Expansion

Have students print out photos from their virtual journey and make a presentation to the class. Students may wish to compare to other trips (or hikes) they have taken in the past. Encourage students to discuss changes in their daily routines.

Students may have the option of staying at a beautiful or historic parador, a hotel, or, in the later stages of the trip, an inn or mountain hut (refugio). Encourage them to explore different types of lodging. The history of the Spanish paradores can be found online at http://www.parador.es/en/historia.htm.
