OUR EXPERIENCE IN ITALY
We went to Italy in April to continue the Erasmus project “Back to Nature”. We stayed for 5 days in San Ginesio, Italy. During the trip we did a lot of activities with our partners from Macedonia and Croatia.
All the Italian people welcomed warmly and nicely the Croatian, Macedonian and Catalan partners. When we arrived all our Italian families welcomed us and took us to their homes, which were located in San Ginesio and in San Angelo.
On the first day of the programmed activities students presented their school to us. Then we went on a tour around the town with all the students. After, the Italian students gave a little presentation with all the anthems of the partners that were there. When we finished that presentation we went to a church and we watched different videos about remedies.
In the afternoon we went for a walk and saw some views of a town next to San Ginesio where we saw many beautiful mountains. Then we visited the museum of the village.
On wednesday, we went to a place called butterfly park. There a chef showed us how to make an Italian pizza and finally we tasted it. After that, we visited a butterfly museum with a lot of species. For lunch, we ate a lot of pizzas of different flavors. We visited a castle, and a coal merchant. In the afternoon we had dinner in a restaurant with a disco. There, a group of boys and girls danced some traditional dances. After that an Italian teacher played some famous songs for us.
On Thursday we went to a cave located near Ancona. The cave was enormous and beautiful. When we finished visiting the cave, we went to some food stalls located near the caves. The food was delicious. After that we went on a tour around the city, we went to a big church and we also saw the mall.
Friday was our last day, but before that we could play sports and have breakfast. Then we took the bus to Rome, where we spent three hours. When we arrived at the airport we waited two hours. We had dinner and then at eleven o’clock we took the plane to Barcelona. We took the bus to Olot and we slept the journey. We arrived at three o’clock in the morning.
It was an unforgettable experience we will never forget. We had a great week with our partners.
