Estupendo trabajo realizado por los alumnos del IES Belén con nuestra compañera Carmen Lucena Villa, en la asignatura de Valores Éticos y Ciudadanía, en relación con la celebración del Día Internacional de la eliminación de la violencia contra la mujer, con el fin de  concienciar a nuestro alumnado para no tolerar ni asumir como algo normal la violencia de género.

Entre todos ellos han elaborado un mural que luce en la entrada de nuestro instituto con el eslogan.

 "Que las nuevas pandemias no oculten las viejas pandemias"


 

No sólo lo han trabajado en clase, sino que han querido aún más darle más visibilidad y hacerlo llegar a toda la comunidad educativa.

This is the last day of activities with all the participants together and we dedicate it to visiting the center of Malaga. We make a tour where we will pass through the most emblematic points of our city, starting in the SOHO and ending in the Plaza de la Merced. During the stops, the students of our school give relevant information about these sites, who have prepared to act as perfect guides of their city.

- SOHO

Zahira da la siguiente información en inglés sobre el SOHO:

Zahira informs about SOHO:

The interesting thing about Soho Málaga is that its reputation as a street art district is the result of a public initiative, the MAUS project (Málaga Arte Urbano Soho). The aim of the project is to rejuvenate previously battered and abandoned areas. Numerous art events, exhibitions and concerts have begun to give Soho a new life. Now you can admire the works of artists such as Obey, Sal East, ROA or D'Face on the walls of the building. They are turning this neighborhood into a living art gallery.

Another highlight of Soho Málaga is the Soho CaixaBank Theatre. Formerly known as Teatro Alameda,
it recently opened after a facelift in November 2019. Now he has released a new musical "Chorus
Line", starring Antonio Banderas, an authentic Malaga and one of the most famous characters in
Malaga. On the first Saturday of each month, you can visit the Soho Market, which is full of
handicrafts, antiques, and many independent brand stalls.


- Atarazanas

Elena da la siguiente información en inglés sobre el mercado de Atarazanas:

Elena informs about SOHO:

It is a street where the central market of Atarazanas is locates, in the historic center of Malaga.
It was built between 1876 and 1879, although the building is Muslim origin. It is one of the buildings which best represent the architecture of the nineteenth century in Malaga.
Nowadays, it works as a traditional market with three sectors, one for fish, one for meat and one for fruit and vegetables, but it is also a very typical place to eat.
This market has an interesting history:
The building dates to the Muslim period and was used as a shipyard (an enclosed area of land where ships are built and repaired). When you visit the market, you will be confused that the building was a shipyard because the sea is not near here, but Malaga gained ground to the sea during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries as the center town became too small and the city expanded.
At the end of the 19th century, it was decided to build a central market in this abandoned building.
At that period, there were many markets in the city, but being in the open air, they had quite bad hygienic conditions, so this covered market was built to preserve the food better.
In 2008 a renovation was carried out that lasted until 2010 as the building was obsolete and in poor condition. A translucent roof was placed to allow better lightning of the market and stained-glass windows with traditional details of the city was placed.
Every day the people of Malaga come to buy fresh goods. Many of visitors come for taste the tapas and fresh “pescaito” (typical small fried fish) in the bars in the market or just to stroll through this building which has been able to preserve its traditional essence. Furthermore, at the main entrance of the market, there are several stalls that have a terrace.
The stained glass is so beautiful and impressive.


- Calle LARIOS/Larios Street

Carlos talks about Larios Street

Larios street is one of the most famous streets in Malaga. It was inaugurated in 1891, the 27th of August, by Manuel Domingo Larios, one of the greatest promoters of the textile industry in the nineteenth century. At the beginning of the street, you can see a statue of him, which is amazing. During the second republic in 1931, the street was called April 14th Street, and the statue of Manuel Larios was thrown into the sea by the republicans to be replaced by a statue of a worker. Years later, with Franco’s victory in the civil war, the Larios' statue was rescued from the sea and they were able to put it back in place. Therefore, today, we can call it Calle Larios again.
