Traditional trip to Menorca
In Spain, when students finish 12th grade (which is called "2nd Bachillerato" and is optional), they have to take an exam called the Selectividad, also known as the PAU or EBAU. These are very demanding exams required to get into university, and they can be extremely stressful.It’s very common that, once the exams are over, students organize a trip to the Balearic Islands (Mallorca, Menorca, or Ibiza), a group of islands in Spain, to celebrate. It’s usually a wild trip where they party a lot and barely sleep. I haven’t taken mine yet, but I’m really excited about it. My school always goes to Menorca. Sometimes groups of friends organize the trip, but in some cases the whole class goes together.
