			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Del 11 de septiembre al 1 de octubre nos visitó un grupo de 18 estudiantes del <strong>Istituto Vilfredo Pareto de Palermo</strong>, para realizar un curso de preparación al examen oficial del Instituto Cervantes, el DELE, a través de un programa con fondos de la Unión Europea.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" title="Istituto Vilfredo Pareto - Palermo" src="http://spanish-blog.tandem-madrid.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/vpareto-oct11-prado.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="440" /></p>
<p>Fueron tres semanas muy intensas, de mucho estudio y también mucha diversión, en la que los estudiantes conocieron Madrid a fondo y participaron en diversas e interesantes actividades culturales.. (continúa)<span id="more-441"></span></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" title="En la Plaza Mayor - Madrid" src="http://spanish-blog.tandem-madrid.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/vpareto-oct11-plaza-mayor.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="450" /></p>

<p>Sus profesoras, Anna Cosenza y María Pía, estuvieron en todo momento atentas al desarrollo del curso y fueron un gran apoyo para la organización de TANDEM.</p>
<p>Aquí tenéis un breve texto de una de las alumnas:</p>
<blockquote><p>Las tres semanas que vivía es Espana, fueron muy intensos.<br />
La escuela donde fue el curso, Tándem, es una escuela en la que los profesores son muy preparados y amables.Personalmente, la experiencia en Madrid me ha dado cuenta de que conocer y saber hablar una lengua importante como el espanol es fundamental en la vida de un estudiante. Espana es un país lleno de sentimiento y emoción.Gracias, porque si todo ha sido tan hermoso, mérito es también vuestro. <strong>Carlotta Bovì</strong></p></blockquote>

<p><strong>Les enviamos un saludo muy cordial a todo, ¡suerte en el examen! </strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Our trip to Tandem was extremely enjoyable. It was an absolute pleasure to spend  a week with our host families who were all welcoming, friendly and could not do enough to help us. The trip was a wonderful balance between education and culture.</p>
<div class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 560px"><img title="En clase de español con el profesor Rubén" src="http://spanish-blog.tandem-madrid.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/manchester-spring-11-01.jpg" alt="En clase de español con el profesor Rubén" width="550" height="413" /><p class="wp-caption-text">En clase de español con el profesor Rubén</p></div>
<p>The lessons given by the teachers at Tandem were engaging and most of all had a positive atmosphere which was in the large part down to the friendly personalities of the teachers, combined with their admirable knowledge and original teaching methods.</p>
<div class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 560px"><img title="Clase de cocina española" src="http://spanish-blog.tandem-madrid.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/manchester-spring-11-02.jpg" alt="Clase de cocina española" width="550" height="403" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Clase de cocina española</p></div>
<p>The excursions in Madrid, whether it be to the picturesque views and character of the old capital or further afield to Toledo were all expertly planned and executed. Overall, the whole experience was both enjoyable and linguistically hugely beneficial – a never-to-be-forgotten experience.</p>
<div class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 560px"><img title="Visita al Estadio Santiago Bernabeu" src="http://spanish-blog.tandem-madrid.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/manchester-spring-11-03.jpg" alt="Visita al Estadio Santiago Bernabeu" width="550" height="413" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Visita al Estadio Santiago Bernabeu</p></div>
<p>My own favourites, apart from getting to grips with the imperfect subjunctive, were the chance to see Real  Madrid win at home, the Bernabeu stadium tour and an afternoon at a cookery school where we learnt how to make aubergines with honey, different types of paella and crème caramel. Mmm, I want to go back.</p>

