The Top Ten Spanish People of All Time, according to students

In our 1st year class we are now studying the past simple of the verb TO BE, and we are doing it by discussing about famous people's biographies.

1ºC students have voted for who, in their opinion, is the top Spanish person of all time, and we have come up with a list of the Top Ten.

Here it is:

1. MIGUEL DE CERVANTES

2. Christopher Columbus (who, strictly speaking, was not Spanish, but what the heck!!)

3. Diego Velázquez

4. Isabella of Castile and Ferdinand of Aragon

5. Adolfo Suárez

6. Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar, "El Cid"

7. Francisco de Goya

8. Federico García Lorca

9. King Juan Carlos I

10. Juan de la Cierva
