Day four

"It was a really good day, we learned to play a new game and we visited the Wood Museum in Vinuesa, very closed to Salduero", said Belén and Alba. Now they can use words and expression around the topic of the wood such as junipers, beech, oak woodland - here they call it rebollar- pine, imperial eagle, woodpecker... In the museum a girl told them the many pine forests provide an important economic resource for local municipality and the local people who receive part of the benefits from the wood - suerte del pinar - .She also told them about the colour of Laguna Negra and the leyends that refers Antonio Machado in his poem "Las tierras de Alvargonzález".
So thanks to our reporters and we are looking forward to hearing other classmates telling us about the last day in the camp.

Day three.

María González reported her experience hiking up Pico del Águila - a natural watchtower- following a narrow path up hill among a forest of oak trees and pines - pino albar-. It was a steep mountain at the buttom, but it had gorgeous views of the villages and a dam in the Duero river at the top. They had a tasty ham sandwich and delicious chocolate covered fruits from Aragón.
Back in the camp they had paella and some meat for lunch. After the ecoproyect workshop, she enjoyed the football match, but she didn't like volley.
Nuclear power station, wild life and wood were some of the new words she could remember and she listened the monitors telling them "don't play football, we mus't go into".
