Last week with our new friends from Croatia, Turkey, Portugal and Estonia was a great experience. During these days, we learnt a lot about other and different cultures, made new friends and also heard interesting things we didn’t know about our island.

On Sunday when we had to receive our host, I was really nervous because I didn´t know what was expecting me the  following week: if I would like the people, if they would like me... but in the end there was no reason to be nervous. 

All the week we did a full programm, we went to all the famous places from Tenerife, we visited La Laguna, the Teide National Park, El Medano, the Siam Park, we did sightseeing... We also visited a special hotel adapted for handicaped people, we did interesting workshop at school... In our free time, on Tueday we went all together to the beach and played volleyball, talked, learnt things about them and grew together.

This week has been a new experience for me and I’m glad to be part of this project. I met new people from other countries, I also had the opportunity to meet and know better the people with whom I go to school and share a classroom.

At the last day, we went to the Siam Park and I think this activity was the one in which we grew together most, we overcame together some attractions, talked and laughed a lot and had an awesome time.

I was really surprised to see how hard it could be to say goodbye to people that you only knew for some days, how much a group can grow together in five days and how much you can miss them.

I’m really looking forward to see some people again when I travel in May and I hope I will have the same great experience that we had last week.

I will try to write what it has meant for me to participate in this wonderful Route Docs program of the Erasmus + project, but I must say that it is impossible to express in words all that I have experienced and realized along this intense and beautiful week.

It all started by picking up Stela, a Croatian student, at the airport, to share with me and my family these days. This has been a great experience for me, since in addition to practicing the English language I was able to have the experience of having a sister again.

In this way, I have been able to share with her and other students of the program all that our beloved island of Tenerife offers us. We have been able to enjoy its charm thanks to its diversity, climate, authenticity and, above all, its volcanic origin.

On Monday, we had the opportunity to start with an official act of welcome by authorities, to continue with a guided tour along the High School. Then, in order to get to know the south of the island, its wonderful fine sand beaches that run along most of its coast with its warm temperature and constant sun, we went to the Hotel Mar y Sol located in Los Cristianos and in El Médano, we could observe various water sports, such as Wind surf or Kite surf.

To continue, on Tuesday we were doing different activities in the school, such as choosing the logo of our project, reproduction of the Istanbul video, Job-shadowing, workshop and conference Video and Photography Edition. In the afternoon, all the students of the project went to eat at the beach and spend a good afternoon bathing and laughing.

Wednesday was a very exciting day, as we had the opportunity to head towards Vilaflor, the highest town in Spain, and reach the Teide National Park.

 Here we could go through the typical landscapes in which all the foreigners take photos, as is Roque de García with the volcanic cone in the background. We took a group photo, which was then published in the local newspaper of Arona. We were in the Visitors Center of Cañada Blanca and El Portillo. In the museum we learned about the geological, botanical and archaeological aspects of the Park. Back to our houses we made stops at different viewpoints, such as La Tarta.

 

In order to know the Metropolitan Area, center of the busy life of the island, on Thursday we headed to La Laguna. Place where many of the cultural and leisure events take place, with a rich historical and architectural legacy of Tenerife, with its emblematic museums, squares and parks. We toured the wide pedestrian streets framed by buildings and palaces of La Laguna, the only city of the Canary Islands that has been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1999, which moved us several centuries ago. We end the day moving to La Orotava, to visit the Tajinaste Winery located in volcanic land of the island that gives its wines unique tonalities and character. Highlighting the Malvasia, berry used since ancient times to elaborate the precious Canary wines that were exported to Europe and writers like William Shakespeare and Walter Scott make reference in their works.

With four intense days behind us, Friday arrived. During this day we were able to visit the Aloe Park to end the exciting visit to Siam Park. We enjoyed the different attractions very much and we were able to strengthen bonds of friendship with all the young people of the project. Finally, the Canarian mothers and fathers gave us a succulent farewell dinner with the collaboration of musical acts by teacher Esmeralda and the student Luna, who delighted us and made us spend an unforgettable farewell.

I have been very happy to participate in this project and week, which has given us the opportunity to show our island of Tenerife with its authentic traditions, parties, cuisine and friendly people that characterizes it.

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to participate.

Dear Erasmus + committee,

   Last week was an amazing and unforgettable week from the first day to de last one.

I met a lot of people and I made a lot of friends too.

   The first day in the project I was a little bit nervous. I went with my parents to the airport to pick my girl up.

When she was already with us, we went back home. The girl was nervous too. That day we didn’t do anything special because she was very tired. We only went to a restaurant to have lunch with my family and then, in the afternoon, we went to Los Cristianos to meet with my friends and hers.

   That night we went to sleep so early because she was very tired and me too.

   The following days we went to different places from Tenerife like El Médano, La Laguna, Vilaflor...

Sometimes we went by foot, but mostly by bus. Some places were more interesting than others. My favorite one was La Orotava. I never have been there. The weather is cold and wet and the ground is very green.

   The last day was funny but a little bit sad too because they started going back home. That day there was a party in the high school. After that party, we went to the beach and we spent all night there, having fun.

   My girl was a bit shy and very friendly. The first days we both were shy to each other, but along the week we started being less shy. The bad thing is that we couldn’t communicate at all because she didn’t understand me, but it was funny because we spoke with signs. She was a good girl, very polite.

   And finally, I want to say thank you to Erasmus + committee for choosing me for this project and have the opportunity of meeting people from different countries and cultures and thank you to Sandra, for make the project happen.

Estimada Sandra:

Me siento afortunada de formar parte de este proyecto ERASMUS+, ya que considero que es una experiencia inolvidable.

Hasta ahora he tenido la oportunidad de recibir a Melis, una chica turca.

Unos minutos antes de que la viera en el aeropuerto, yo estaba nerviosa pero a la vez ansiosa de conocerla. Cuando llegó el momento esperado, me sentí más tranquila porque vi que la chica vino hacia mí para darme un gran abrazo.

Durante la semana realizamos numerosas actividades en grupo, como visitar el instituto y enseñárselo con una guía hecha por los alumnos españoles y también hicimos varios talleres, como clases de español para los extranjeros y otro taller, donde los estonios nos enseñaron programas de edición de video y fotografía. Otras actividades realizadas fueron, visitar el Teide, el norte de la isla, el Aloe Park, el Siam Park, Vilaflor, la Bodega Tajinaste, El Médano y el Hotel Mar y Sol.

Lo que más me ha gustado ha sido la experiencia de convivir con una persona de otro país que no conocía de nada, observar las distintas costumbres y la comunicación en otro idioma.
