My trip to Cork  The Friday 26th we didn't have class, so we went to Cork with all the spanish Erasmus students to visit the city. We went by train for about 45 minutes. First of all we had a walk and visited Marina Market where we had lunch, and I bought a hurling jersey. After lunch we had a wal all along the river to the center of the city where we visited Ingles Market. Those two markets are the most populars markets on Cork and are a very important part of the social live. We also visit a few chunches and the Saint Fin Barre's Cathedral and The National Monument. We also went to a few shops to look and buy clothes and little gifts to take with us to Spain.

  My trip to Limerick The day after our arrival we went to Limerick, the biggest town of the region one hour far our village. We went all the Erasmus people toguether so we could met each other. We visited a few house museums and we had a ton of rain so we couldn't visit as many places as we wished, but we were able to go for a little walk were we watched a beautiful gothic church. We shaw King Josh's Castle and it's mural in honour of the famous singer Dolores O'Riordan. We also went to the Milk Market where we walked around stands that were shelling home made products, all was fresh and recently baked.

  Ploughing Ploughing is a festival celebrated on the countryside once in a year in Ireland, it's 3 days long and lots of businesses and associations go to shell things or promote their businesses. The most popular stands where the food, tractor and hurling's (it's the national sport). Lots of associations and businesses gave free stuff like pens, hats, sunglasses, keychains, school material, sweets and other amazing things, there were also some games that gave you free stuff. But the main event of the ploughing was a tracto race to saw which was the fastest of all to harvest and which does it better.
