Blog 3 - Research on Spain
Plan
In the past week, I was on track with what I wanted to accomplish, so I have been doing doing research about Spain, a country in Europe. I have learned about their culture, traditions, and some of the best things to do while in Spain.
Action
One of the most famous things that Spain is known for is the Running of the Bulls. This event is celebrated in the beginning of July during the fiestas of San Fermin. At eight in the morning bulls are released and then they start to chase the runners for about 825 meters. This whole process usually lasts between three to four minutes.
Spain is also the country that hosts the "World's Biggest Food Fight." This is a tradition that has started since 1945. “One hundred metric tons of overripe tomatoes are thrown in the streets” and 20,000 people participate in the food fight.
- There are two famous soccer teams in Spain, FC Barcelona and Real Madrid.
- Spain is home to some of the most beautiful buildings as well as beaches in the Mediterranean.
- Spain is known for its dish of paella and recognized for flamenco, "the most famous style of dance and music in Spain."
Reflect
After doing this research, I can't wait to share this information with my peers and see how they react because I was very surprised at what I learned about Spain. I really enjoyed being able to learn more about this country, therefore, I am excited for the upcoming week because I will be able to do research on Morocco!
