From the 18th to the 25th of October 2018, eighteen exchange students and two secondary school teachers from Kelvin Hall School, located in Kingston upon Hull, East Yorkshire, England, came to our high school and experienced some Asturian traditions, such as the “esfoyaza” while they listened to a student from our school reading the first chapter of the short story El Esfoyón, by the Asturian writer Eva Canel.
In this chapter, the author describes how the “esfoyaza” was.
At the end, they ate chestnuts, roasted over an open fire and served in paper bags by some members of the Parents’ Association and they also drank sweet cider. The students enjoyed themselves doing these activities.
They were very surprised when they first saw how the ears of corn grew on the stalks in our school garden.
