Tamborada of Hellin

Not for the faint hearted, The 'Tamborada’ of Hellín, is a very noisy event and is one of the most famous and well-known celebrations in the province of Albacete, where adults and children take to the streets of the town, their number exceeding 20,000 drummers, wearing black tunics with a red neckerchief or a black hood. The first drumming session takes place on the night of the Friday before Palm Sunday, when they celebrate the Via Crucis of the Torches. As a preparation and in order to warm up the drums, an increasing number of drummers head towards the Calvary without their black tunics, in a pilgrimage that lasts until the wee hours of the following day. The Wednesday right before Holy Thursday , at three pm, begins the second big drumming session. All the people flock to the streets, wearing their tunics and carrying their drums and, in groups of friends, they walk through the streets of town until 11 pm, which marks the beginning of the procession of the Oración del Huerto [Prayer in the Grove].

Easter in Hellin

Easter week is one of the most heartfelt and deep-rooted fiestas celebrated in Spain. This commemoration has centuries of history and tradition, remembering the passion and death of Jesus Christ. The streets of the majority of Spain's cities, towns and villages become the stage for religious fervour and devotion, combining grief and meditation in memory of Christ's death. Music, art and colour come together in magical processions - solemn parades in which crowds of people accompany religious images on their route through the street.

Video conference

COMENIUS' LATEST NEWS

On Friday 9th March our first student videoconference took place. Nine groups of pupils from all country partners communicated among them for the first time without knowing each other first. Despite the unsurpresive initial shyness of kids and some connection problems, the videoconfernce was a success. Each group talked for some time with the rest of groups. The topics of conversation were simple; they talked about themselves, their age, names, the weather, the visit to Poland, football, said "hello" to exhaustion, and gesticulated hearts with their hands, there will be for sure other experiences that reporters don't know. The videoconference lasted a long hour. According to the information received from local coordinators, Comenian students enjoyed this experience a lot. They want to repeat, their classmates want to try it and those who went to Ambert want to contact through videoconference with the Comenius friends they made there. This "healthy jellowsy" is a symptom that an important objective of this project is being achieved: Students wish to communicate!!! Let's water this plant.

Campo de Criptana (La Mancha-Spain)

Campo de Criptana is a municipality and town in the province of Ciudad Real in the autonomous community of Castilla-La Mancha (Spain). It is found in the region known as La Mancha. 

 "At this point they caught sight of thirty or forty windmills which were standing on the plain..." Thus begins chapter VIII of Don Quixote. In Cervantes' time windmills were quite common. This view is undoubtedly the characteristic landscape of Campo de Criptana, presenting its silhouette from the Sierra de los Molinos and the Cerro de la Paz. Today, ten windmills can be seen from afar, with their original structure and machinery preserved.
