In the northernmost part of Spain, where the green of the mountains kisses the deep blue of the sea, lies a region that exudes a unique tranquility: the Cantabrian Coast. This picturesque corner is not only a visual delight but also a sanctuary that attracts travelers in search of peace and natural beauty.

The Charm of the Cantabrian Coast

Imagine waking up to the gentle murmur of waves caressing the shore. The fishing villages scattered along the coastline, such as San Vicente de la Barquera and Comillas, seem like something out of a painting with their white houses and the aroma of fresh seafood in the air. Here, time seems to stand still as you immerse yourself in an environment where tradition and calm intertwine.

Nature that Nourishes the Soul

The landscapes surrounding the Cantabrian Coast are truly breathtaking. From cliffs that plunge steeply into the sea to golden sandy beaches bordered by green meadows, every corner invites contemplation and awe. Nature lovers will find refuge in the nearby natural parks, such as the Picos de Europa, where towering mountains and serene valleys provide a perfect contrast to the frenetic pace of modern life.

Gastronomy that Tastes of the Sea and Tradition

No visit to the Cantabrian Coast would be complete without experiencing its exquisite cuisine. Seafood is at the heart of the local fare: from the famous grilled sea bream to Cantabrian anchovies, every bite is a tribute to freshness and quality. Small family-run restaurants, where recipes are passed down through generations, offer a culinary experience that nourishes both body and soul.

A Sanctuary for the Soul

In a world where haste is the norm and stress often accompanies daily life, the Cantabrian Coast offers a sanctuary for the soul. Here, peace is found in every wave that kisses the shore and in each sunset that paints the horizon with warm hues. It is a place where you can disconnect, take a deep breath, and reconnect with yourself and the surrounding nature.

Exploring the Cantabrian Coast is more than just a journey; it is an experience that leaves an indelible mark on your heart and mind. Whether you are strolling along its coastal paths or simply sitting in silence by the sea, you will find that this region of Spain has the power to inspire and rejuvenate. Discover the tranquility that only the Cantabrian Coast can offer and immerse yourself in an adventure that will connect you with the essentials.

''The Power of Puppets in Education''

Image
                                  It could be said that puppets are in every culture and in every community around the world. Sometimes they have a religious or ritualistic context. Other times puppets are used for storytelling and entertainment. In regions such as India, Africa and Southeast Asia, puppets and puppeteers generally engage in ceremonies or rites. In Europe it has a more theatrical, or musical context. In the Americas, especially in Mexico, puppetry has existed since pre-Columbian times, and was used to narrate and preserve the memory of daily life. In these early stages puppets were clay dolls articulated directly with the puppeteers hands. In addition to serving as vehicles of oral history, puppets were used to represent religious texts, usually accompanied by a song or dance. At the time of Independence in Mexico, puppetry flourished in the realm of performing arts and enjoyed great popularity. Puppets even began to be used to educate the population about basic public

"Día De Los Muertos, a millenary tradition for Mexicans"

                             Martin Marquez  ©        The Mexican tradition of Dia De Los Muertos is of pre-Hispanic origin, and is a World Cultural Heritage as named by UNESCO, a title which causes no surprise once its profound and complex beauty is appreciated.  Dia De Los Muertos is a celebration those loved ones who have passed, a time to craft an ornate altar of offering decorated with fragrant flowers, lit candles, fresh fruit, and cherished photographs. Such an altar serves as a welcome-home sign, akin to when a family member returns from a trip abroad and finally arrives home. In order to truly understand Dia De Los Muertos it is essential to understand the concept of death as the beginning of a journey in which the soul goes to a sacred place and periodically returns to the mundane world.  My memory is replete with thousands of images of altars that I have seen throughout my life, especially during the years that I lived in Mexico City. Also of note are the impressive altars a

''Spanish and Art''

                                         photo by Carlota Roa  ©        Art is a powerful tool to learn a language through cultural expressions! For more than six consecutive years, Spanish Today has developed courses to harness the pedagogic spark of art. Such fusions of creativity and language have been offered in a variety of institutions such as the Montalvo Art Center in the City of Saratoga. For the summertime, we have curated Spanish courses that aim to encourage and motivate students to converse in Spanish through innovative problem-solving and observation. By engaging in sculpture, paintings, handicrafts, musical performance, and dancing, our students form deep connections between their experiences and their environment. When students participate in what we like to call “transcendent-learning”, they can more easily connect with the target acquisition - in this case the Spanish language. The stimulation of both cerebral hemispheres causes genuine emotions and exalted sensation
