Hello, my name is Rodrigo Martín Bermudez. I´m a doctor, but not a normal doctor; I like the adventures and studing the human being and all misteries of the life. However, studing that isn´t easy, here, in Spain, it`s forbidden. So I had an idea to make my dream come true.
I have heard that Vasco de Gama is going to do a journey to the "Islas de las Especias" and I want to form part of his crew.
I decided to travel to Portugal and ask to the captian for being a member of the crew. When I met him, I explained all things about medicine that I knew and how necessary I could be in his trip. At first moment, the captain didn´t accept me; he said he didn´t need a doctor on his expedition because his men were stronger than a bull. In these moment, I explained him my other plan: I said him that I want to explore things about the humans beings and if I discovered something he could become a rich person.
Finally he acepted, so now I´m here ,in the Vasco de Gamas´s caravel cabin, ready to start the most impotant trip in my life

"Weird stories", by Pedro de Alvarado.
"WEIRD STORIES"
![]() |
| Pedro de Alvarado |
-"A city built in gold" –the disgusting man said. But after some weeks hearing the same story in the inn. Maybe it wasn´t a mistake, or just another story. I paid to that men for the location of that city, and I killed him; exactly, I beat him until his death. Of course, I took my money away from that horrible corpse. The traders are so gullible!
I always kill all the natives that talk about that city, only to be sure that none else listen that story, because I don't want any onlookers. Most of them talked about people naked, just covered with huge pieces of gold, and buildings, taller than a ship, made of gold. Also they talked to me about the women and their jewels. If that Golden City really existed it would be particullary incredible. I have to admit: I love the gold, my secret passion.
Almost, I´m sure that I'm not the only one that had heard the story. In order to protect the secret I have killed twenty four men and women. People say that im cruel and bloody. I just answered that the natives and the portuguese people will burn in hell because of their acts.
So, I'm going to talk with one of my close friends, Hernán Cortés. I'm sure that Cortés is going to preparate a really dangerous expedition to the Centre of this strange territory full of black and brown people. Full of scum. I know, that if I talk to someone my stories, they are going to happen two different things:
- He will look for that city and I will have to say goodbye to the gold and to the glory.
- Or he will call me insane, mad, and probably, people will not see me again as the same men that brought them to Cuba. The glorious one, not the cruel conqueror.
So, I'm must say only to Hernan that I want to join to the expedition, because he has the same connection with gold as me. I should kill him in the middle of the voyage, just to be sure. Yes, i´ll kill him.
I must find that city and make it my little secret from all this people. Because propably they will never understand what gold means. Because gold means power. And power is my favorite word after glory.
I must find that city and make it my little secret from all this people. Because propably they will never understand what gold means. Because gold means power. And power is my favorite word after glory.
Now, I'm powerfull. But, what is a powerfull men without his own treasure?

Lauren, the novice sailor
My name is Lauren. I´m 13 years old and I´m the seventh son of a peasant´s family. My father has a field where he cultivates wheat, barley, rice, oat and more cereals. Moreover he has two cows, some chickens and one donkey.
My old Brother, Juan, will inherit the fields and the animals while Pedro, José and Ramón will work for him. Marian, my sister, married the baker and Sofia, my other sister, will marry a farmer soon. My little brother Jaime and my little sister Isabel will work with my father in the fields until they´re 10 years old, when they will enter into the church. So, I have to choose either going into the church to become a monk or going into the sea and become a sailor.
My mom Andrea prefers that I become a monk, but the life in the convent was so boring that I decided to go to Cadiz and participate in a ship expedition. I live in a nearer village, so my father brings me to Cadiz in a cart.
While I was on La Pinta, mi mother cried saying to me that it was really dangerous.. But I wanted to live adventures!
In the ship, I sleep in the cellar, in a room with many coys (the hammocks where we sleep), there are people of my age and even younger than me. My bed in my house was cleaner than here. Here it smells so bad that at night, it´s impossible to sleep; at least the first days, because the rest of the sailors, snore so hard… Anyway, the days fly away and the hard work makes me sleep so deep.
The old sailors teach us how to work on the ship, moreover, we have to sweep and scrub the ship, and we have to sew the sails that are broken… and many things more.
The first days I got dizzy, this was the first time I travel on a ship, and the waves make me vomit, but finally I got used to it. We travelled one or two weeks on the ship, when finally, a hot afternoon, and the watch shouted "Land! Land! Land!". We are in Canarias…

Vasco de Gama´s expedition
8th of July, Lisboa
I´m Juan Domingo and I am part of the crew of Vasco de Gama's expedition. this is not the first time I travel through the ocean; in fact, I was one of the men of Bartolomé Dias' journey.
I love the sea, but I know it is dangerous and that´s what the new sailors need to know if not they will died. I explain this, because I am helping the captain with the new sailors. Some of them are too proud and probably the will put their lives in danger because of that. The first things we need to know are the rules of an expedition:
· You shouldn't create a mutiny, if you do it you will pay with your life.
· You must do what the Capitan say to you.
· The capitan is the judge in case of something happens.
I'm in charge of selecting a part of crew and we are going to make a competition and the firt one touch the tallest part of the mastil will be part of it.

