Hola Granada

5:22 0 Comments



Hello, this is my first blog i’m going to speak about my first experience in EVS with Las Ninas Del Tul. Let me introduce myself before. Well my name is Cheima, I’m from Tunisia, I’m 24 years old and I’m a student. I came here to Granada with a friend of mine (Meriem) for 9 months. It was my first time that I travel and being in a plane, so I was scared but it was really nice. So we went to the airport of Tunisia and we were running because we were late, we almost missed the flight but we made it. After two hours we arrived to the airport of Madrid which was really big after that we went to the bus station and we waited inside the airport cause outside it was a bit cold


We had so much fun in the airport we ate food and had some drinks. After hours the bus came and went to Granada, we couldn’t see the road because it was night so I slept in the bus. At 7 am we arrived, Carmen came to take us to our place, she was very friendly, I felt comfortable. It’s been so long that I didn’t speak English I was scared that I couldn’t communicate with people here but actually I was good. In our way she was telling us about the places and everything.  Then she took us to the hotel in front to our place and took the breakfast together I took coffee (un caffe con leche) and Meriem too.


After the breakfast we went to our new home in Cuidad los ninos, I was very exited cause it’s really big huge house, we met Mohamed he lives in the house he is a nice guy. Then we cleaned our room and we arranged our clothes. We were really hungry so we had lunch in hotel with Carmen, Nadia, and the ex volunteers Didi (Bulgaria) and luca (Hangaria) we had so much fun and we exchanged our phone numbers. After finishing the lunch we went with Nadia to tourism office to collect some maps and buy some groceries. It’s our first day here so we were exited and curious to discover the city so we had a big tour in city center we were fascinated by the cathedral. Also people here in Granada are nice and friendly. We loved every part, every corner in the center. After this big tour we were tired so we stopped and took coffee, by the way I loved the coffee here because it’s really delicious.



At night we went with Carmen, Didi and Luca the ex volunteers to discover Granada by night and it was charming and beautiful. We went to different bars and the biggest surprise for me here is tapas I just love it. And then we ate Kabeb which is really delicious. Finally we went to our home to have some sleep because we were exhausted, we had a long trip and we didn’t sleep the night before.

My First Days in Granada

Holaaa :)

This is my first blog so I should start by telling you a bit about myself.
So my name is Meriem, I am 27 years old and I'm from Tunisia.



I met Carmen in Tunisia about 7 years ago and I told her in September 2016 that I want to go for EVS. So we started brainstorming and she welcome the idea. "Las Ninas Del Tul" applied for an EVS project for two people that is why I was able to go on EVS with my best friend Cheima.

We left from Tunisia on the 24th of October and we arrived to Madrid in the evening. Then we took a late ALSA bus to Granada and we arrived around 7 am on the 25th. Carmen came to pick us up from the bus station and she showed us a bit around Granada where we are going to live and took us for an early breakfast.

I remember the first question we were asking was "When is the sun gonna come up??" haha it's funny because in my country the sun is so strong from very early morning but in Granada it was a bit late.

We went home and arranged our luggage in our new home then again for lunch Nadia from our hosting NGO "Las Ninas Del Tul" and Nadia's little daughter Alya" came to pick us up for lunch where we were joined by Camen, Didi (volunteer from Bulgaria) & Luca (volunteer from Hungary),

And since we didn't want to rest and wanted to make the best of our first day in Granada, we later on went with Nadia to a tourism office to grab some maps and info about Granada, she helped us buy some groceries and showed a good place for drinking coffee then we went to Espacio Joven where Didi and Luca were and which is the place where we receive and inform the youth who comes to inquire about EVS.

We also had breakfast in our lovely garden as the weather was very hot and sunny.



Nadia prepared for us maps to explore the city and it was really fun. We fell in love with the charm of Granada.







We also run into the girls (Didi & Luca) by chance while exploring Granada.
