The Greek group visited the Escuela Oficial de Idiomas (National School of Languages) at Pozuelo, where they were warmly welcomed by its adult students, who cooked Spanish recipes and danced Sevillianas and other traditional dances. 17 persons took part at this meeting, coming from Italy, Great Britain, France, Austria and Poland.

Italy presented respectively "a tour through history and culture: cities of Apulia". The group visited the Prado Museum, the old town of Madrid, The Retino Park as well as the Pozuelo Town Hall. Our Spanish friends created a very enjoying and educational game, "Who wants to be a millionaire", involving questions about contemporary Spain and Madrid.
