RULE BRITANNIA.

On Wednesday, May 20th, we had the trip that had been planned to Valverde and Riotinto, according to the project we participated in, just following the presence of the Bristish Empire in the province of Huelva.
We visited some important British buildings that still remain in Valverde and Riotinto. They made clear to our students that the presence and influence of the Empire in our land was powerful and strong. They could find the main architectural features that define a British Victorian building.
We must be very grateful to Mrs. Rosa Parreño. She made the best of her job to let us visit Don Francisco Arroyo´s home, a splendid and well preserved English house in Valverde. Thanks also to this veteran priest who gave us all the facilities to visit his home.
Our gratitude must also go to Valverde del Camino Town Hall for the way in which they served us and to Excelentísima Diputación de Huelva who gave life to this project.
Finally, thanks must be given to Pedro, my companion at the Department, who took the marvellous photos that accompany these lines.
