Visit to Mercado de San Francisco and "Tapas Night"

After some sightseeing in the city, which included a reception at the city's Hall, a later walk to "Arco de San Lorenzo", "Baños Árabes" and the Cathedral, we visited the local market to taste local products and have a look at ingredients for the mediterranean dish each family had to cook later on at home. Finally, we had our "Tapas Night", a nice gathering with students, parents and teachers. We all got together and shared our cooking specialities ;)

Workshops: Flamenco and Soap-making with Olive Oil

With a view to promote our customs and traditions, we designed two workshops for the English students: One devoted to Flamenco in which they learnt basics about it (branches - palos-, rhythm and clapping) Likewise, we made soap with olive oil, a very old tradition inherited from our ancestors.