The captain Hernando Castello.
8th of July of 1497.
Hello, my name is Hernando Castello, I am the captain of the crew of the Berrio.
We are setting sail in one week and the caravel, the food and everything else is prepared. However, there are still some posts in my caravel, so I am worried because I haven't found all the crew and one week is not enough time for completing it.
The last week, I was looking for some people to fill the posts, but anybody wanted to be part of my crew, because they know that this long trip, like any trip in caravel, is dangerous due to the lack of portulan charts of the area we are going to. So, they don't want to risk their own lifes.
I have only three more days and there aren't enough sailors, I need some people for clean the caravel and its rooms and one more doctor too. Fortunately, one man has appeared this morning, he was a doctor with knowledge. So I tell him that now he is part of the crew. Later, in the afternoon, I saw a group of sailors in a big ship near the coast, so I tell them to be part of my crew. At first time they were a little worried, but after explaining them we are searching a route for getting gold, silk...; they liked the idea. They weren't experts but I think they can do their work well and as I haven't found any person for clean, some sailors must do it, but I will compensate them.

Alonso de Toledo, the doctor of Christopher Columbus' journey
Here it is a diary of the first days in the voyage of Christopher Columbus written by the doctor who travelled in La Pinta to look after the sailors.
August 1st 1492.
My name is Alonso de Toledo and I am doctor of Christopher Columbus in his expedition to India. I am prepairing to set out in a few days. I have begun this diary to write down all the events that happen in this adventure. Apart from the fact that I am going to sail with the great admiral Colon, it will be my first voyage by sea. Probably, you will wonder the reason of my voyage so far away from my homeland, because the people think that the ocean is the most dangeroure in the world. I will answer you that my dream has always been to visit more world, to know new cultures and discover new things.
August 2nd 1492.
Today, I introduce myself to the captain to prepair for the sail. Only thinking that tomorrow I will be far from home I already feel dizzy. I only hope that everything will be fine and in a few months I will be back safe and sound. As I travel for the first time with new people, the best for me will be knowing them better. At long last ,I will be their doctor. My purpose on the ship will be to observe the behavior of the sailors, because I could never know them.
August 3rd 1492.
The big day has arrived! Today we leave the harbour and we begin our voyage across the world to India. I am in my cabin prepairing for the departure. I am very nervous, but I must keep quiet in this moment. I have my box of medical tools in order and I am going home to say goodbye to my family for a long time and I need some of my books for the voyage.
We have just arrived to the Canary Islands, where we will stay for a few days collecting some water and food to continue the adventure. During the former days I have given some healthy advices to the sailors and so I expect that they will avoid some illnesses. Tomorrow we will finally leave Spain and the adventure will really begin.

En Monreal llegamos a las 10. Al llegar ahí fuimos
directamente dentro donde nos llevaron a una sala con sillas para ver un vídeo.
En ese vídeo aparecía una presentación de lo que íbamos a ver. Un punto
interesante es cuando nos enseñaron la asombrosa temperatura de -30º. Luego
fuimos fuera para dividirnos en 4 grupos y empezamos la marcha. Primero fuimos
a la iglesia donde vimos varios santos y cómo se fundó. Después fuimos a una
plaza donde un chico y una chica interpretaron una obra de teatro de una reina
y un rey. Después volvimos para tomar el almuerzo y jugar a fútbol un poco. Después
fuimos a un edificio donde nos enseñaron cómo se cultivaba el azafrán y cuánto
se tardaba en producirlo. Después fuimos a la catedral donde nos explicaron
cómo se construyó y quién la fundó. Finalmente volvimos y fuimos a la clase de
2ºB para contarnos una historia a oscuras y al final jugamos a los bolos de
Monreal.

obra teatral, después volvimos a su instituto y nos comimos el bocadillo, nos
enseñaron el Museo del azafrán, nos contaron unas leyendas del pueblo y por

