Not so cold in there!!!!

December 5th 2019
Our students of 3A, 3E and 3F, together with their teachers Lupe, Dani and Jose went yesterday to a day trip to
EL PINSAPAR: a millennial forest.
Because of its uniqueness, the "pinsapo" has become the emblem of this natural park. It belongs to one of the nine species of fir trees that live in the mountains that surround the Mediterranean. Specifically, this is only found in Andalusia in the Serranía de Ronda and the Sierra de Grazalema, where it extends over more than 400 hectares over the Sierra del Pinar. They are usually located on northern slopes, protected from excessive sunstroke and the consequent loss of moisture, which generates a dense and shady forest in which the specimens compete for light, leaving their lower branches without leaves and a small undergrowth, exclusive for a few species.
It was described for science by the Swiss botanist Edmund Boissier, in his work "Botanical Journey through the South of Spain" in 1838. Boissier contacted Pablo Prolongo and Félix Haenseler, two pharmacists from Malaga, very fond of botany, who showed their herbariums. In them, Boissier could see for the first time pinsapo branches and needles, thinking that it could be a new species for science, what he corroborated, later, in his fieldwork. Pinsapo forests were much more widespread millions of years ago, when weather conditions were very different from today. It is, therefore, a vestige of those times, a botanical jewel restricted to a very small distribution area.

VISITING HISTORY
One more year, last November 14th, the Geography and History Department, with 2nd Bachillerato students, paid a visit to San Felipe Neri Chapel and History Museum, so as to know first hand the historical places related to the Cortes and Cadiz Constitution of 1812.
The activity was completed with a pleasant walk through the city centre, visiting the historical Apolo Café, meeting place for constitutional deputies, San Antonio Square, where the first National Lottery took place and the Monument to 1812 Constitution in España Square.
Congratulations to our studets for their interest and attitude!!
