Back to Work




Monday we came back to school.
We had a general introduction made by students about Basque Country's culture and Language.
Mr Alberdi, history teacher made a presentation about the Spanish Civil War and the bombardment of Gernika (preparation of Tuesday Field-trip).
Then We had a Walk through San Sebastian paying attention to the open air sculptures. From the Comb of the Wind to the Holy Heart.


On Tuesday we went to visit The Tree of Gernika, to learn about Basque ancient culture.
We had a second visit, the Peace Museum. Gernika Peace Museum is a theme museum setting out the culture of peace. It was inspired by the tragic bombing of Gernika, trying to merge History and Peace. It is a place to think about violence reasons and consequences.

Finally we went to Bilbao to have a look to the impressive Guggenheim Museum. There it was finished the Fieltrip to Bizkaia. But the day was not finished yet! We had another surprise ahead.

Once we were back to San Sebastian, Basque students prepared a delicious supper in a gastronomic society of the Old Town. Bon Appetitte!
