changes completely, because a lot of people
come here to have a great summer in our
beaches. In addition, we also celebrate typical
summer parties, we call them “fiestas”, in
each town of our island.
Therefore, we have chosen
the “fiestas” which
represent better the
variety of the students of
our high school.
The important element of those parties are the horses and their
riders.
