A pie de mar, a escasos metros de donde la aguas de la Costa da Morte baten sus fuertes olas, se sitúa el Santuario de Nosa Señora da Virxe da Barca. Se localiza en la bocana de la Ría de Camariñas, en frente del Cabo Vilán.

Delante del Santuario está la Pedra de Abalar, una roca de cierto tamaño que se mueve en alguno de sus puntos con la alicación de una pequeña fuerza. Pueden ser de origen natural, fomados por erosión o por efecto de los glaciares, o megalitos realizados por eL hombre. Existen varias leyendas asociadas con estas piedras que narran de sus poderes adivinatorios. Aunque se encuentran en todo el mundo, las de Galicia son las más interesantes y famosas por su importancia etnográfica y antropológica.

The Pedras de abalar, Galician for "oscillating stones", are several large stones in Galicia, Spain, that can easily be moved by a person or the wind. One of these is in Muxía, and is known as the "Pedra da Barca".

Today we went to school and we talked about the pilgrimage to Santiago. It was so interesting because I would like to do it! In the afternoon we did a scavenger hunt, we ran a lot and we met a lot of people, but my group and I didn't win! It was a lot of fun too and I had a great time. We went to visit a museum, and there there was a square that struck me.

Today was the first day at school, it was fantastic and my teacher was so kind to us. We had a great time and also a lot of fun. In the afternoon we went shopping in Santiago and I bought a very nice t-shirt. We also watched some short films at school. The evening was very nice because Martina and I went to the balcony of our house and we stayed there for about 3 hours, until 2 o'clock. It was an enjoyable day!

Friday was the last day! I was so sad because I didn't want to go back home. At school I was tired because on Thursday I went to bed at 3 o'clock. Then we went to the airport, and we flew home. I was between Alberto and Riccardo on the plane and we laughed a lot and we played cards. I didn't realise that we were flying home, and when we arrived at the airport I was so sad and I understood that it was all over.

This morning we went to school, and we arrived late because the alarm clock didn't ring! Apart from this, it was a very interesting day. In the afternoon we went to visit a museum about the pilgrimage and the history of Santiago. To me it was very important and intriguing. Then we ate chocolate with churros; the chocolate was yummy but I didn't like churros so much. But it isn't important because I had a fantastic time with all of my friends!

It's my favourite day. We went to school and there we talked about the scavenger hunt and the teachers gave us some questions to ask some people. In the afternoon we did this activity and then we went dancing. It was great fun and I was ridiculous because I'm not able to dance. Then we went to the cinema, I had a great time with some of my friends and then Martina and I went home. We ate a very good paella with fish and vegetables. I ate too much.

Today it was the last day, so we were a little bit sad, but anyway it was unforgettable just like the others. In the morning we went to school as usual and our teachers gave us a kind of certificate as a memento of this fantastic experience. Then we said goodbye to them and to our families. We were so sorry to leave them, but anyway we were satisfied with the progresses we had made there. We flew from Santiago de Compostela to Orio al Serio and we arrived at the aIrport at 7 o'clock p.m., where our parents were waiting for us. It was an amazing experience because I had the opportunity to practise my Spanish and stay with my friends all the time and I hope to have another one like this in the future!

La estancia en Santiago fue fantástica. En mi familia había una señora de 64 años, era muy simpática y divertida y cocinaba muy bien. En esta semana nos cocinó algunos platos típicos como la paella, el pulpo a la gallega y también la tarta de Santiago. Cuando llegué a Santiago pensaba de nocomer mucho, me equivocaba! La casa de esta señora era pequeña pero había todo lo que necesitaba. Me gustó mucho ir al colegio porque mis profesoras eran amables y divertidas. Las actividades que hicimos en la escuela me gustaron mucho, sobre todo la de las entrevistas. Me gustó mucho la excursión a Finisterre porque saqué muchas fotos con mIs amigos y del paisaje. Me encantaron los bailes gallegos porque me gusta mucho bailar. Me gustó también la caza de tesoro que hicimos el Martes porque hablé mucho en Español  para pedir informaciones.  Esta estancia me gustó mucho porque me permitió de conocer mejor a mis amigos, y porque me divirtió mucho. Espero que nos divertiremos así también en Endinburgo el próximo año.

I went to Orio with my family. I arrived there at half past four p.m., then I met my friends and I did  some shopping and at 6 o'clock we flew to Santiago. I was excited because it was two years since I had last taken a plane. The flight was pleasant. We arrived in Santiago at 10:30 p.m. and then we met our families. In my family there was only a woman, who was 64 years old, her name was Carmen. She was so kind to us, she showed us the house and she cooked dinner for us. We ate a very good soup and then an omelette with potatoes. She was very good at cooking.  We were tired, so we went to bed very early, at about 00:30.

