11th April, last day in Madrid

Not so early as in the previous days did we go to Museo Reina Sofía.

We took the underground to go from Gran Via to Atocha Renfe. We watched the modern station and saw the AVE, the fastest train in Spain (300 km per hour); then we visited the old station with its beautiful garden and lots of stands.

Once in Reina Sofía, we observed the different tendencies of modern Spanish paintings, but we especially spent our time watching "Gernika" by Piccaso, and other paintings by Miró, Dalí...

11th April, Burgos - Agorta from J. Carlos Martínez

At 14:00 p.m. we took the coach to Burgos, the Spanish teacher's birth city, a very beautiful city on our way to Bilbao where, as everybody should know, there is one of the most beautiful cathedrals of Spain, if not the most.

And at 20:30 sharp, we arrived at IES Julio Caro Baroja, after watching Bilbao from the highway for the first time, where our Spanish/Basque families were impatiently waiting for us.
