Finally, we made our guided tours of Jaca.We were a bit nervous, but we did it.
In my case, I think the second guide tour was a little better.I was more tranquil, and I tried not to read the information. I don't think it was perfect, but was the first time, and I'm sure the next will be better.
Sally,¡thanks for believing in us!

MY CHALLENGE
Everything I´ve do in the "Taller Vía Tolossana",this has been my biggest Challenge.
In this guided tour with the Institute Domingo Miral, I risked "my honour", because one of the listeners was my son, great critic, your friends and teachers. I was very nervous but I was protected me by colleagues and my English teacher "Sally" who always supported me and gave me encouragement.

Guided Tour feedback
My first Guided tour in English was on Monday. I had to speak about the Saint Peter's castle and the Rapitan Fort, two of the most important monuments in Jaca. The audience was made up of teenagers from France,Italy,Germany, Turkey, Lithuania and Spain.
At the beginning of the tour I felt a little bit nervous but when I started to talk my nerves dissappeared and I really had a good time talking about my town, Jaca.
I have to be grateful for the support of Sally, my English teacher, and my companions during the visit.They made it easier...
Thanks a lot.

Guided Tour
At last we've done our guided tour of Jaca! There were two big groups of students and teachers from Germany, Italy, Turkey, France and Lithuania, as well as quite a few from Jaca. Elena, MªJosé, Ignacio, Luisa and Sally all made contributions to the tour, which went well and the timing was almost perfect!

The Town Hall
The Town Hall of Jaca dates from 1486.This building still preserves the historical part of the most important Municipal Archive of Jaca.
It was constructed by Juan de Rosellet. It is a great plateresque style façade. Five windows decorated with the bars of Aragón form the second floor. A gallery of typically Aragonese arches constituted the last and most recent contribution to the buiding.
Inside you find the "Room of the Ciento" which comnmemorates the Council of Ciento, formed by one hundred good men who were helping to govern the city from 1212.
