ISISS F. Daverio – N. Casula School
On Sunday, March 9 we arrived in Valencia. We’re a group of eight girls (Honey, Giulia, Fiorella, Maddalena, Arianna, Victoria, Valeria, Federica) and one guy (Federico). On Sunday we visited the beach and afterwards we got to know our host families. On Monday we got to know Marta (our guide) and she took us to the Mercado Central where we did a very hilarious activity: we had to gather information on ingredients we would need for a home-made dinner. After that we visited the Palacio de las Cortes de Valencia, which also goes by the name of Palacio de Benicarló. It’s very beautiful! In the evening we had our first spanish classes at Taronja School with our two teachers (Mariajo and Ana). On Tuesday morning we went on a tour to see the historic center of the city; after that we had classes and at nightfall we, together with our teachers and the interns and employees of the school had our Welcome-Paella. On Wednesday we went to the Science Museum Principe Felípe in the City of Arts and Sciencies, but it rained throughout all morning. After our classes we had a reunion with the directors of the school (Eva, Maxi and Fernando); we already had known Fernando on Monday because he was the one who prepared for us a Paella, Patatas Bravas and Sangria (typical food). On Thursday we visited the Fallas Museum and and in the evening we all went to see a Flamenco matinee in a typical Valencian bar.On our last day we visited the Oceanografic Museum and for the last classes we did a very special activity: Theater. In all the lessons we talked about topics that deal with business, exactly as our school had planned on beforehand.

Hi! We’re Beatrice, Noémi, Martina, Francesca, Daniela, Federica, Eliana, Fulvia y Sofia. It’s been a week that we’ve been in Valencia for now, right in the week before the Fallas. We’ve seen a lot of places of this modern city, as well as the Fallas figurines which are very beautiful and give colour, hapiness and a special atmosphere to the city. We really appreciate the experience we’ve had here. The classes were very interesting and fun even. Although the weather was rather bad – something which normally doesn’t happen here at all – we’ve had an unforgettable experience. We hope to return soon to Valencia and especially to Taronja School. Hugs and kisses!
