This plant is the Loro. It is an important plant in the geopark because there are only a few of them in Spain. You can find them in little forests called loreas. These forests are in the wet gorges of Villuercas.

ELISA TAPIA This plant is Loro (Prunus Lusitanica). In the photo, it´s a little plant, but they usually reach 15 metres high. It´s one of the most important in the peninsula.

The monastery of Guadalupe is a monastery where you can see Baroque, Mudejar, Renaissance and Neoclassical styles. Before the monastic expansion, the sanctuary remained a secular priory for fortyeight years in the reigns of Alfonso XI of Castile and Henry II of Castile, under royal patronage and civil lordship.

SANDRA COBANERA

This is the Royal Monastery of Guadalupe, which we arrived to by walking from Cañamero.

MICAELA GARCÍA In this photo, we visited Guadalupe Church and Monastery. It´s a beautiful Catholic church from the 13th century. In the monastery we visited the museum. We saw lots of paintings by Zurbarán, the painter from Badajoz after whom our school is named.

CHIARA MASTRONARDI

This monastery is the famous monastery of Guadalupe. In this monastery lived the Catholic king and queen: Fernando and Isabel.

6. A picture taken at night

This street is from the village we stayed in overnight, Cañamero. It isn't very big, it has a population of around 2,500 people. I like this village because it has some ancient buildings, and, in my opinion, they are beautiful.

7. An activity you especially liked

One of the activities we did in Cañamero was paintball. My friends and I made a group and we tried to shoot the other team. In this game, there are three game modes, but we could only play one of them because it was cloudy, and it got dark.

ESTRELLA ANDRADES We did some adventure sports, like canoeing and paintball. My favourite was paintball because it is not only about shooting the members of the other team, you also have to have a strategy to win the game and I like those types of games.
