From Sept. 11, 2008 to March 20, 2009 I will spend a bit more than six months in Sevilla,Spain. I will be studying Spanish, learning about the Spanish and Andalusian Culture, and teaching medicine. For those unfamiliar with Spain, Sevilla is the fourth largest city of Spain, is in the Southernmost Province of Spain, and is about 30 miles from the Mediterranean Sea. It is known as one the warmest places to be in Spain in the summer and has mild (Los Angeles style) winters. It is famous for its cathedral, alcazar (fort and palace), narrow winding downtown streets, and long history as a port and trading center. It claims to have the best tapas in Spain.
I hope to travel to many parts of Spain during my stay and make a sojourn to Morocco.In the following posts I will give observations of Spanish life, customs, and how they compare to the those in the U.S. I will also report on medical practice in Spain vs. the U.S.
