Students home from Spain
Thc rain in Spain stayed mainly
off theplain for a group of local
students, as 12 Exctcr high school
Spanish students joincd others from
Brantford and Scaforth schools to
enjoy an eight-day trip to Spain.
They left Toronto Airport on March
12, to Montreal, and on to Madrid,
on an overnight flight. In Madrid
they enjoyed a Pastoo "flea market",
a visit to the Royal Palace, and a
day tour to Salamanca and Avila,
among many other experiences. -
Thc fifth day the group visited
Toledo, en route to Cordoba, once
the capital of Moorish Spain. Tole-
do houses the art treasures of El
Greco, and many students brought
home fine examples of Spanish
steel in swords and daggers.
Another favorite for tourists is
Spanish leather, world-renowned for
beautiful workmanship. Many stu-
dents now have gloves, shoes, belts
and even jackets of leather (very ex-
pensive). From Cordoba, whcrc
thcy visited an 8th century Mosque,
they left for a tour of Sevilla, and
its incomparable cathedral, the Alca-
zar, and an exciting Flamenco dance
exhibition in the evening.
The morning of the seventh day,
thc group piled into the bus again
for a trip to Grenada, and a tour of.
the world-famous Alhambra, once
the Palace of the Caliphs in Moor-
ish Spain. The last day was spent at
Costa Del Sol, on the Mediterrane-
an, whcrc some students picked up
sura -burns, but thc water was still a
bit cool for swimming. it was also
