Bienvenidos a Madrid :)

Arrived in Madrid Puerta de Atocha we took the metro to go to the hostel. It was very nice hostel in an an old traditional building in Madrid with a very special style, I'd say close to arab architecture! Anway really really nice and most of all in the city center...finally!!!

After leaving our luggages we went for breakfast in a bakery, it was so tasty and so cheap!


We spent a good moment there before going eating with Kenny in a spanish sandwich bar close to the place where, at 15h we were going to meet 40 young latin americains who are studying in Madrid for 2 months. They are part of a special program for latin american students ;) it is quite interesting but I really don't know the details! That afternoon Juan Carlos, Mari, Maru, Jenny, Lucas and Alejandre had to present their projects. Me and Elena presented EUforIA.


We had a very good time there, the 40 students had so many questions and we had some time to discuss more in detail, with the people interested, the three LA projects + EUforIA.


It was quite interesting because these people were very impressed by the projects and talked a lot with us for discussing about their project ideas. In fact one of the objective of their student program is to come up with social prjoects at the end of the 2.5 months!

I think we all made a great job and spent a great afternoon with great people!

After "working" we went out drinking something all together and then went eating with Dani (one of the founder of EUforIA) in a very typical place in Madrid. The night continued in some bars dancing and drinking ;)




Last day of the trip coming soon!!