EXCURSIÓN A MONREAL
Lo primero que hicimos cuando llegamos fue entrar al
Salvador Victoria e ir a la biblioteca a ver un vídeo sobre la comarca de
Monreal, luego salimos al recreo e hicimos grupos.
Nos enseñaron a jugar a los bolos de Monreal, las profesoras
nos hicieron fotos y luego nos llevaron a la iglesia del pueblo y nos
explicaron todo.
Después fuimos a un parque y los alumnos nos hicieron un
teatro sobre una discusión de unos reyes y después, nos explicaron las casas solariegas.
Más tarde volvimos al instituto a almorzar en el recreo.
Luego nos llevaron al Museo del azafrán y volvimos al
instituto a un aula en la que nos explicaron unas leyendas sobre el pueblo.
Cuando terminamos, volvimos al recreo a esperar a los demás
y después nos despedimos de nuestros amigos de Monreal, nos dieron un regalo y
nos fuimos.
La excursión me ha parecido muy chula, porque los alumnos de
allí se han esforzado un montón, todos eran muy simpáticos y he hecho muchos
amigos, me lo he pasado muy bien y me gustaría que el año que viene pudiéramos
preparar otra actividad como la de este año.

EXCURSIÓN A MONREAL DEL CAMPO
El día 10 de abril del 2014, jueves, los alumnos de 2º de
ESO fuimos a Monreal para que los niños de allí nos explicaran cosas sobre su
pueblo.
A las 8:20, más o menos, yo llegué con Iván en el autobús a
la puerta trasera del Instituto Francés de Aranda. Estábamos solos pero después
ya empezó a llegar gente de nuestro curso y clase. Allí estuvimos esperando hasta
que vino el autobús que nos llevaría a Monreal sobre las 8:35. Subimos todos en
el autobús por orden de clase y orden alfabético. Yo me senté junto a Iván en la
parte trasera del autobús. En el viaje yo estuve escuchando música y jugando a
juegos de mi móvil con Iván y Moisés.
Llegamos a Monreal y el autobús aparcó delante de una
guardería y todos los bebés que había allí. Así que todas las chicas fueron a
verlos. Después vino una profesora del instituto y fuimos hacia allí. Cuando
llegamos nos metieron en una clase y la directora nos puso un vídeo en el
proyector que hablaba sobre Monreal, el vídeo lo habían hecho (según había
oído) los niños de de 1º de ESO. Cuando termina vamos al patio del instituto y
ahí nos separan en distintos grupos, a mí me tocó en el grupo azul, con cada
grupo nos acompañaba una profesora, con el nuestro vino María la profesora de
Sociales bilingüe.
Primero jugamos a los bolos de Monreal que consiste de 7
bolos de más o menos 1 m. de alto que están puestos en forma de círculo con un
bolo en el centro. Se debe lanzar una especie de cilindro de madera hacia los
bolos dando tres pasos desde una línea que estaba a unos 15 m. de los bolos.
Los chicos del grupo hicimos como una especie de torneo por parejas, yo iba con
Borja, Moisés con Joaquín y Mario con Iván. Pero para jugar debíamos ponernos
peluca ya que este juego solo lo podían jugar las mujeres. Yo me puse una
peluca rubia (parecía Bisbal) y Moisés tenía la peluca “pelocho” (era la más
graciosa). Al final ganamos Borja y yo.
Luego nos llevaron a la iglesia del pueblo, que por cierto,
tiene el campanario apartado de la iglesia en vez de estar junto a ella. Las
guías nos explicaron quiénes eran sus patrones y cosas interesantes sobre la
iglesia. Después fuimos a un parque que se llama el parque San José, allí nos
hicieron un teatro de lo que pasó en una discusión entre dos reyes, marido y
mujer. De ahí fuimos al instituto, pero de camino al instituto nos paramos a
ver unas casas “solobrianas” (creo). Y ya en el instituto almorzamos, porque
era la hora del recreo. Jugamos partidos de fútbol, Monreal contra Teruel,
ganamos todos los partidos. Ya justo cuando nos íbamos a ir a unas clases del
2º piso porque nos iban a contar unas historias o leyendas, pues me compré un
bifrutas. Tienen una máquina de zumos en el instituto, (creo que también
deberíamos tener una nosotros). Luego nos fuimos arriba y nos contaron tres
leyendas diferentes sobre Monreal con efectos de sonido de fondo.
Ya terminado todo volvimos al patio y jugamos un rato a
fútbol y a baloncesto.
A la 1: 15 PM. más o menos nos fuimos para Teruel. En el
autobús me senté con Moisés esa vez y comparamos a ver qué regalo nos habían
dado anteriormente los niños de Monreal. A mí me dieron una pulsera rosa (de
estas que se han puesto de moda) y una braga con una chapa. Ya sobre las 2:00
PM llegamos a Teruel y en el instituto nos dieron un bocata de panceta y
salchichas ya que era la semana cultural.
