20 de noviembre: DÍA INTERNACIONAL DE LA INFANCIA
Los niños, son el futuro de nuestra especie, y como tal, han de ser tratados de una forma especial, estando sus derechos fundamentales por encima de cualquier interés, ya sea político, económico o religioso.
Para salvaguardar su integridad, existe la declaración de los derechos del niño, redactada en 1925 por Save The Children y enmendada y reorganizada en 1959 por las Naciones Unidas.
La infancia es un periodo en cual se configura nuestra persona, y por ello, los niños han de recibir una educación de calidad, una nutrición digna, protección frente a las enfermedades, y un derecho al ocio que en muchas ocasiones, forma a este igual o más que la propia escuela. Como colectivo especialmente vulnerable, las leyes han de ser más severas en lo que respecta a los abusos frente a ellos, ya sean de cualquier tipo, y las instituciones públicas, han de velar por su bienestar y su amparo, garantizando sus derechos en cualquier circunstancia.
Los derechos fundamentales del niño son:
- A la vida.
- A la salud.
- Al descanso, el esparcimiento, el juego, la creatividad y las actividades recreativas.
- A la libertad de expresión y a compartir sus puntos de vista con otros.
- A un nombre y una nacionalidad.
- A una familia.
- A la protección durante los conflictos armados.
- A la libertad de pensamiento, conciencia y religión.
- A la protección contra el descuido o trato negligente.
- A la protección contra el trabajo infantil y contra la explotación económica en general.
- A la educación, que será gratuita y obligatoria por lo menos en las etapas elementales.
Queremos agradecer a todas las personas que, de una forma u otra, ayudan a que día a día los infantes puedan crecer felices, asegurando un futuro a nuestra especie, respetando a los demás y por encima de todo, siendo felices, porque al fin y al cabo todos en mayor o menor medida, seguimos siendo niños.

SPAIN'S CLIMATE ZONES
The image of Spain’s climate abroad has traditionally been one of blue skies and sun, while in reality it is as varied as the country’s geography. At least five different climate zones characterize the Spanish climate due to the Iberian Peninsula’s position between tropical (hot) and polar (cold) wind currents.
