How I spent my free time in Spain

During this program it was rare to have free time. I was taking four classes and every day we had a group activity. On the weekends we had excursions but, they were mostly optional. When I had free time some friends and I would go to a bar and drink landron de manzana (a type of apple cider) and eat tapas. This became a great way to meet others in the group and practice our Spanish. At night a group of us would go to the bars and clubs. Salamanca is a collage town therefore, there are a lot of options. If you really want to experience a true Spanish bar, you will have to wait until 3 am. Everyone goes out at 3 am. How I spent my free time in Spain was no different than how I spent my time in the states. The only positive that Spain has over the U.S. is the food and drinks are way cheaper.
