2)      Trip to Radom: between Sunday 18^th October and Sunday 25^th October. Each will check the best dates for the flights and we will compare them in Kalamata so that after that we can all book the flights.

3)      We will all upload the presentations of our schools on the blog 

4)      We will upload the results of the questionnaires on the blog 

5)      The presentations will be presented again in Kalamata

8)      We’ll invite students to comment on the blog and especially on the Forum in TwinSpace (“My best memories of Poio”: this has to include a comment on why should someone decide to visit Poio/Pontevedra);

Visit to Combarro

The village of Combarro. Poio, is located in the Rías Baixas estuaries, six kilometres from the city of Pontevedra. The old quartier in Combarro, which has been declared Property of Cultural Interest, is a representative example of three traditional architectural elements in Galicia: hórreos, (raised graneries), sea houses and cruceiros (crosses) 

"Conxunto horreos" by Anxo The original uploader was Xelo2004 at Galician Wikipedia - Galipedia, a wikipedia galega. Licensed under CC BY-SA 3.0 via Wikimedia Commons - http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Conxunto_horreos.jpg#mediaviewer/File:Conxunto_horreos.jpg

In Plaza de San Roque you will find the library building, built in the 18th century, and two of the crosses in town. The crosses in Combarro, usually situated in squares or crossroads, have a peculiar feature: the figure of the Virgin is usually facing the sea, and Christ is facing the ground. Along Calle San Roque you can get to A Rúa, where there are the traditional "casas marineras", with narrow arcades and balconies made of stone or wood, depending on how wealthy the owner was. If you want to see the emblematic "hórreos", you can go to the coast: there you will find about thirty, out of about sixty that are preserved in Combarro. They were used to store food and most of them were built in the 18th and 19th centuries. The old fishing port of Peirao can be reached on foot, either by passing through the town’s streets, or by crossing Padrón Beach when the tide is out.As is typical in seafaring villages, on 16 July Combarro celebrates the Virgin of El Carmen festivity. Tradition demands boats to be decorated with flowers and flags in order to take part in an emotive maritime procession, the best-decorated boat being allowed to carry the image of the Virgin. The Mussel Festival, on 15 August, is another important event in the town.
