On Sunday, May 21, 60 students from the Miguel Hernández University of Elche (UMH) visited Tabarca Island. This activity was organized by the UMH Erasmus Experience Club, and it enjoyed participation by both incoming students from various mobility programs as well as UMH university community members.

Cristian Espejo, a delegate from the UMH Bachelor’s in Labor Relations and Human Resources program, accompanied the students on the trip and informed them about the island’s marine biodiversity, its history, first inhabitants, and the reasons for it being established as a marine reserve in 1986. The students also explored the island’s walls, the small islet of La Cantera, the Church of St. Peter and St. Paul, and they also swam in the island’s coves.

According to Antonio Garrido, the Erasmus Experience Club coordinator, “The objective is for UMH and Erasmus students to take a guided tour of Tabarca Island, to get to know each other and strengthen their relationships, experience our culture while we experience theirs, and to enjoy a day at the beach.”

The UMH Student Delegation also collaborated in this activity.
