Bike trip to Parque El Palmeral

Authored By:

Carmen Ubarri

After their morning classes and community conversations, students biked through Alicante to the  beautiful park El Palmeral. The group was divided into two groups, each headed by a tour guide and followed by us (Cassidy and Carmen).

 

This was our first stop on the bike tour. The students are listening to the tour guide.