<p>Se dan clases siempre diferentes y actividades culturales que ocasionan la posibilidad de aprender de manera divertida. Y como si fuera poco, los profesores no solo nos han ayudado a eliminar las dificultades de hablar en español, sino también nos han aconsejado  bonitos lugares donde disfrutar de la movida madrileña bebiendo unas copitas e incluso nos han acompañado por las calles más típicas de Madrid.  Por todo esto, queremos darles las gracias.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Este año hemos tenido de nuevo el placer de recibir la visita de los alumnos de <a href="http://www.mgs.org/" target="_blank">Manchester Grammar School</a>, con su profesor <strong>Richard Simpson</strong>.</p>
<p>Queremos agradecer a esta escuela la confianza que depositan en <strong>TANDEM</strong> desde hace muchos años. El programa fue muy interesante y los alumnos aprendieron mucho español. Podéis leer su testimonio más abajo.</p>

<p><em>The Spanish Trip to Madrid was a great experience,  improving our Spanish  beyond recognition.</em></p>
<p><em>The host school,  Escuela Tandem, is right in the heart of the city and was where our classes were to be based. On arrival we met our host families – worse than a blind date – who were to look after us for the week.  We all struck it lucky as they really took care of us.  On the first night we were taken to a karaoke bar where we performed songs in Spanish such as Angels by Robbie Williams. Fortunately no-one was listening.<span id="more-287"></span>The next morning we all met at Escuela Tandem where we were introduced to our teachers, Natalia and Ruben, who taught us for the duration of our stay. However, one of us (Dylan Rose), made it to the lesson 40 minutes late, very red in the face, having been overcharged by a taxi driver and then fighting with him (verbally of course!). The afternoon was very interesting, as  we visited the famous Prado museum. Led by our guide Sonia, we gained incredible insight into Spanish Art, especially the work of Goya.</em></p>
<p><em>Our 3rd Day in Madrid was spent in Toledo, the old capital of Spain; a beautiful city which is rich in culture. Once again Sonia was our guide and she expertly explained the various phases that Toledo has seen and the reasons as to why it was the capital of Spain. Our improving Spanish enabled us to haggle with a waiter in a restaurant, especially satisfying as he tried to rip us off! The highlight of the day, however, was the tour of Toledo on a road train, from which where we got to see how beautiful the whole city is.</em></p>
<p><a href="http://spanish-blog.tandem-madrid.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/clase-de-cocina.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-291" title="clase-de-cocina" src="http://spanish-blog.tandem-madrid.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/clase-de-cocina.jpg" alt="Clase de cocina" width="550" height="682" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://spanish-blog.tandem-madrid.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/don-quijote-sancho.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-289" title="don-quijote-sancho" src="http://spanish-blog.tandem-madrid.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/don-quijote-sancho.jpg" alt="Con Don Quijote y Sancho Panza" width="550" height="413" /></a><br />
<em>Sunday (the next day) was split into three. First we visited the  Madrid version of Portobello Market, called EL RASTRO, where we invested  in tee-shirts with wonderfully inappropriate Spanish slogans. This  market was incredible simply because it was so cheap and you could find  all the tacky items that tourists want to buy!  We then took the train  from Atocha station to Alcala de Henares, birthplace of Cervantes and  home to one of Spain’s most beautiful and prestigious universities.  In  the shadow of dreaming Spanish spires we watched the storks circling and  ate our ice creams.  The trip was worth it for those wonderfully  relaxing moments alone. </em></p>
<p><em>Later on that day, back in Madrid, we went to  El Parque Retiro, where we played football for a few hours and soaked up  the late afternoon sun.  Antonio Yoo managed to set a record by queuing  35 minutes for a toilet, or so he said. It may have been the ice cream. </em></p>
<p><em>Monday was perhaps the best day as after our morning classes, we  went to the Santiago Bernabeu stadium, the home of Real Madrid, where we  went through the museum, took many photos, acted like the team by  running out from the tunnel, pretended to take questions during a press  conference and bought clothes and football items from the megastore. All  in all this was a great day and was topped off by a fantastic Madrid  derby between Real and Atletico, which we watched in a restaurant.</em></p>
