MADRID 2012. Paula A. (4t ESO B)


MADRID, AN UNFORGETTABLE TRIP

From the 25th to 28th of March, the JMJ students of 4th ESO went to Madrid. We started our trip at 5:45 a.m, when we left the school in two buses.
During the route there were school friends who were sleeping, some who were listening to music, or some who were watching films using their Ipods.
I was sitting next to my friend Albert Gurrea, and during the 8 hours we watched two films: Zombieland and Ali-G, and we listened to a lot of music.

We arrived in Madrid at two o’clock. The buses parked next to Plaza Oriente and there we had our lunch. I had my lunch with my friends in Los Jardines del Moro. We had 2 hours to have lunch and walk around the zone and then went for a walk with our teachers. We went to emblematic places in the city, such as Plaza Mayor, Plaza del Sol, La Catedral del Almudena, El Castillo Real, La Puerta de Alcalá and La Cibeles.

Then we arrived at our residence, the school Padre Mañanet de Alcobendas. My roommates were Anna Pérez and Mireia Braza. We lived really great and funny moments there! For example, while in the other rooms girls were having a shower, Mireia, Anna and me (and then Cristina and Eulàlia) were singing and dancing and recording it!!!
The second day we went to El Retiro’s park and to Museo El Prado. El Retiro was aamazing, and El Prado the best musem that I have visited.
After it we had 4 hours to have lunch and to make out Projecte de Recerca. I had a “Bocata de Calamares” in Plaza Mayor, it was delicious!!! Then my group of PR went to Gran Via to make some photos for our work.
We returned to the residence and we went early to bed, because the next day we’d get up at half past seven.
The third day we visited El Escorial (an extraordinary Royal palace) and we went to Segovia. In Segovia many of us had  “cochinillo” for lunch.

Before this trip I had gone to Segovia, and this second time the aqueduct shocked me as the first time!
The last day we packed and we went to Alcalá de Henares. There the PR groups took some photos of the typical places of the village (the house where Cervantes was born, the University, the major, La Puerta de Madrid…). We returned to the bus, and we went to Zaragoza. In Zaragoza we visited La Catedral del Pilar very quickly and we finally took the road to Barcelona. We arrived at our city at half past eleven.

This trip was unforgettable. We visited many amazing places, but I think that the most important things are the fantastic experiences that we lived these four days.
