This document summarizes a group of Spanish students' trip to Kuopio, Finland for a Comenius exchange project from March 23-29, 2014. It includes photos and descriptions of the students visiting a school, seeing classes, having meals in the cafeteria, going on outings around Kuopio to see sights like the town hall, market, and Puijo Tower, experiencing Finnish culture like a sauna and ski resort, and cooking and eating a meal together before sadly saying goodbye at the airport at the end of their trip.
