OUR TRIP TO RIO TINTO

Yesterday, we went to Riotinto with 2nd Bilingual class, and we saw a lot of things.

First, we went to the British quarter of Bellavista, here, we saw a typycal English house, the social club and the church. Here, we too walked in the quarter.
Then we went to a mine, and we saw a red lake, it's red by the pirita oxide.
Ahter that we went to the minery museum, and we saw the old trains, a roman mine, the old town of Riotinto...
Then, when we finished in the museum, we went to eat to a restaurant, where I ate catalan cream, it was delicious...
Finally we toured the mines on a train, then the train stopped and we touched the water and then we returned on the train.

I really like this trip, it can be because it is our first trip, but I liked it.
