zalacain el aventurero


This weekend we had a field trip based around the novel Zalacain el Aventurero. During the trip we followed the novel, for the tripo we all had to choose a location that occurs around the novel. I choose San Jean Pied de Port, a small town in france in the mountains.

San Jean Pied de Port is a location along El Camino de Santiago, it also seved as a very important location in medivel times. This town served as a stragitic fort location for the Kingdom of Navarra. It also served as a adminsitrative capital for Navarra´s territory of Ultrapuertos. In the 17 century San Jean Pied de Port became part of France. San Jean Pied de Port is a well preserved part of history. It contains a wall with several amazing doors and important churches.
San Jean Pied de Port also has a Castle on a hill which offers great views of the surronding area. Today San Jean Pied de Port is a beatifull town full of amazing places and great tales.
