A DIFFERENT XMAS. AN AMERICAN IN PARIS
Matthew, our linguistic assistant, tells us about his experience travelling to
the north of Europe
During his Xmas trip, Matthew
stayed in The Netherlands,
France, Belgium and Germany.
On Christmas Eve he had
dinner in a friend's house in
The Netherlands. The friend's
name was Alvaro and he was from Mexico.
They he had a big party!
On new Year's Eve, he stayed in Paris and
celebrated the New Year there. He visited
Notre Dame, Pompadour Centre. He said it
was fantastic, beautiful and different,
especially the Sacre Coeur, the church. He
visited the Eiffel Tower where he
celebrated the New Year. He didn’t stay
with other people from Spain, because his
friends were from America.
He says that considering all the places he
has visited, he prefers The Netherlands
because the life there is very calm and he
says it’s fantastic, although his favourite
place will always be SPAIN!!!

TORTILLA DE PATATAS
A classic among the classics in Spanish tables, here is a way to
help “guiris” and locals enjoy a healthy and wonderful recipe.
The tortilla is a way of life in Spain. Here is a simple recipe to cook a
wonderful Spanish omelette.
For 4 to 6 persons: 1 cup of olive oil, 4 large potatoes (peel and cut in
circle about 2 mm thick) salt to taste, one large onion, thinly sliced,
four large eggs.
Some people add thin slices of red peper together with the onion.
Heat the oil in 9-inch skillet, add potatoes, one slice at a time so that they don't stick. Alternate
layers of potato and onion. Cook slowly, medium flame. Do not burn. Turn occasionally until potatoes
are tender, but not brown. They must be loose, not caked together. Beat eggs in a large bowl with a
fork, salt to taste. Drain potatoes. Add potatoes to beaten eggs, pressing them so that eggs cover
them completely. Let it sit for a few minutes. Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in large skillet. Add
potatoes-eggs mixture, spreading quickly. Lower the heat to medium. Shake pan to prevet sticking.
When eggs start to brown, put a plate over the skillet, turn it over, adding another tablespoon of oil.
Brown on the other side. Can flip three or tour times for better cooking.

On the 31st of October, the students of the I.E.S. Sierra Nevada celebrated Halloween’s day. In
English class, we learned the origin of this party. It was a Celtic tradition. They celebrated New
Year’s party this day, and they made bonfires to banish the dead men.
We made a pumpkin lantern, too. It was very entertaining! First, we removed the pips and cleaned
the interior of the pumpkin. Later, we made the mouth, the eyes and the nose. Finally, we put a
candle in the interior. We liked it very much! Some students made pumpkin lanterns. Very nice!
WE LIKED THE ACTIVITY AND WE WANT TO DO IT AGAIN. WE LIKE
HALLOWEEN!!!

IDIOMAS Y JUVENTUD 2007
GLASGOW!
Last summer the scholarship “IDIOMAS
Y JUVENTUD" was given to me and I
went away to Glasgow, Scotland, which is
the place that was assigned to me.
circle was extended and we formed a good
group.
I was alone because the scholarship
wasn’t given to many people of my High
School, but this wasn’t important. It’s
true that everybody who went to Glasgow
was from Germany and was already
friends because almost all of them were
from the same High School. Nonetheless,
I met two girls with whom I spoke by an
Internet forum. So I was with them from
the beginning, but soon the friends'

We went out of the airport of Malaga and
after three hours of travelling, we arrived
to Edinburgh and from there went to
Glasgow, to our residence.
The routine there was always the same: in
the morning there were classes, in the
afternoon we did different activities
(excursions, sport, swimming..) and at night,
we sometimes went to disco (in our own
residence, ha ha) or played different
games.
Centring now on the place where I was,
Glasgow is a nice city, the biggest of
Scotland, placed in the valley of the river
Clyde (which happened to be next to our
residence). The city has many points of
tourist interest like museums, art galleries
and centres of art, some of which we
visited. But also there is an infinite number
of shops, restaurants, bars, etc.
Not only in Glasgow is it nice and charming, but
in the whole of Scotland. Like I said before, we
did some excursions, and in these we visited
Edinburgh and Stirling going to several castles,
because this zone is characterized by its
castles, which have interesting histories…
But, also, typical in Scotland are its lakes, and
though we wanted to visit Loch Ness and to see
his famous monster, we couldn’t. But we went
to another, the Loch Lomond, striking too.
It’s without question and to finish, it was two
intense weeks, the time happened very
quickly and everybody finished the trip very
happy.

