We learned all about commissioned art on the street that helped us get an idea of what importance street art holds for Madrileños.

We are excited for today´s activities- we will break into our first round of 5 activities: Cerámica, cajón, flamenco, parque Retiro, y cocina.
Stay posted for some awesome pictures of all of us in action this week trying our hand at Spanish cultural activities.
At the end of the day, we learned that the best way to keep cool on a HOT day in Madrid is to use our abanicos (the spanish word for hand fan) to keep cool.
