MAGIC BAVARIA

Lidia, Magdalena, Ana and Juan Carlos would like to tell the Comenius mates some words after their magic trip to Lauterhofen:

The week in Lauterhofen was like a dream. I had never stayed abroad before and I had never met such nice people as you. I laughed, I cried of joy... The places, the activities, but, above all the people made the week in Lauterhofen be The best week in my life! It has been an unforgettable experience. I hope I will see everybody who made this dream possible again.
I have to say thank you because if you hadn't been there, I wouldn't feel like now, so happy.
I hope you will enjoy your visit to Spain as much as I enjoyed mine in Germany.
I will never forget you. Looking forward to seeing you here.
Love, LidiaLidia logged a great video: Alemania 08
We have met many people -better to say- good people that we will never forget.
As soon as we arrived in Lautherhofen, we knew that the week would be great.

... and now we realise that we were right!













Lauterhofen is a very calm village, we would like to live in a place like this! The houses, the beautiful sites, meals... everything was different to us.








People made us feel like home. Each word, each action, each joke ... was nice and funny.
Every day we spent there passed quickly. When you are having fun, time is spent very fast.

The only negative aspect in the week was the farewell, when we had to say "goodbye" to our mates... really sad :(
But October will come soon! We're looking forward your visit impatiently, to see our new friends and guests. We're preparing everything to have it ready for you.
We miss you all much.
Bye bye. Love,
Magdalena, Ana, Juan Carlos

CORDOBA'S MAY FESTIVALS

POPULAR CROSSES CONTEST

In the first week of May, one of the best-known festivals, the Crosses Contest, is held. It opens Cordoba’s festival programme in May. In it, many squares of the city are decorated with crosses made of flowers by members of peñas (clubs), and religious brotherhoods. Besides, bars with drinks and food are placed nearby playing sevillanas (folkloric flamenco dance), in which Cordobesian people and visitors linger and enjoy the splendour of this particular festivity day and night.

The typical drink for these hot days: A blending of fino wine (sweet white wine) and soda. Meals are organised around barrels on which different dishes are set, as you can see on the picture.
FESTIVAL OF PATIOS
The Popular Contest of Patios (interior courtyards of typical Andalusian houses) is one of the most singular festivals that take place in Spain, to the point that it attracts both Spanish and foreigner visitors. They come to share some days with Cordobesian people when the spring light is appreciated through a wide range of colours in the patios.
Here, many private courtyards are opened to visitors by the owners of the houses who, after a long and non-profitable tradition of dedication to flowers, provide the city with a singular exhibition.
