Final comments
Murcia is a nice town, and the people are mostly very friendly but a bit racist, especially with people from North Africa. It is a good place to start travels in Andalousia, and it is really worth going there (Granada, Sevilla). Concerning the academic aspects, the courses wre interesting and accesssible. Do not hesitate to ask the teachers to help you, they will if you are motivated
