During the week, so far we have been to Madrid, Toledo and Carranque, which were visits tailored to enlighten us of how classical times has influenced our lives today, while also enhancing the cultural understanding of all involved.

On Tuesday, the school took us to Madrid, which was a fantastic experience. The spanish Capital proudly boasts some of the most beautiful buildings in all of Europe, aswell as being a fountain of cultural and classical knowledge. For example, aswell of Santi gifting us with his extensive knowledge of the history of the city, the school also supplied us with educational packs to supplement our understanding of the classical influences and links displayesd in Madrid.
                                    
We also saw a lot of different Velzaquez pictures that were about mythology. Here there are some examples.

 These phtos depict various pieces of spanish art, all of which are proudly displayed in the ´Museo de Prado´ which is located in the centre of Madrid, next to the statue of Neptune that seems to maintain a watchful eye over the neverending flow of cars that pass on the roads either side.