<p><em>Tuesday  was our penultimate day, where we had classes in the morning and then  free time to pack and roam around Madrid. Not being adventurous  shoppers, we settled for El  Top Man and Los Dunkin Donuts.   I would be  doing this report an injustice if I didn’t mention the fact that we had  falafel sandwiches from the most incredible place called Maoz, every  day! The best food we had in Spain! We regrouped at Escuela Tandem and  were led to a restaurant where we were given cooking lessons. We learnt  how to make paella, traditional omelettes (potato) and a dessert too.  Over a hot cooker we got into a rowdy conversation with a German student  about that night’s  Manchester United vs. Bayern Munich game …of course  Bayern won and we were humiliated but it was still a great night to end  the trip on.</em></p>
<p><em>Our last day came to a close with two more classes, one  with each teacher, with the group leaving straight after this to come  back home. The two teachers, Ruben and Natalia were superb and taught us  a variety of very useful things, ranging from some basic work on the  first day, to in-depth descriptive phrases, to getting us to describe  our favourite Spaniard in detail. The lessons were very relaxed and  enjoyable, as both teachers paced them perfectly. Of course, there were  some hilarious comments during the trip, one of which was Adam Talbot on  the tube: “this is like the tube in London but the tube in London is  ‘tubier’”.  Actually, he’s right.</em></p>
<p><em>On behalf of Antonio Yoo, Adam  Talbot, Mark Kelly and Dylan Rose, I would like to say a really big  thank you to Mr. Simpson and Mrs. Thornber for giving up their free time  to come with us.</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Kommentar der Organisatorin der Sprachreise der 7A+B-Klasse (17-Jährige) des Reithmanngymnasiums in Innsbruck Mag. Helga Gärtner:</strong></p>
<p>Wie in den vergangenen Jahren hat auch diesmal die Organisation des Aufenthalts in Madrid vorbildlich geklappt!</p>
<p>1. 20 Schülerinnen und Schüler wurden in Gastfamilien untergebracht mit Berücksichtigung der Essensgewohnheiten&gt;z.B.Vegetarier</p>
<p>2. Ein Quartier hat den Erfordernissen nicht gleich entsprochen,daher wurde sofort für einen Wohnungswechsel gesorgt!</p>

<p>3. Das Unterrichtsprogramm wurde den Wünschen der Spanischprofessorin angepaßt und unter anderem auch Interviews auf der Straße durchgeführt &gt; dieser Kontakt mit der Bevölkerung hat den Schülern sehr gut gefallen!<span id="more-70"></span>4. Im Bereich des Kulturprogramms hat man sich bemüht die wichtigsten Sehenswürdigkeiten von Madrid zu zeigen und einen Einblick in das spanische Leben zu geben!</p>

<p>5. Der Austausch mit spanischen Schülern hat auch zu Treffen mit diesen außerhalb der Schule geführt!</p>
<p>6. Ein Schüler,der bereits 6 Monate in Madrid zur Schule ging,mit der Klasse aber beisammen sein wollte,bekam während des Sprachkurses die Gelegenheit im Sekretariat etwas mitzuhelfen&gt; danke!</p>
<p>7. Die Begeisterung der Schüler am Ende der Woche nach einer Fahrt nach Toledo und dem Besuch des Rastro war so gross,dass einige in den Ferien nochmals nach Madrid reisen möchten!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>*****</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>2009-Bericht über die Sprachreise nach Madrid + Toledo 7A + 7B- Klasse</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Um 8h. <strong><em>partimos</em></strong> mit <strong><em>el autobus</em></strong> nach Munich. Dort erwartete uns <strong><em>el avión</em></strong>. <strong><em>El vuelo</em></strong>, der Flug, dauerte<strong><em> dos horas</em></strong> und war <strong><em>muy bien</em></strong>!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong><em>Por la mañana</em></strong> war das Wetter frisch aber im Laufe der <strong><em>días</em></strong> erreichten die <strong><em>temperaturas</em></strong> bis 35°!  <strong><em>Que calor!</em></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong><em>La comida española</em></strong> ist sehr gut, besonders die <em><strong>Paella</strong>&#8230;</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><img class="aligncenter" title="Comiendo Paella" src="http://www.tandem-madrid.com/spanish-blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/g-reithmanngymnasium-paella.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="338" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Wir besuchten eine spanische Sprachschule, <strong><em>una escuela de idiomas</em></strong>, <strong><em>en Madrid</em></strong>. Wir mussten jeden Tag zur <strong><em>escuela Tandem</em></strong>, die uns sehr gefiel.