Bükk National Park We went to the National Park by train directly into the forest. In the forest we walked on a very long road. When we arrived we played a football match : Spain vs Hungary. We lost the first match but we won the second. We liked the forest! After that we went to see a small fish that hides under the rocks in a small river. Ginés-Spain
The Demjén Thermal Spa On Sunday we went to Damjen. At the SPA there were many things like a sauna with TV, chess tables in the water and what we liked most were the water slides. We really enjoyed the area water culture, because of the big contrast with the lack of water in Murcia, that is close to desertification. Hungary is particularly rich in hot springs of unique importance in Europe, most of the waters are rich in dissolved minerals and they are suitable for healthy bathings. Óscar Méndez Munõz-Spain
