My trip to Spain and Portugal was one of the best experiences I have ever had. After previously attending the Italy trip the year prior, I was eager to attend the trip this year. I had high expectations after such a phenomenal Italy trip, and this trip blew those expectations out of the water. From the experiences to the food, to the sights, and the people, this trip truly was one to remember. The one thing that made this trip so special was the people that we shared it with.

      The group of SPC students and staff that went with us on the trip were so energetic, kind, and helpful that they helped make even the rainy days feel bright. We also got to share the trip with three out of state groups from New Mexico, Colorado, and Hawaii. They truly made the trip even more special, and we got to share amazing memories with them. One woman that really stood out and made the trip so memorable was our tour guide, Stefania. Her bright attitude, knowledge, and kindness helped keep positive attitudes throughout the trip. One thing I will take away is to always stay in our happy bubbles!
