IES "DIEGO TORRENTE PÉREZ". SECCIÓN BILINGÜE EN INGLÉS

Here you can see an old Spanish movie friend. Try to guess: a) Who was the child? b) Who was the old person? c) Who was the mother's child? d) Did he change his name when he was older? e) Did the child stand out later in any event? during which reign? f) Did you know any other fact about that event? g) Do you recognise the actor (child)? Do you know any series where he appears now?

1) Where is this place? 2) What kind of Spanish Renaissance can you distinguish in this building? Why? 3) Who can she be? Why does she appear here? 4) Tell me some data about her.  5) When she died, who was in charge of her body? do you know any anecdote about this fact?

Some clues about this person: a) His sister was Margarita, the little girl who was the subject of Velázquez's masterpiece Las Meninas.  b) His description: h is jaw stood so much out that his two rows of teeth could not meet; I would be quite happy with him in our classroom because he was unable to eat a chewing gum and h is tongue was so large that he couldn't almost speak.  

Let's continue with another woman, a real lioness.  a) Who was she?  b) Who was her husband? When did he die? c) Why were they important?
