Spain World Explorers Unit Study
Journey with us as we travel deep into the heart of Spain, from the soaring, snow-capped peaks of the Pyrenees and the dramatic, red waters of the Rio Tinto, to the sun-drenched plains of La Meseta Central and the beautiful, sandy shores of the Mediterranean Sea. Along our travels, we’ll marvel at the powerful Spanish fighting bull, see the soaring majestic imperial eagle, and catch a glimpse of the iconic Iberian lynx prowling among the ancient holm oaks. We’ll venture into Spanish culture and discover the intricate art of Toledo damascene metalwork and the vibrant, rhythmic passion of flamenco dance. We’ll hear the lively clicking of traditional castanets and discover the rich, comforting flavors of the nation, from savory seafood paella to warm, crispy pan con chocolate.
