TRIP TO VILLENA

On 18th December the students of ESO 1st E and 2ndE from our secondary school paid a cultural visit to the town of Villena.

Once there, we went to Ruperto Chapí´s Park, where we had a mid-morning snack, played and rested.

After this, we headed to the Local Tourist Information Centre to watch a video about how Villena has evolved through the time in buildings, culture…

Then, we went to Atalaya´s Castle and, in English, we learnt how the Christians lived and protected themselves from invaders, besides contemplating the four floors of the amazing castle.

Later, we visited the Archaeological Museum ”José María Soler” and we were explained, in Valencian, what objects are preserved from previous civilizations. Also, we looked another video about “The treasure of Villena” and we saw it physically.

Finally, we walked to Festero´s Museum where we were explained, also in English, the clothing used by the Moors and Christians in the festive parades and we saw images about these parades (what the people do, what traditions they have, how they behave…)

So, basically, with these words I’d like you to know how interesting and instructive our cultural trip to Villena was.
