4. CEIP José Lloret Talens, SpainSpain, officially the Kingdom of Spain is a sovereign state and a member state of the European Union. It is located on the Iberian Peninsula in southwestern Europe. Its mainland is bordered to the south and east by the Mediterranean Sea, to the north and north east by France, Andorra, and the Bay of Biscay; and to the west and northwest by Portugal and the Atlantic Ocean. 
Modern humans first arrived in the Iberian peninsula around 35,000 years ago. It came under Roman rule around 200 BCE, after which the region was named Hispania. In the Middle Ages it was conquered by Germanic tribes and later by the Moors to the south. Spain emerged as a unified country in the 15th century, following the marriage of the Catholic Monarchs and the completion of the centuries-long reconquest, or Reconquista, of the peninsula from the Moors in 1492. Spain became an influential global empire in the early modern period, being one of the first countries to colonize the New World and leaving a legacy of over 500 million Spanish speakers today, making it the world's second most spoken first language. Our school is located in Almansa, in the southeast of Spain, in the province of Albacete, part of the Autonomous Community of Castilla-La Mancha. The town of Almansa is known for its spectacular castle, built on top of the great boulder that crowns the city and defines the tangle of alleyways that comprise the old quarter. Besides its castle, Almansa is also known for its Moors and Christians Festival celebrated from the 1st to the 6th of May, and for the famous Battle of Almansa. The Battle of Almansa was fought on April 25, 1707, as part of the War of the Spanish Succession between Philippe of Anjou (the Bourbonic armies) and Archduke Charles of Austria (the Habsburg armies). The Bourbonic armies achieved a decisive victory, allowing for Philip V's accession to the Spanish throne. The Sierra del Mugrón is located within the Almansa limits. 8 km from the town is the reservoir of Almansa, built in 1584. This reservoir is the oldest one in Europe. 12 km from the town is the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Belen (17th century). 
Our school has around 260 students, starting from 3 years old up to 12. Our staff, 20 teachers, counts on a wide range of specialists, who have experience in several projects. In 2011, the school finished a Comenius multilateral association with Germany, Italy, Lithuania and Belgium, called “Fit as a fiddle” that focused on active life and healthy food. Others projects that are or have been carried out are related to areas like plans to promote reading or new models in the teaching of Physical Education, with the collaboration of University of Castilla-La Mancha.
