My trip to Granadilla

Hellooo! Last October I had the pleasure of travelling to Granadilla, an abandoned village in Extremadura. As we had to do a project there, the teacher that came with us thought that we could play a game called Jugger, as well as spread it among the other students that we met in Granadilla, who came from Huelva and Almería. Jugger is a really interesting sport which is however barely known in Spain. Apart from playing Jugger, we have loads of fun due to tha different activites that were organised. The funniest one was the simulated wedding between me and a classmate, Santa. The idea was to recreate a wedding from the Middle ages, so we all put on a costume and went to the village church to make the marriage official, as it's shown below:



























On the other hand, we helped as far as we could in every task of rehabilitation and maintenance of the village. For instance, we fixed some windows, fed and took care for the animals, helped in the kitchen and became real farmers. We learn a lot about how people used to live in these village 50 years ago, without Internet and some other XXI-century developments. Thanks to Granadilla and all its community for this awesome and unforgettable experience!
