Clay Pottery Workshop Project

We had an extremely interesting and funny Pottery Workshop hosted by Santa Catalina School last 28th March and managed by Pedro "El Alfarero". We usually travel to Úbeda and Baeza to be told about Jaén's pottery, so we decided to experience pottery craft with our hands. Students were told about the whole process and were helped to make their own pieces quite sucessfully!!! They will keep one piece themselves and will give another piece to their English partners. In a future meeting, both pieces will be painted and duly customized ;)

Spanish Sweet for Halloween! / All Saints' Day

Here you are a video on a traditional sweet eaten in Spain at Halloween time. Traditionally, we celebrate All Saints' Day, also called All Hallows or Hallowmas, familiar, right?. This is only one of the assorted sweets for these days as people also eat baked pumpkin, sweet potatoes with cinnamon and "Huesos de Santo" (literally 'saint's bones') THANK YOU MARTA AND BLANCA FOR STARRING THE VIDEO ;)

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.
