Inside Student BlogsAn English WeekendGranada, Spring 2010
I spent this past weekend in London. I had never been before, but it quickly became one of my new favorite cities. The architecture, the atmosphere, and the beautiful parks and markets drew me in and made me want to stay another week. Each time we got off the metro, we were in a different neighborhood with a different style and vibe. The city is so full of variety and there seems to be a historical landmark around each corner. We went to Borough Market, a sort of farmer’s market in the city which was incredible. We wandered around for hours just looking at everything. While I was happy to be back in Granada, I can’t wait for the next time I get to visit London.
