But a lot. I always hear sentences like...; Ey man! Where do you place the food you eat; because I don't get fat! An idea of my Erasmus friends was to make a wall with some sentences in some languages to show that we are hungry. Spanish,...
