Granada and Europe. We hope that you have found useful this web as

Advantages and disadvantages of STEP to Europe
We have discussed together some pros and cons of this project and we have decided the most important ones.
ADVANTAGES:
-We get to know another culture.
-We have the opportunity to visit places in our province.
-We met people from another country and could make new friends.
-This type of project arose our awareness about what Europe is.
-We realise how similar teenagers are.
-The effort we made to understand other people's perspective supposes learning.
DISADVANTAGES:
-You felt sad when people left.
-We had less time to study or do homework or sleep.
-We didn't practise English as much as expected.
-We found out they have more scholarships than we do.

STEP to Europe Review
Evaluation of our Erasmus+ Project:
This year we have been working on sustainable tourism due to the project “STEP to Europe”, which intended to explore the sustainable tourism of our area as well as promoting the intercultural exchange between schools from England, Italy and Spain. In particular we've been with Italian students from Trento.
The project has been very useful since we have learnt a lot about eco-friendly tourist attractions in Granada, specially at the Comarca de los Montes Orientales. We could draw the conclusion that Granada is an ideal destination if you're looking for sustainable tourism, as we have demonstrated during the Italians' stay.
Being bilingual students, the exchange has been an outstanding opportunity to practise English and learning Italian. We have got to know different lifestyles and cultures, by which we have acquired a wider vision of the world.

Today we have received the interview from our friend the mayor of Moclín. We've got a lot of information ready to translate. We have searched the contact telephones of some areas of Montes Orientales and we have found some information about Cueva del Agua in Iznalloz, which we plan to visit.
Cueva del Agua is located in the peak of the Sierra Harana, in Iznalloz (Granada). It is a huge net of subterranean galeries without a fixed direction, as the whole cave is a fault. The ground is covered by grinded dolomites, and there were discovered stalagmitic tubes. Since the 60s we can enjoy its mind-boggling rooms such us the Music Hall and the Glaciar Lagoon.
Telephone numbers:
958403051 - Town Hall of Moclín
958247384 - Cueva del Agua of Iznalloz

It's an essential visit you can't miss.
La Cueva de las Ventanas is a beautiful place located in Piñar

stone columns and paleontological and archaeological remains.It's an essential visit you can't miss.
