Getting to know each other

Our first day after arriving at Spain. Our day started with getting to know each other using games like standing in a line according to the hair colour, height, eye colour or shoe size. One thing that was funny is that we had to touch other people's hand or head according to hair colour or country, for example. We can't wait to spend the rest of the week here!

The old city was built by the Arabians in the 16th century as you could see by the architecture and the small streets. We also saw a Parking lot that was a big plaza back then, it was really cool.  As the tour went on he showed us the oldest bakery with the oldest oven in Alaquas we could see through a small hole in the wall.  Later we saw a big plaza with nice houses build in the 19th century in the modern style, we talked about the architecture and the Clay vases that you could see all around the city and how they were made.  After that, they showed us ...