I woke up very late because I was so tired, so I was in a hurry because I had to meet my friends at 11 o'clock. We visited the cathedral but also the university of Santiago, they were enormous and very nice. In the afternoon we went for a walk around Santiago. It was marvellous, but it was too cold and I didn't have my jacket,. It also rained a lot and I didn't have my umbrella, so I got soaked. It had been raining all the day, which was a pity! I loved this day  because I like spending time sightseeing and walking through fields and woods.

We went to Finisterre, a small town near Santiago. It was fantastic because I took a lot of photos and I had a great time with my friends. The wind was very strong there, and it was very cold. In Finisterre we ate a yummy cake in a bar and then I spent time having fun with some of my friends. As soon as we came back home I fell asleep. I was so tired but also very happy, because I had had a very nice day.

Today is Saturday, so we didn't have to go to school. As soon as we got up, we went to the kitchen to have breakfast with Carmen. She prepared us  bread with marmalade and a piece of a typical cake of Santiago. It was simply tasty! I'm crazy about cakes! In the morning we visited the Cathedral of Santiago. It was high and full of ornaments like I had never seen before! I found it great! But the thing that I liked most about this day was visiting the surroundings of Santiago. It was fantastic because we walked through fields and small woods, completely surrounded by nature. Unfortunately, it rained all afternoon, so we couldn't finish our excursion. What a pity!

Today it was our first day at school. We met our teachers called Isolina and Angeles. They were very kind and extroverted and they congratulated us on our very high level of Spanish. We were so proud of ourselves! Then we watched some short films all afternoon. I didn't like the fact that we didn't comment the videos we saw: in this way we couldn't practise our Spanish. Luckily tonight Emma and I had a lot of fun: we stayed on the balcony until 2 o'clock a.m. and we laughed a lot talking about all the funny things that had happened during the day. What a beautiful evening!

Today it was very exciting to me because we had a lot of things to do. After school, in the first part of the afternoon, we had to walk down the streets of Santiago to ask some people many questions that we had decided in pairs in the morning at school. It was very difficult to find people willing to answer our questions,  but Emma and I had a lot of fun doing it. After that, we went to the centre of the town to dance typical dances of the place. We laughed a lot because we were so funny doIng it! Then Emma and I got back home and told everything to Carmen. She really enjoyed listening to us!

This morning we had to present the interviews we had done yesterday to our class and then we went to the market of Santiago. It was very small, but it had a lot of things to see and to eat! I found it nice and full of colours and typical products from that place. I really liked it! Then, in the afternoon, we went to visit a museum about the pilgrimage and the story of Santiago. I found it very interesting and I liked the fact that our teacher, Mr. Aresi tried to involve us in the explanation letting us read the paragraphs near the pictures. After that, we ate chocolate with churros. I didn't like churros but the chocolate was absolutely tasty!

Today, at 4.30 p.m., I went to the airport of Orio al Serio with my father to meet my classmates. I was really excited because I had never flown before and I didn't know what it would be like. I was sitting near Aurora, who held my hand during the whole journey . It was amazing to see how small the world looked from the sky! We arrived in Santiago de Compostela at 10.30 p.m. and the first thing we did was to meet the family we had to stay with for a week. Emma and I stayed in the small house of a nice and cute woman called Carmen. She is very kind and she is also very good at cooking. I think we'll have a lot of fun here!

Del uno al ocho de Abril, mis compañeros y yo fuimos a Santiago de Compostela para una estancia. Fue una experiencia simplemente maravillosa y llena de novedades. Fui por primera vez en avión y me gustó muchísimo aunque tenía un poco de miedo. Lo que me encantó más fue ver las nubes blancas que cubrían el paesaje debajo de nosotros.¡ Todo parecía tan pequeño desde allí!
Emma y yo alojamos en el pequeño piso de una afectuosa señora de 64 años llamada Carmen. Era simpática y cocinaba muy bien también platos de comida española. ¡Qué ricos!
También hicimos muchas actividades y vimos muchos monumentos y museos. Lo que más me gustó de esta experiencia fue hablar con la gente del lugar: son todos muy agradables y disponibles.   Hicimos muchas actividades en las que tuvimos que hablar con las peronas y fueron las que me gustaron más. !Esta estancia me la pasé bomba! Espero que haremos una estancia así también el proximo año.

Today we had to get up very early because we had to go to Finisterre, a small village near the ocean. We were very happy because it was a sunny day, so we knew that the excursion would be fantastic and full of beautiful things to see. Although it was sunny, it was also very windy, so it was great to see the power and the strength of the ocean. I was a little bit afraid of the height of the cliffs we were standing on, so I didn't have the courage to look down at the sea, but anyway I enjoyed it a lot. It was surely an unforgettable day for everyone!

Today we had to get up at 8 o'clock in the morning. For the first tIme I drank milk with coffee and I found out that I really love it! In the afternoon, after the lessons, we dId something really exciting: a treasure hunt. We had to ask people some questions about monuments or places in Santiago and write the answers on a sheet of paper. We had to finish before the other teams, so we ran a lot! Unfortunately, my team didn't win, but anyway I enjoyed it a lot because we kept in touch with many people.
