We arrived in Spain at 14:00 and for the first time we saw Madrid and its airport. But at first we met our friends and Spanish teachers. We had to get to the railway station and few hours later we got off in Tomelloso. It is a small town in a heart of a country. In the evening we met our families we had to stay with. They were nice and tried to make us feel like at home.

On this day the real journey began. In the morning we went to school and presented us in a library. Then we were divided into small groups and had to work on two buildings: Arcades and Bombo. Arcades is a building in the centre of the town and is known as a museum but in the past it was inn. So we took a walk to the town and saw beautiful old streets with Mediterranean buildings. Then we returned to school where we had typical lunch. After that we went to see Bombo. This one was built in fields outside the city many years ago. It was used by local workers as a home and hut, while they were working on their lands. Now it is used as a museum. In the evening we celebrated with our friends the Halloween party.

In the morning we visited Consuegra village. Near it lies a castle, which is very old and famous for the relation to a Cervantes, author of the don Quixote book. While we were traveling here by bus, we saw many white windmills typical for this part of Spain. The same windmills were used in a book of Cervantes. Each windmill has its own name. Later that day we reached Toledo, historical city which lies near Madrid. City is a mix of an ancient Christian, Jewish and Arabic culture. We saw a wonderful view of the river Tajo and walked trough narrow streets, where cars could barely get. We saw a great cathedral in the centre of Toledo. Then we had lunch in one of plenty pizzerias. There we ate the most delicious pizza, we ever seen in our lives. On the way back to Tomelloso we sang many songs.

This was our last day we spent in Tomelloso. We said goodbye to our families and went to Madrid again. We left our suitcases at the station and went around the city for the last time. We went to a museum, where Salvador Dali has his paintings an then we went shopping. We saw the most famous square in Spain - Playa Mayor. After that we came back for our suitcases to the railway station. This station is built as a huge botanic garden with real banana palm trees inside. There are many cafeterias too. We took a plane to Prague and then to Kosice. We were happy to be at home again, but we will miss Spain very much. We spent a wonderful time here with our friends and we are hoping to come back to Spain once again in our future.
