Noia-Pozoblanco Postcard Swap - LUZ

The last postcard to Pozoblanco has been sent by Luz. In it we can see a quaint little picture with some of the traditional shipping boats at Testal harbour. They are used in the shellfish-gathering industry which is so important for our town and area.

On the back, Luz gives a short but sweet message in which she advertises the marvels of our town. "What else can you ask for" indeed!

Thanks, Luz!

Noia-Pozoblanco Postcard Swap - MIRIAM

Another postcard travelling to Pozoblanco! This one is Miriam's, and on it we can see a lateral view of the Santa María a Nova church, along with its cemetery, famed for the medieval guild tombstones that crowd the inside and the outside of the secularized building (and now museum).

On the back, Miriam complains a little on the macabre nature of the card, and appropriately blames me (the teacher) who was the one who gave it to her. Alright, point taken: no more views of cemeteries in the future...

Thanks, Miriam!

Noia-Pozoblanco Postcard Swap - ALICIA

The next postcard travelling to Pozoblanco is Alicia's. On it we have a superb picture of the Gothic octogonal apse of San Martiño church, with its stained glass and ribbed vaulting.

On the back, she gives our Pozoblanco friends a few glimpses and tidbits about our town's history , symbols and traditions.

Thanks, Alicia!

Noia-Pozoblanco Postcard Swap - JOSÉ MANUEL

Another postcard for EOI Pozoblanco! This one does not include a site from Noia, but rather it refers to the neighboring town of Vila de Cruz, a well-known fishing village in Boiro.

On the back, José Manuel gives some informations about himself and our region for our Andalusian friends.

Thanks, José Manuel!

Noia-Pozoblanco Postcard Swap - JAVIER

Our first postcard to our sister school EOI Pozoblanco has been sent! It features a lovely view of one of our Medieval and Gothic landmarks: the Pazo Dacosta, built in 1339.

On the back, Javier includes some fascinating information about the things he has learned about Pozoblanco. Take a look!

Thanks, Javier!

Спасибо, Nastya!