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Dort sprachen wir über <strong><em>costumbres</em></strong>, die Bräuche der Spanier und <strong><em>los jovenes</em></strong>, die Jugendkultur. Wir mussten auch ein interview, <strong><em>una entrevista</em></strong>,  mit den Einheimischen machen. Wir waren aufgeteilt in <strong><em>dos grupos</em></strong> und los <strong><em>profes Rubén y Natalia</em></strong>; die sehr <strong><em>simpáticos</em></strong> waren, unterrichteten uns von 9.30h bis 13h. Am  letzten Schultag, am <strong><em>viernes</em></strong>, machten wir <strong><em>presentaciones</em></strong>, das heißt wir präsentierten unsere Arbeiten. Es war eine <strong><em>experiencia</em></strong> sehr  <strong><em>interesante</em></strong>! Mit einem  <strong><em>Hola chicas</em></strong>!  wurden wir jeden <strong><em>día</em></strong> begrüßt.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><img class="aligncenter" title="En clase" src="http://www.tandem-madrid.com/spanish-blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/g-reithmanngymnasium-clase-1.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="319" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong><em>Los españoles</em></strong> sind  <strong><em>más abiertos</em></strong>, offener, als los austriacos. und auch sehr hilfsbereit und <strong><em>amables</em></strong>.  Und sie sprechen sehr laut auf den <strong><em>calles</em></strong> der Großstadt!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Die Schule Tandem ist in der Nähe <strong><em>del centro de Madrid</em></strong>, das <strong><em>Puerta del Sol</em></strong> heißt.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong><em>La cultura en Espana</em></strong> ist sehr unterschiedlich zu unserer. Wir besichtigten das Stadtviertel <strong><em>Madrid de los Austrias</em></strong>, das <strong><em>Madrid de los Borbones</em></strong>, das <strong><em>Museo del Prado</em></strong>, die alte Hauptstadt <strong><em>Toledo</em></strong> mit Sonja und sahen uns sogar das berühmte Fußballstadium <strong><em>Bernabéu</em></strong>, so wie das neueste <strong><em>Museum Caixa Forum</em></strong> an.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Wir haben viele <strong><em>informaciones</em></strong> gesammelt über <strong><em>la cultura</em></strong> und <strong><em>la gente de España</em></strong>. Etwas <strong><em>típico español</em></strong> ist <strong><em>el flamenco</em></strong>, <strong><em>la paella y la tortilla de patatas.</em></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><img class="aligncenter" title="Aprendiendo Flamenco" src="http://www.tandem-madrid.com/spanish-blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/g-reithmanngymnasium-clase-flamenco.jpg" alt="" width="459" height="278" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong><em>La movida</em></strong>, das Nachtleben, ist <strong><em>más interesante</em></strong> als in Österreich. <strong><em>La gente</em></strong> gehen im Allgemeinen sehr spät aus, auch das ist <strong><em>muy típico</em></strong> und auch das kennen  wir jetzt. <strong><em>En total</em></strong>,  war es eine sehr bereichernde experiencia!  <strong><em>!Viva España</em></strong>!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Wir bedanken uns herzlich beim JUFF für die großzügige Unterstützung, so wie bei der Tirolwerbung für die zahlreichen Broschüren!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">As part of a school trip I spent 20 hours being taught some spine-tingling subjunctive, other pieces of articulate grammar and some extremely useful oral ideas at ‘La Escuela Tandem.’ On our immediate arrival we received folders outlining our housing and family information and we were picked up within moments by our family. The atmosphere in the car ride up to the school had been very eerie, but this was quashed on arrival due to the friendly and warm atmosphere of the people in the school and the magnificent school building itself. The families were all so welcoming in their own different ways. I was lucky enough to stay in some fantastic accommodation, only 10 minutes away from the school which was ideal.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="aligncenter" title="Alumnos del grupo Manchester en el Estanque del Retiro" src="http://www.tandem-madrid.com/spanish-blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/g-manchester-retiro.