Latest activities

The walk on Sunday 20th organised by E.O.I Sanse went very well. As Eduardo says there is always an element of surprise on these walks as you never know how many people will turn up. The weather was unpredictable and Eduardo thought he would have to turn back as he was on his own but at 9.30 there were twelve people ready to set out. And just as well they did because they were able to help a lady in distress who needed medical attention for a broken wrist. All in all it was a very successful walk with students from Rivas participating and chatting away in English.

Yesterday's reading of the works of Oscar Wilde at the library, Biblioteca Central,  was lovely too. Again we are never sure who will turn up but thankfully there are always the ones we can rely upon to make it fun, interesting and relaxing.
The Ballad of Reading Gaol is always very moving. How brilliantly and carefully each word is chosen by this great writer.
Julie's suggestion of a reading from Lady Windermere's Fan for the next get together  is  excellent
 It will be the last for a while and we want to end with something light hearted that will always bring a smile to our lips when we think of Oscar Wilde.

The Paperback Book Exchange in the foyer of Biblioteca Central gave people the opportunity to exchange some really good books and others like Daniel who is leaving Spain donated some good readers, his playstation 2 games and some good dvds to this association.
We will organise another one soon.


At La Biblioteca Central the Irish poet, John Liddy,  was delighted with the audience of children and their parents who turned up to read, listen and talk about his new book of children's stories. on el día de San Isidro. 
Ascen and Raquel were charming hostesses and presented the writer to his enthusiastic audience.
One lucky winner took a new book home.
It's called Cuentos Cortos En Inglés and the editorial is Bruño.
