1ºESO B and 2ºESO B-C visiting the Pinsapar of Grazalema
May 9th, 2007

Here we are enjoying the Pinsapar with Nora who has helped us to improve our English during this year.
The first part of the way was hard because of the slope.
But when we got to the top, called Puerto de las Cumbres,
we could enjoy a marvellous sight including the village of Grazalema.


Resting and having sandwiches at the Puerto de las Cumbres. The peak below is called San Cristobal.


We carried on walking rounded by piornos. Piornos are plants adapted to live in high places where life is very hard because of the strong winds, the low temperature and the lack of water. Their hemispheric shape is good to bear these conditions. The piorno on the right is called "cojín de monja" but it is plenty of spines: poor nuns!










Eventually we arrived to the forest of pinsapos. There was a special atmosphere inside it:
darkness, humidity and very high trees. We wrote down some characteristics of this forest .


After crossing the forest we got to a meadow where we had lunch and played for a while.
