Erasmus Valladolid February – June 2013  In February of 2012 we had an information hour at the KHLim (Limburg Catholic University College (LCUC)) about doing our internship abroad.  I am a very motivated and enthusiastic person,  I like challenges, experiencing the technologies and the culture all over the world. Therefore I was very interested in the concept of Erasmus. I was pleased to do my Erasmus in Valladolid, Spain. During this Erasmus I had to do my final project work for my bachelor degree electro-mechanics with option electro-mechanic.  The Erasmus Program (EuRopean Community Action Scheme for the Mobility of University Students) is a European Union (EU) student exchange program and gives students the chance to explore different countries in Europe and explore the technologies and culture abroad.  Valladolid is the capital of the province of the same name, and is part of the region of Castile-Leon in Spain. Valladolid is a reasonably large industrial city to the northwest of Madrid. It is one of the major regional center in Castile-Leon. The city has an older core with some interesting buildings. However it has focused more on industry than tourism. Nowadays the population of Valladolid is near 322,000 inhabitants.  I learned a lot during this Erasmus, I got to know the Spanish mentality and culture, visited some other parts and beautiful places in Spain. It was a positive experience for me.
