Hello everyone, I'm currently working on an English Summer Camp in Spain :) I'm very happy about it and I think it is a good experience to be shared. My duties are quite different and randomly chosen by my boss, but one of them is to prepare certain 'lectures' or classes for children and teens regarding the culture and history of the are where the camp is.
Lesson #1:
We are going to talk about the first half of the sixteenth century. When we talk about the first half of the sixteenth century, we talk about Emperor Charles V.
Why are we talking about Emperor Charles V right here? Well, because Emperor Charles V lived or spent a few months in the impressive and beautiful castle of Jarandilla de la Vera.
Why did he spend a few months here, in Jarandilla de la Vera? Because his son Philip II became King of Spain. And the Emperor, his father, Emperor Charles V decided to retire in Yuste, in the monastery of Yuste, which is not far from here. The monastery was the place where the Emperor spent his last days and died.
The Emperor's body was not buried there. The Emperor's body is in El Escorial with all the other monarchs, kings and queens, princes and princesses. All the Royal Family is buried in El Escorial, which is not far from Madrid.

Looks like a really fresh cool place right now.
