Three Months, a Lifetime of Memories: Our Erasmus in Zaragoza

We arrived in Zaragoza on July 20, 2024. After spending three months here, it’s hard to put into words everything we experienced, because the emotions were truly intense. This city has deeply transformed us.

Work and Study in a New Environment
Over the past months, we worked in various fields: marketing, hospitality, and summer camps. These experiences helped us improve our interpersonal and organizational skills. We also had the opportunity to refine our Spanish and learn more about a new culture, meeting many people who introduced us to their customs and cuisine.

Trips with Erasmus Friends
During Erasmus, we visited other cities like Valencia and Barcelona, as well as small “pueblos” around Zaragoza. These trips, whether alone or with fellow Erasmus students, allowed us to admire extraordinary monuments and discover new traditions. Each city and place offered something unique and fascinating.

Life in Zaragoza
But the true protagonist was Zaragoza itself. It’s a city full of history, art, and vitality. The Basilica del Pilar and the Ebro River are unforgettable places. The local cuisine, cultural events, and the people we met have left lasting memories. The time spent exploring and getting to know the city has become a fundamental part of our life experience.

The Pilar Festival
A special highlight was the Pilar Festival. During those days, the city was filled with events, people, colors, and traditions. It was an experience that helped us understand the spirit of Zaragoza and the essence of its people.

New Friendships and Spanish Culture
This experience allowed us to fully immerse ourselves in Spanish culture, especially that of Aragon. The traditions, the language, and the lifestyle became familiar to us. We also built new friendships with people from all over Europe and the world.

End of the Journey
On October 19, 2024, our Erasmus experience will come to an end. These three months in Zaragoza have helped us grow in every possible way. What remains are precious memories that know no linguistic or geographical boundaries.