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="349" /><span id="more-52"></span>In the mornings from 9.30am through to 1pm we were taught Spanish by two phenomenal teachers, Juan and Belen. They were so energetic and eager to get us involved and this shone through in some exquisite Spanish phrases we came up with, all of which were extremely useful to us for our exams. Also it was ideal to practice our listening skills and to communicate with a proper Spanish local. We studied themes such as family and relationships, media and popular culture. I can speak on behalf of my friends when I say it was without doubt extremely useful and enjoyable.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="aligncenter" title="Vistia al estadio del Real Madrid" src="http://www.tandem-madrid.com/spanish-blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/g-manchester-real-madrid.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="350" />We saw all of the El Greco, Velázquez, Goya, Picasso, and Miró displays in both the Prado Museum and the Reina Sofia and they were captivating and I speak on behalf of the school group when I say it was much more enjoyable than expected. What’s more, our guide Sonia certainly enjoyed talking about each of the pieces and this shone through as she threw massive amounts of information at us in such a small frame of time, which made the trip even more worthwhile! It was Sonia again who was our guide when we visited Toledo, the old capital of Spain, by the AVE high speed train. Toledo was picture-perfect and its beauty shone down with the beaming sun. There were hundreds of picturesque buildings, which dare I say would rival the architectural genius of Gaudi in Barcelona? The organization was superb and we all had a fantastic time.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Back in Tandem we also took part in a clown class with a Basque actor called ‘Axon’.  It was a big hit with all of the boys and all our throats were sore after having to scream and growl like a samurai warrior!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="aligncenter" title="Grupo de Manchester en clase" src="http://www.tandem-madrid.com/spanish-blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/g-manchester-clase.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="352" />On behalf of The Manchester Grammar School I would like to extend our gratitude to ‘La Escuela Tandem’ for all their hard work and effort in designing a perfect package for each individual. I would thoroughly recommend it!&#8217;</p>

<p><strong>Carta de la profesora de español Beatriz Gomez a Begoña Llovet, directora de TANDEM Madrid:</strong></p>
<p>Estimada Begoña:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Quiero a través de la presente carta expresarte mi gratitud por toda la ayuda que el personal académico y administrativo de Tándem me ha prestado a mí y a mi universidad, Elmhurst College, el último año. Desde nuestro primer encuentro en enero del 2008 fuisteis tremendamente profesionales y efectivos y me facilitásteis la información y material necesarios para que yo pudiera tomar la decisión de escogeros como escuela de idiomas para mis estudiantes en su viaje a Madrid durante el mes de enero del 2009.</p>
<p><span id="more-37"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Los meses previos a nuestra visita, tanto tú como Merche y Marina organizásteis muy eficazmente el programa académico, cultural y de estadía. La comunicación entre nosotras siempre fue muy abierta. Aprecio la prontitud en que recibí vuestras respuestas y la capacidad que siempre demostrásteis para acomodar mis peticiones de diversa índole.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">La experiencia que ofrecisteis a mis estudiantes fue francamente maravillosa. De manera general, las familias elegidas por Marina se comportaron de manera generosa y actuaron como verdaderos anfitriones.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" title="Grupo Elmhurst en clase" src="http://www.tandem-madrid.com/spanish-blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/gurpo-elmhurst-en-clase.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="277" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Los profesores que impartieron las clases igualmente demostraron constantemente su profesionalidad y calidad pedagógica. Los estudiantes aun recuerdan con tremendo cariño a Mario, quien consiguió establecer una relación cordial con todos ellos.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">El programa cultural facilitó muchas experiencias a los estudiantes a las que de otro modo no hubieran podido acceder. Muchos de ellos recuerdan vividamente la excursión al mercado, la lección de baile flamenco y los múltiples paseos didácticos. Las visitas culturales a museos y las excursiones de fin de semana resultaron un auténtico placer. Sonia, nuestra maravillosa guía, siempre nos ayudó en todo lo posible para que las visitas fueran lo más productivas y amenas posible.