The First day

The first day, our friends from Poland came to our school and we had the first encounters with teachers and students. After we visited the mayor of Cieza and did a brief tour of the old town of Cieza and afternoon and we went hiking. 

The travel was extremely long (16hours), but at the end we were positively surprised by the fantastic welcoming party. We were welcomed  by a whole group of wonderful Spanish teachers and students and we immediately felt at home. The Spanish hosts were really friendly and helpful. We didn’t have any problems with checking into the hotel. Our Spanish colleagues are not only kind and open but they are also a magnificent example of hosts.
