SCHOOL TRIP (DAY 4)

The fourth day was the last day, which in my opinion was the best. We wake up early, get dressed, and went downstairs to have breakfast. Then we take the bus to go to the Valporquero caves, my favorite visited place. It was very cold and they warn us that inside the cave were 90% of humidity, so we prepared our hats, scarfs and gloves. We slept in almost all the trip and we missed the sights.

The entrance to the cave is located at 1,309 meters of altitude, under the town of Valporquero. The cave is amazing because of its complexity and diversity of geological formations that take place over the years. There are many stalagmites and stalactites that form a wonderful landscape. We visited the seven halls of the cave and the visit lasted about an hour and a half. We took pictures, but can't appreciate the beauty of seeing it in person.

After the visit, we returned to León where we eat and then visited at 4 p.m. La Colegiata de San Isidoro, a Christian temple of Romanesque style built during the XI-XII centuries. It is one of the most outstanding in Spain, for its history, architecture, sculpture, and for the Romanesque luxury objects that have been preserv

ed. It has a Royal Pantheon located at the foot of the church, with Romanesque mural painting, and where most of kings and queens of Leon's kingdom were buried.

I really liked this temple.

Finally, we visited the cathedral of Leon, which was declared of Cultural Interest in 1844. Started in the eighteenth century, it is one of the great works of the Gothic style, and French influence. We made an audio-guide and after that they let us free time.

We went for a walk and bought some souvenirs and food for the trip back. Then we sit in a bar and rest a little, but some doves attacked us so we left. Because it was the last day we were allowed to return to the hotel at 3, so we went to the hotel, showered, dressed and went to dinner. We ask for pizzas and squids. After dinner we search for some pub and with other classmates we enter. At 3 am we returned at the hotel where were expecting us.
