Italian adventure

A GROUP of Italian students and teachers spent a delightful week in Almuñecar as part of an Erasmus exchange. The adventure was not only about visiting a new place, but was also developed to encourage a love of sports and its values of friendship and sportsmanship.

The group is composed of 17 students aged between 15 and 17 years old and three teachers from Milan arrived in the town on Wednesday, March 8. Arriving at the host school IES Antigua Sexi, the students and teachers were warmly welcomed by the director, Antonio Martín Olid, and the local councillor for Culture and Education, Alberto García Gilabert. The local council also gave the students some souvenirs to mark the beginning of their journey.

Throughout the week, the students enjoyed an exciting educational programme including lessons at Hotel San Cristóbal, where they stayed as well as enjoying volleyball matches at Puerta del Mar with other young people in local volleyball clubs. The project was a unique opportunity for the Italian and Spanish students and teachers to expand their knowledge about sports and their values while experiencing a different culture.
