One of my days in Globalia Maintenance Training

Globalia is located in the municipality of Llucmajor, twenty five kilometers from Palma de Mallorca, in the  Son Noguera trade development. From Tuesday to Friday I have training classes in Globalia in the morning, so I have to get up at cuarter past six in the morning to take the car and go to class. It is my first year in Llucmajor so we have 3 hours of practical classes in the workshop, with 5 minutes of rest every hour to go to the toilette or drink something.
In the workshop, we must wear a uniform and safety shoes, which Air Europa has customized with her logo. At the end of the 3 hours of practice, we have a break of 20 minutes for breakfast and We go to the bar. At 11 o'clock in the morning the first hour of theory begins, so we go to the upper floor of the training building where the classroom is located. At the moment we are studying fundamentals of electricity with Elena. As in the class with Elena we are studying capacitors, resistors and some electrical components, in the workshop we have mounted a small circuit that transmits radio signals that can be picked up by a radio, like the one we have in the cell phone. It is very fun to listen your voice on your cell phone.
In the images you can see the circuits that we made in the workshop. The first picture is the radio transmitter and the second one is a circuit which filter the input signal.

A visit to the hangar and other places to eat

This weekend my couple and I went to eat at a buffet at the Son Pardo racecourse. It is right next to the son pacs institute. It is a buffet where we can find typical Mallorcan dishes, such as “ tumbet” which are sliced ​​vegetables such as aubergine, potato and green pepper, with tomato sauce. We also found "trampo", which is a salad of tomatoes, onions and green and red peppers, cut into very small squares. Most of the dishes in the buffet are good, I recommend the site to people who like buffets. Also this weekend I made a cheesecake with jam that was great. My partner and I like to have something sweet to eat after lunch. Right now, while I am writing the blog, I am preparing donuts, typical of this time of year.

Car racing in the puig major and a hidden skydrol tank

This last weekend I went on an excursion to the Puig major, since this weekend there was a car race. Taking advantage of this event, the night before the race, I slept near to the village of Sóller, a small village located between mountains. Sóller seems to me a spectacular village since it is surrounded by mountains and with a special color in its houses. In addition, it has a small railway that reaches the port of Sóller. I camped near the road for the next morning to see the race from there. What impressed me most, is to see the sunrise from the mountain, with the town of Sóller just below. It was a full day that helped me to disconnect from the module 7 exam. Day 9 was my birthday and I brought cookies and croissants to class for my classmates. Upon arriving home, my partner had prepared a cake with 23 candles. The next weekend is her birthday and I will prepare some surprise ...  In theory class we have started the airplane's pneumatic system, but in practic...
