Life is about opportunities. The opportunity to travel to a foreign land is alluring for anyone who is curious about culture, but for five teenage boys who want to explore the culture of fútbol (soccer) in Spain – it is everything.
Come along with me as I blog about my adventures with James, Rob, and four local families who will call Granada, Spain home from February 14 – 23. Our boys will stay with host families and practice with the Granada youth academy team, while the parents will explore all this wonderful Andalusian community nestled at the foot of the Sierra Nevada mountains has to offer. From Tapas to Flamenco dancing, to soccer – better known throughout Europe as fútbol – we’ll live, laugh and play.
I’ll post here on Mommy Musings and on the Democrat and Chronicle Moms blog. I’ll also share photos and videos on Facebook and Twitter.
What do you think?

To live forever
hi my name is Kylie Maggard and i read how you went to granada spain and i really enjoyed alot of things you did. To begin with, i thought that the olive farm was very cool and interesting. Also, i liked how you went to a spanish style soccer game called tiki-taka. Finally i liked how u got to try new foods from spain like churros and chocolate which i thought looked the best. Over all i enjoyed reading about your exiting trip to spain.
Hey! I thought your trip to Spain seemed exciting. I love new experiences myself. Here are a few things I found most interesting about your trip. Out of your reasons to love Granada, churros and chocolate sound really good. Alhambra and the Sierra Nevada sound like nice places to visit based off of the pictures here. I also noticed that the boys must really love soccer (Fútbol). The Tiki-Taka style seems to be extremely effective in relation to the sport. Speaking of which, were there any other popular sports as or almost as famous as soccer? Also, are there any sports in Spain that we don’t have here in the states?
Thank you for your time, Sometime in the future, I would like to visit Europe as well. A once in a lifetime opportunity indeed!
It seems as if you had a great time on your trip. The churros with chocolate sounds like it tasted delicious, being on the top of your list. I didn’t know about the olive farm before I read this. They seem like they are somewhat popular there. I believe your son had a great time too. I think he had fun playing futbol and watching it in the stadium. The stadium looks huge, it is the size of an American football stadium. If you had to go to Spain again, where would you visit next time and what sights would you like to see?
The article I liked most was 7 reasons why I love Granada, Spain. I liked it because it went in very good specific detail of foods you ate, buildings you saw, and feelings you had while you were there. Some questions I have are, did you laugh at the pose the Flamenco dancer had in the picture? and considering how good the tapas were did you only buy the beer or wine for them? One more question I have is in person did the ground look like it had tadpoles in it?
After reading articles I am interested in discussing your trip to Granada, Spain. Your trip seemed very interesting and I would like to know more about it. For example, after reading ” 7 reasons why I love Granada, Spain” I would like to know what was your favorite part about walking around an olive farm? I would like to know this because it sounds like it was a incredibly nice experience. Also what was your favorite mosaic that you saw ? Another thing I am curious about is if you had the chance to visit Granada again what would you do different? would you visit different places and try different things? In conclusion, this is what I was interested in.
Hi, my name is Marlayna DiFante. I enjoyed learning about your trip to Granada, Spain. I loved the pictures of the streets. They are so beautiful. I love the history behind the mosaics. Furthermore, the Alhambra looks so amazing. I would love to go there to see all the beauty and history. The idea of seeing ancient palaces and fortresses is amazing. I also noticed that the soccer field in one of your pictures is huge. How many people can it fit? Soccer must be very big in Spain. I also wanted to mention your statement about coffee while looking at the Sierra Nevada, that sounds like a wonderful time. Lastly, I especially enjoyed hearing about the churros and chocolate that you wrote about looks so delicious. I would love to try it sometime. In conclusion, what was your absolute favorite part about Granada, Spain? Please write me back if you get a chance. Thank you.
