The girl painter


Hi, this is my story about a girl painter. My class made stories  with a programme called Storybird.
I think that doing it is great because you can write about what you like w and you can put some pictures too.
I hope that you will enjoy it and you can create one.

Camino de Santiago

The 21th of March, I and other students of 4ºESO went to Camino de Santiago. We went with religion's teacher and history's teacher.
We walked around 70 kilometres during five days. We began in Palas de Rei and we finished in Santiago de Compostela.

The first part was from Palas de Rei to Melide.
The second part was from Melide to Arzúa.
The third part was from Arzúa to O Pedrouzo.
The fourth part was from O Pedrouzo to Monte do Gozo.
The last part was from Monte do Gozo to Santiago de Compostela.

We got up early about 7-8 o'clock  in the mornings, we had breakfast and then we walked into the forest, some villages and we threw some hihgways.
We didn't walk in the afternoons, because we stopped in a youth hostel after we finished to have lunch. So, we visited the different villages.

As long as we walked, we talk a lot, we sang, we took a lot of photos and Cristina and I did an interview to two english men.

I recommend to do Camino de Santiago because it's an unforgettable experience. You can sleep with other people, you can see the same people during the Camino, the landscapes are very beautiful, all of them have many green places and if you go to a restaurant or a bar, you can sure that you eat very well because the food are excellent. But someone excellent it's the catedral of Camino de Santiago, it's great that we could see it.
