1st ESO in Altamira and "Lagos de Covadonga"

Last week the students of 1st od ESO went to Cantabria and Asturias for two days. They visited the museum of Altamira where they could see the "neocave" which is a copy of the original paleolitic paintings found not far from there. They also went to the "national park of lagos de Covadonga"

This is a picture of 1st of ESO A listening to the guide's explanations about the lake.There were three lakes,
 one was a temporary lake. In the biggest lake there is a statue of the Virgin of Covadonga,  it is inside the lake all the year but once a year they take it out  for a celebration in Picos de Europa.

It was very tiring, but we were very lucky because the weather was fantastic! We ate a packed-lunched near the lakes .We enjoyed the excursion a lot because we didn't have to come to class but we learned a lot of history and geology. By the way, Do you remember what a "MORRENA" is? We would like to have more excursions like that because we like this way of learning new things. We recomend you to go to this excursion, it's a good experience!
