Teachers and others are invited to a ‘Wander in the Huerta’ on Saturday 8th November 2014.
Discover an activity designed for school students by Valencia International, and decide if it is right for your students.
Monuments, mysteries, legends, etymology, religion, millennia, gastronomy, nutrition, ecology, water, earth, fire, birds, invasion, migration, trade, mathematics, sustainability, threats, industry, resentment, reverence, disputes; all of these are present in a wander through the huerta of Alboraya into the past and present of this unique place; drenched in history, endangered by progress, where looking is not the same as seeing, and where in order to understand, layers need to be peeled away as with one of the excellent local onions.
On this talk-walk we hope you will really see Alboraya, as you experience some of the essential aspects that make it such a unique place on so many different levels.
The tour, in English and on foot, leaves from the Alboraya Peris y Aragó underground station (Zone A) at 10 am on Saturday 8th Novemberand lasts about 2 hours, ending at a very special Horchateria in the middle of the Huerta between Alboraya and Almassera.
The walk is completely FREE.
Tour leader: Bob Yareham, English and History teacher and Editor of Valencia International.
We are especially keen to see teachers on this tour as it is being offered to schools this academic year. This CLIL activity includes elements of Languages, History, Geography, Natural Sciences, Mathematics, Botany and, obviously, Physical Education!
Participants are advised to bring sun hats and cream, good walking shoes and water. Children are welcome but are the responsibility of the parents.
