Entre las obras más destacadas de Fuentes, que fue muy crítico durante toda su vida con México por no haber construido una democracia más auténtica, figuran títulos como "La muerte de Artemio Cruz" y "Terra Nostra".

En 2008 el escritor español Juan Goytisolo dijo que Carlos Fuentes logró junto con Gabriel García Márquez y el resto de los "autores del boom latinoamericano" que la literatura española de nuevo reflejara la modernidad después de que España diera la espalda a la cultura universal durante siglos.

¡Muchíssimas gracias por una semana fantástica en Granada! http://www.escuela-montalban.com/blog-and-news/blogdetails.php?newsID=5442 buenos guías que han contratado. José es genial y a los alumnos les ha caído muy  bien y ha logrado darle a los alumnos tanta inspiración y despertado su curiosidad por la historia y la cultura española.

Las profesoras de los dos grupos también han sido muy inspiradoras y nuestros alumnos han aprendido muchísimo y desarrollado su lengua de una manera impresionante en tan poco tiempo. Ahora solo falta darles las gracias a las madres de casa que recibieron a nuestros alumnos con tanto cariño y también contribuyeron a darles una imágen bonita del país.

Muchos saludos de 
Ulrika y Linn
(Aranasgymnasiet en Kungsbacka / Suecia)

Guided trip to Cordoba: "Festival de los Patios"
Fee: 55 €



A vast range of patios await your viewing in Córdoba every year, with not only private, single-family homes opening their doors to show you the lovely courtyards around which their old-style homes centre. There are also larger, low-built, apartment-style buildings that have amazing courtyards where often many gardeners will work together all year to cultivate the special gems that are their shared meeting areas. These patios not only offer a visual feast of colourful flowers, stone mosaics and ceramic decorations, but also bring out the classic scents of Córdoba: jasmine and orange blossom mixed with a myriad of scents from the many other flowers and plants that bring the city – and this festival – alive.

May Crosses in Granada http://www.escuela-montalban.com/blog-and-news/blogdetails.php?newsID=4429 annual decoration of their respective cross, which they then erect in a public square or courtyard. "Casetas" are set up nearby each cross (in the very same plaza or courtyard) where you can find the typical jubilant Andalucían antics and shenanigans: eating, drinking, partying, and dancing sevillanas.

Aside from these marvelous florally-decorated temporary crosses, fixed crosses also get a lavish makeover, as do the various plazas and courtyards. With people to impress and awards to be won, decoration during Cruces de Mayo becomes almost a marathon sport- you'll easily see why it's one of Granada's world-famous festivals!
