Figure 1.-- We have very little information on individual Spanish schools at this time. We do notice a Catholic monastary school for boys near La Alberca, The school is run by monks. There were also friars. It is called The Batuecas after the valley region of the Sierra de Francia in Salamanca, Castilla y León. The monastery belongs to a cloistered secluded monks called the Discalced (Barefoot) Carmelites. We have ben able to find very little information about the monastary school. We do not know if it it was a kind of boarding school where parents sent their boys for a disciplined, religious education or if the boys were indigent children taken in by the monks. Here we see scne at the monastary in 1922. Photographer: Hielscher.

We do not know if it it was a kind of boarding school where parents sent their boys for a disciplined, religious education or if the boys were indigent children taken in by the monks. Nor do w know the nature of the eduction the boys received. It looks to be a relatively smll number of boy. This is interesting because school like this for several centuries during the early and mid-meivl period was one of the fewvtypes of school operating in Chritian Europe. We are not sure when she monastary was founded, but the order dates to the 16th century. We know the school was still operting in the 1920s, but do not know if it survived the Civil War (1936-39).
