The cafeteria situated in the third building. It is one of the meeting points of the students at break time. It is open the
whole day and you can have breakfast, lunch and a cup of coffee or tea at mid-afternoon. There are nice menus at very good
prices for students. The teachers also come here to have a snack but then music starts playing and we all have to go back to
class. Yes, each change of period is pointed out with music. So, each fifty-five minutes, which is the time our lessons last,
music plays so we swap classrooms for next lesson. It is funny. Each week, music is chosen by a group of students and so we
can listen to very different types of music, from salsa or reggaeton music to classic music or blues.
Having fun at the library and the Assembly hall
The library and the hall Assembly are very important places for students at IES Mesa y López.
The library is opened from 8:00 am till 20: 00 so students can also meet there in the afternoon to borrow books, to use
the computers to browse the net for information or to study. It is a place where The Manga Club meets.
The Manga Club is a club created by some students and a teacher of Spanish language. They all have in common that
like manga, anime and anything related to the Japanese culture. They meet every Tuesday at break time at the library. Saúl
Santana (4ºA) is one of our partners who belongs to the club.: “We would like to make it clear that the club is not only based
on reading comics and watching series in Japanese. Our meeting means more than that. Each time we read new manga or
watch films we make discussions about the messages they send: some with social content, others about the quest of your
dreams. Not all of them are just action or romantic movies. It may be a weird world for some people but through manga we
can learn many things too. The Club is a place where we can do what we love, without thinking of what society will say,
because this is Japan, a place where any madness is possible”.
There are also exclusive trips for people who join this club, like the visit to the “Comic-Can” exhibition, an exhibition
about the world of manga and comics which takes place every year in town. They also organize some workshops through the
year to let the rest of the students know what they do in the club and cheer them up to join.
The Assembly hall is the place where we
have talks both from people at high school or
