City Marketing - Mercado de San Miguel
Ayer estuve en el Mercado de San Miguel y me pareció un buen caso de marketing. Las marcas ciudad tienen que reinventarse continuamente para conseguir seducir a los turistas y que las visitas se repitan. Los mercados han dejado de ser un producto de escaso interés para convertirse en cita obligada para cualquier turista, reseña obligatoria en las guías de turismo. El producto ha mejorado mucho ya que se ha seguido una política de restauración de estos lugares: maderas cuidadas que aportan sensación de calidez, productos de primera, una iluminación que potencia aún más su atractivo. Pero más allá de poder comprar productos de excelente calidad, permite vivir una experiencia única recreando el paladar y la vista.
Crear nuevas experiencias es clave para el turismo. Madrid, poco a poco, esta sabiendo ser un referente. El resultado es patente, la marca esta atrayendo cada vez más turistas extranjeros a pesar de la crisis. Nuevos productos, nuevas experiencias,...más turistas.
Si pasáis por Madrid hay que ir al Mercado de San Miguel, mejor por la noche, y vivir esa experiencia.

Almudena Cathedral.
Santa María la Real de La Almudena is a Catholic cathedral in Madrid. The Neo-Gothic interior is uniquely modern, with chapels and statues of contemporary artists, in heretogeneous styles, from historical revivals to "pop-art" decor. The Neo-Romanesque crypt houses a 16th century image of the Virgen de la Almudena. Nearby along the Calle Mayor excavations have unearthed remains of Moorish and medieval city walls. – Wikipedia

Get active learning directions.
Continuing with my series "Get active in the classroom!", here is another activity by Marc Helgesen which worked very well to reinforce directions in another language. I did this with my grade 12 group (17 years old). Although they are grown up students, they do need a bit of action from time to time as they tend to be a bit lethargic! We learnt how to give and understand directions in town. Then, as a follow up activity, we did the Tour guide in Madrid. I created cards to put on the walls and tables in the classroom. They were showing La Plaza Mayor, El Parque del Retiro, El museo del Prado, Atocha on them and some shops in Spanish we had learnt previously. It was a double lesson and students had a 5 minutes break so I had time to fix the cards in the classroom without them watching. When students returned from their break, I asked them to stay in the corridor and I explained the following:
1. Students worked in pairs. One was a tour guide. The other was a tourist. The tourist is blindfolded.
2. The tour guide directed the tourist around the classroom, giving directions and pointing out things that are interesting. (The tour guide may not touch the tourist). Only spoken instructions are allowed. The tour guide encourages the tourist to touch and pick-up objects. Naturally, the tour guides need to be careful so the tourists don’t hurt themselves, bump into things or other people, etc.
3. When each pair of students had finished their tour, we had a discussion of what makes for good directions, things that were easy or difficult to explain. We also talked about the main sights in Madrid.
Students really enjoyed doing this, they thought it was a fun way of practicing the directions.
What about you? Which engaging activity do you do to practice directions?
