Patri Guijarro has been holidaying in Mallorca, posting pictures of surfboards and palm trees and stalactites. Laia Aleixandri went to Egypt to see the pyramids. Sandra Paños has been going on countryside walks with her dog. Lucía García has been exploring the streets of Manchester. Lola Gallardo went to a music festival. Ainhoa Moraza got her hair done. Leila Ouahabi feasted on a giant plate of mussels and prawns.
