About me |
La Feria de Málaga celebrates King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella's triumphant entrance into the coastal city of Málaga on August 19, 1487. The pair claimed the city for the crown of Castile, an event this Spanish city has been celebrating for over 500 years. The Feria de Málaga now lasts for nine days and takes place in two parts of the city. Each day at noon the downtown fills with fairgoers. In the Real, a separate fairground, participants in flamenco dress or riding clothes ride on horseback or in horse-drawn carriages, or stroll, in a tradition known as el paseo. This daytime feria unfolds against a backdrop of music, singing, and dancing and ends at 6:00 p.m., when everyone goes home to rest. The celebration starts again at night in the Real and continues into the early morning hours. For this nightly feria, people gather in public and private casetas, to enjoy concerts, theatrical presentations, music, dance, and food. The last night of the feria ends with a city-sponsored concert followed by a spectacular fireworks display.

The purpose of learning any foreign language is to develop proficiency in the communication in that language through listening, speaking, reading and writing. Learning Spanish involves developing several differenct skills which include: logic and patterns for grammar, memorization of vocabulary, listening skills for oral communication, reading comprehension, writing techniques and the use of technology. In this class we will learn simple expressions about self, friends, and family. We will also discuss Latin cultures and learn to understand the world as global citizens. |
