CHESTER

Chester has received us dark, windy and rainy. However, we have shared our warm Spanish personality with the cold English weather and a little of sunshine has let us enjoy a lovely visit to such a memorable and historical city like Chester.
After walking around the city following the comments of a guide, we have done some shopping in the shops placed in the legendary buildings from the 19th century in the Eastgate street.
To finish with our visit to Chester, the Mayor has welcome us in the Town Hall. We have to underline how Spanish students have got surprised when they have discovered that the role of a Mayor in England is totally different from the role 'un alcalde' has got in Spain. The Mayor's role in Britain is more symbolic than a ruling work. It is the Chief Executive who rules a city not the Mayor. The Lady Mayoress was with the Lord Mayor. Our students couldn't stop laughing when the Mayoress was about to fall asleep...
