The geographics teacher from school came for a cup of coffee and a talk.
He apologised for wanting to talk about one of his groups, but he couldn't sleep well.
I have to say, that group is a pain for other teachers too. I'm glad it's not one of mine.
After trying to find some solutions for individual pupils we bowed our heads over a diffent content of the curriculum.
I can understand those young people completely. The book is boring.
I suddenly got an idea and we sat down in my study and switched on the computer.
Do you know that Benidorm was just a small fishing village in the 50ties?
In 1952 there was such a big drop in catches that people needed other means of excistence. In 1956 the council agreed to build for the tourist industry. And how!
Now most of the Benidorm Hotels are among the most comfortable and luxurious hotels of the world.
The views in some hotels are one of a kind.
Gran Hotel Bali BenidormThe small village has grown into a tourist giant with a huge choice of places to visit, free cabaret acts like noweher else, and a fibrant nightlife. Families, singles... everyone can enjoy the perfect vacation in the pleasant climate.
Alicante too has grown from a historic Mediterranean port to one of the fastest-growing cities in Spain. The Alicante Hotels embrace the famous beaches.
The town is full of history and there's something to do for everyone.
A friend took short boat trip off the coast of Alicante to the small and tranquil Isla de Tabarca. One can snorkel there. Or take a boat with a glass bottom in the national marine park, where the water is crystal clear. And there is a nice little beach suitable for a romantic picknick.
I asked my collegue if this wasn't a great subject to get those kids interested in geography.
Probably at least one of them has been in one of the Costa Brava Hotels or Costa Del Sol Hotels .
Let them find out everything there is too know!
The Costa del Sol is at the edge of the continent. The seaside attracts all sorts of people, including the rich with their yachts in Puerto Banus. And one can find out the where one can find vulcano sand beaches. (Arena beach in Estepona).
They can write papers about the Neolithic Nerja Caves,the Picasso museum in Málaga and the Andalusian pueblos blancos (white towns) from Zahara de la Frontera to Grazalema or the brave hairpin bends to Moorish Ronda, perched either side of a 150m gorge.
Let them write about the rocks, the eagles.
Let them organise a Spanish week with tapas and olives.
We enjoyed ourselves when I told my experiences with the Barcelona Hotels.
As a musician one is sometimes invited by people who don't mind to spend money on an expensive hotelroom.
