5th Lyceum of Veria in Sagrada Familia School,

Elda, Spain

First day, 15 April, a very warm welcome by our partners and the school principal at the school Hall.The tour around school gave us a clear idea of a well organised school with a lot of facilities.

Lunch with spanish specialities,

eaten immediately, was offered by students’ families at school and of course working on our project occupied us most of the morning time at Sagrada familia.

The second day, a day trip to Benidorm and Altea was a surprise to us and made us rethink the protection of environment and preservation of traditional villages.

On 17th Day , all partners worked hard and in harmony to finish their duties under the guidance of our lovely coordinator. Early,in the evening, we went to a local modern winery where they showed us how they produce the high quality wine. Late in the restaurant wheer we were offered delicious dishes by the spanish team flamenko dancers impressed us with their talent.

18th of April was again a nice day for everybody because we visited the SantaPola Salt Lakes ecosystem and then we relaxed at La Marina Beach eating traditional paella salads. Elche Palm Grove gave us the opportunity to refresh and our mind to visit a green world as a paradise.

Friday 19th April was the last day. After evaluating our project which everybody admitted it was one of the most successful ones regarding the partners cooperation, the hosting, the work done during the two years of partnership, the goals achieved.

The dance show by the spanish students was the grand finale of our project. Before leaving Elda and going back home , we promised each other to keep contact and meet again. We lived very touchable moments that we keep deep in our hearts.

The great time went on at Azuzena’s house in the country side. There we had a blink of spanish life and enjoyed warm hospitality by her and all the nice spanish teachers involved in the project. Of course paella was the best once again and we honiured the dish as it deserves to be honoured!

Well, this is the end of our mobility to Elda and of our Comenius project. But her is the start of the partners friendship on another basis, the one of mutual respect and understanding each other.

Thank you very much, dear friends!
