We visited many places: the beach, the City of Arts and Sciences, the Oceanographic and the Fallas museum. They vere all interesting and fun. We loved the beach because it reminded us of summer,hot weather and sun, which we are missing in italy. Taronja school taught us many things and we talked about new themes. Teachers were always kind and lovely. It was a tiring week but we went back home really happy.

ROMANO AND LORENZO: We had a lot of  fun in this school, both the family and the school treated us very well. We visited a lot of museums and we also went to the stadium. The teachers were very kind and I (Romano) liked  Lola´s paella better than Gran chef´s. It was a great experience.

It was a magical week, we had a blast!

ELENA, CHIARA, Y CAROLINA: We liked this experience beacuse we improved our spanish, as we talked spanish at school, at home with our guest- families and sometimes in the street. The activities were: eating paella at night, visiting the city, eating churros!, eating ¨tapas¨ and ¨montaditos¨, ¨patatas bravas¨, squid and ¨tortilla¨. We also went to the beach and we had so much fun, we danced salsa at night, we went to the market to eat paella and mussels with chef Nando. Then we visited the City of Arts and Sciences and the Oceanographic, how cool! We went to the Turia gardens and to the Fallas museum as well, we shopped a lot! We had a great time and we think that a week is not enough beacuse people are very nice, kind and happy.
