CROSSING: FROM SÓLLER TO TOSSALS VERDS
On Wednesday May 31 we left Binissalem for Palma by train. There we take the old wooden train to Sóller that leaves us at the beginning of the journey: Biniaraix.
Following the winding path that runs through the ravine, we begin the ascent accompanied by the wonderful landscape, the sun and the waterfalls. Everything was going well until suddenly it started to rain. We cover a tree with a tarp, take shelter and decide to eat.
In the afternoon we continue along the path and get wet twice more until we reach the top, next to Puig de l’Ofre. We find a place to spend the night and spread out wet things to dry. We spent the night under the stars.
The next day we headed towards the Font des Noguer to fill our water bottles. We have the will to start the path again, with almost all our clothes dry, but an intense storm crosses our path. It rains so hard that, even under the tarpaulin, everything we carry gets wet. So we decided it’s time to go home.
However, although the entire journey could not be completed, it has been a great experience of courage, resilience and improvement for everyone.
CROSSING: CAMÍ DE CAVALLS – MENORCA
The crossing to the neighboring island of Menorca was made following the old Camí de Cavalls and the bicycles being our steeds.
The path was generous, since nature in its multiple manifestations gave us storms, skies and seas of infinite colors, solitary coves that offered their waters for a refreshing and restorative bath, and a bush of stars under which to rest and dream in peace.
Honoring its name and tradition with the school, this was also a demanding journey that put us all to the test; face our own difficulties, expand the limits of our physical and mental resistance, allow emotion at the farewells of colleagues who embarked on new paths. Together, we have contributed to one of those experiences that leave a mark and allow us to confidently cross the threshold that precedes and gives way to the next vital stages.
It is an honor to have been able to accompany this group of young people and grateful for this wonderful experience.
