Los Viveros y Jardines de Monforte

For my Cultures and Civilizations of Spain class last Wednesday we visited two historical gardens that have been in Valencia for hundreds of years originally built for royals. The first garden is named Los Viveros.

My roomate in comparison to a flower pot. Spain likes everything big and grand.



The second garden is Jardines de Monforte.




This garden is famous for a giant pond in the shape of a lily pad.




The first cat I've gotten to pet in Spain!

Pyrenees Mountain Trip- Jaca, Spain

For the last 4 days me and the rest of the students stayed in Jaca, Spain where we hiked through the Pyrenees Mountains as well as white water rafted. We also visited Loarre castle where Kingdom of Heaven was filmed and we visited a monastery.