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><object width="320" height="265" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/v4YY2K8BX50&amp;hl=es&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0x5d1719&amp;color2=0xcd311b" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/v4YY2K8BX50&amp;hl=es&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0x5d1719&amp;color2=0xcd311b" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /></object></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Finalmente, me resultó invaluable la accesibilidad de todo el personal de Tándem que siempre se mostró dispuesto a ayudarme a mí y a mi grupo con los problemas diversos que se nos presentaron. Vuestra alegría, dinamismo, efectividad y profesionalidad os destaca. Espero tener la oportunidad de volver a usar vuestros servicios en enero del 2011. Hasta entonces, recibe un saludo muy cordial y por favor hazlo extensivo a todo el personal.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It was a chilly night in Madrid as a group of exhausted, yet ecstatic students made their way out of Barajas international airport. A 7 hour flight might have drained their energies, but not their spirits, as their excitement was clearly visible.</p>
<p align="center"><img src="http://www.tandem-madrid.com/news/data/upimages/al-jazeera-dic08-a.jpg" border="0" alt="" align="none" /></p>
<p><span id="more-6"></span></p>
<p>The 11th of December to the 21st December saw the departure of 11 AJA students accompanied by Miss Carmen and Ms Lynn on an unforgettable trip to Spain. The trip served as an exemplar on how education and fun can collaborate on such a level. The purpose of the trip was to attend lessons at Tandem Madrid, an international school of language based in the city. Moreover students also took part in numerous activities, ranging from hiking, to cooking and theatre. These activities were designed specifically to enhance spoken Spanish and also to serve as CAS for the IB students.</p>
<p>The trip was unique as it gave students the opportunity to live like Spaniards. Literally. Students were housed with Spanish host families which therefore put their Spanish skills to the ideal test. We were required to communicate entirely in Spanish, be it in the &#8220;metro&#8221; (subway), at school or simply dining at a restaurant. And the progress made by some us was quite remarkable. Students who had never studied Spanish were, at the end of the trip, able to communicate on a basic level. </p>
<p>What posed as a challenge for a lot of us was the fact that the level of responsibility given to us had certainly increased. However, this responsibility, rather than being a burden, became an adventure. We were required wake up, and get prepared accordingly, in order to reach the school everyday at 9:00. The school was located conveniently in the heart of Madrid, near Sol. The various methods of transportation in the city meant that it wasn’t difficult getting around. However the best way to travel was definitely through the Metro.</p>
<p>The afternoons were filled by activities organized by Ms Carmen. The first of many was a memorable hiking trip to Cercedilla. What came as a surprise to all of us was the fact that by the time we reached the mountain trail, it had begun to snow. The mountains and trees that were once lush green were now coated white with snowfall. All of us were treated to nature at its best, and more so for the ones who were seeing snow for the first time.</p>
<p align="center"><img src="http://www.tandem-madrid.com/news/data/upimages/al-jazeera-dic08-b.jpg" border="0" alt="" align="none" /></p>
<p>The second part of the trip constituted of a two night stay in Cordoba which is recognized by some, as the cultural hub of Europe. Cordoba served as an absolute transition from Madrid. It’s tranquility, labyrinth of winding, narrow streets, shady flower-filled courtyards and picturesque squares such as La Plaza del Potro turned out to be a stark contrast of Madrid.</p>
<p>The trip ended too early, and it was on the 22nd when students made their way back to Doha. A cultural, environmental and memorable experience in summary, the trip illustrated on how beneficial such trips can be on accounts of both academic and extra- curricular activities. On behalf of all that took part in the trip, I would like to thank Ms Lyn, and Ms Carmen for planning and organizing the entire trip for the second year in a row. </p>