TRIP TO LA ALHAMBRA
On the 22nd of February we went on a
beautiful trip to La Alhambra.
There, we saw the buildings and we
knew her history thanks to our “guide”
Mathew.
We had a very good time and the
travel is unforgettable.

TRIP TO LONDON 2007
Hello!
Sebastián and Mª del Mar here, and we
are going to tell you our experience about
our London trip with “Idiomas y
Juventud”.
We went to Málaga by bus with many
teenagers to take the plane.
We spent two weeks in a college residence
which was 20 minutes from the centre of
the city. In this time we met many people
from different countries around the
world, like Italians, Chinese and Turkish...
We visited different places: museums,
Brighton, Cambridge, the Camden Town,
Trafalgar square, the Royal Observatory,
Buckingham Palace...
In short, we had fun and we recommend it.
We suggest you bring an umbrella, a coat and
some food in case you don’t like the food (But
in my opinion it was good).
Change euros to pounds in Spain because it
will be more comfortable. We recommend you
take around 250€ if you want to buy some
presents for your family or any friends.

ALHAMBRA’S VEGETATION
Geographically, the Alhambra is set on the flat
summit of a very pronounced hill with exquisite
vegetation which, although not native, enriches
the landscape.
and heritage complement each other and
became a very distinctive hallmark.
The Alhambra, like a few other places in
Andalusia, offers a unique opportunity to
contemplate medieval Islamic gardens.
1.
Nasrid gardens:
A) Patio de los Arrayanes, (the present day
myrtles which give their name to the
courtyard). Arrayán is an Arabic word which is
equivalent to English word myrtle, which is a
sweet-smelling hedge or bush.
These gardens, which still preserve some of
the original designs, have witnessed many
historical events. These moments from the
past come alive when we consider that the
gardens are living, forever changing, and what
we see today is a result of what has been done
through the centuries.
However, we can still get an idea of how the
Arabs combined architecture with landscaped
gardens as a means of seducing the senses
with courtyards and exquisite archways, water
feature, flower beds, little orchards of fruit
trees and dense, shady groves. This is the
Muslim concept of garden, which is essentially
an illusion outside of the world, nature in a
dreamlike state, and above all, the desire to
reproduce Paradise on Earth.
This concept of the garden, reflected in the
Koran, is also expressed in one of the verses
carved into the frieze around the archway
that leads into the north pavilion of the Water
Channel Courtyard (Patio de la Acequia) in the
Generalife:
Believers shall enter into gardens through
which clear streams flow (los creyentes serán
introducidos en jardines por los cuales corren
claros arroyos)
In the Alhambra there are 300 species of
plants distributed among its gardens. Nature
What different styles of gardens are there?
B) Patio de los Leones. The courtyard is
symbolic of the Islamic Paradise: a spring in
the centre from which four channels depart.
C) Patio de la Acequia. Herbs and fruit trees
share the freshness of the water from the
channels with cypress trees, rose bushes and
other plants.
2.
Renaissance gardens:
A) Jardín de los Adarves: This 17th century
garden was created under the southern wall of
the Alcazaba.
B) Patio de Lindaraja: This old Nasrid garden
was converted into a courtyard and features a
classical Italian fountain in the centre.
3.
Romantic garden:
A) Paseo de los Cipreses: This walk was
created during the second half of the 19th
century, when the cypress became a symbol of
Granada.
4.
Modern garden:
A) Jardines del Partal. Garden from the first
third of the 20th century designed by the
architect Torras Balbás.
B)
Gardens in the lower part of the
Generalife. This 20th century garden is
composed of symmetrical areas of vegetation.
