Dreaming Of A Family Gap Year In Spain?

Dreaming of something different?  Perhaps a family gap year in Spain is what you need?  Does this sound like you?

There you are living a wonderful life with both parents working and the kids are in school.  Your afternoons and evenings are spent running around from activity to event and driving from one location to another.  Sometimes you need to have a quick meal out, as there just isn’t enough time to cook a meal at home.  Once you arrive home, it is time to do a bit of cleaning, have the kids finish their homework, and have a little bit of time together as a family.  Time to go to bed and start it all again tomorrow.

Family Gap Year In Spain - A gap year can now mean a family can travel or immerse in a new culture for a year.  It could mean your family can live a year in Spain!  It's just one year to take a break from your normal day to day life, to experience something completely different.  Try new foods, a new language, new routines, a different way of doing things.  It is the perfect way to give the gift of experience, culture and the world to your kids.

Each Autumn our consulting and blogging takes a little siesta, so Alan and I take full advantage of this time to work on projects and improve our Spanish.  This time we tried experiential learning Spanish mixed with some traditional classroom time.  Yep, we are taking the slow road to fluency, but at least we are still on that road!  To top it all off, we know we are better than we were last year!

As you know, we have been living in Spain for a few years, and during that time we have done our fair share of driving and trying to figure out the Spanish road signs.  I remember when we first arrived and trying to figure out the rules of the road.  Coming from the United States, there were plenty of things that were familiar, but many others that just made us wonder, or look up the answer on the internet.

We have welcomed several visitors to Spain and it has been fun driving around with them.  It is fun hearing their thoughts on driving in Spain as well the meaning of the road signs in Spain and the street markings.  Did you know we have a Zebra, Giraffe and Jellyfish crossing?  What about the Poo Stop or Ninja’s on the loose?

What was it that Bob Dylan wrote?  Ahh yes, “The times they are a changin’“.  So why do I bring that song up?  It’s really a mundane thing, but the time in Spain will be changing.  It’s time to turn the clocks back.  Who out there (in the Northern Hemisphere) has been waiting all year for that extra hour of sleep?  This guy, that’s who!

Sometimes it's difficult to figure out the current time in Spain, as it doesn't line up with the timezone. Alan describes Spain time with a sense of humor. Read more on WagonersAbroad.com

For 6 years we have been spoiled with the view from our terrace.  Of course along the way we have shared that view via video and photos with you.  Today we have somewhat of a special treat to share.  Something we’ve been saying we were going to do for years and now we’ve done it!  Well, I asked Alan to set it all up and he did it!  Today you get to see what we see!  With nearly 20 hours of our view in just minutes of video experience a busy summer’s day, from sunrise to sunset!

This is more than just a seaview or beachview, San Cristobal Beach in Almunecar is Alive! Each and every day there's something to look at, including the shipping lanes in the distance, the currents and waves in the sea, the swimmers, boaters and scuba divers, the beach, the paseo and sunrise over our town.  It's all buzzing and active throughout the day and night.
