Charles Wright Academy Spain 2026
Saturday, February 7
Today we visited a farm in Dílar, the easternmost place of Andalucía that we are visiting on this trip. First thing, we took a tour around the area. We saw a river flowing through the land, rows of olive trees, and many different kinds of plants growing in the fields. It was peaceful being surrounded by nature, but not long after, rain started pouring and everything started going muddy.
We split into three groups to do different activities. Some of us helped in the chicken coop, some planted almond and chestnut trees, and others cut branches to help with the fertilizing process. It was a great hands on experience, despite how dirty and rainy it was, and we enjoyed every moment of it. At lunch, Matteo, who is from Napoli, made pizza for everyone with the ingredients that we chose, which was the best meal we could have had after a long day of work.
Later, we had a flamenco class and participated in activities that helped us get to know each other better. The dance class was kinda awkward because we all don’t like dancing in front of a crowd, but we went along with it. The session after the dance class truly brought everyone closer together, we played some fun games focused on trust and body expression. We are at the restaurant where we will have dinner and then go back to our hotel in Granada. Overall, it was a meaningful and enjoyable experience. We are excited to explore the streets of Granada!
