School time is way past. Children from eight to fourteen are now thinking on which beach or swimming pool they would have more fun.
This school in particular is C. P. Curros Enriquez, named after a distinguished galician writer, more precisely from Celanova (Ourense), who spent part of his life until his death in Cuba, like many other galician people during emigration times. In this matter there is a true paralelism with irish people but instead of north america going to latin america.
Some of his works are Aires da miña terra, O divino sainete, A virxe do cristal...
By the way this was my school during my childhood. Those wonderful days!
Este es el colegio Curros Enriquez, nombrado así en memoria de un reputado escritor de Celanova (Ourense) que emigró a Cuba a finales del siglo XIX.
El estilo en que está construido parece tener ciertas reminiscencias a lo caribeño, sobre todo con las palmeras al frente y esos porches donde jugaban y todavía juegan las niñas a la comba.
Yo pasé en el mi niñez y de aquella etapa guardo buenos recuerdos, supongo que como todo el mundo.

Un saludo a todos los fans de Trekearth - Regards
