Hi Mª Jose. I have a bad back. I'm writing this activity in the blog because I'm in the bed.
Do you know Santander?. It's perfect for travel in the summer. The weather in summer is warm. I like Santander because it's beautiful and it has history.
Santander burned in first decade of twenty century because one boat burned on the port and the building burned to.
The people worked for their city and they builded house and buil.
The Royal family stayed in Santander and the town hall gived the Magdalena Palace.
In Santander you can visit beachs, gardens and you can go shopping in the centre of the city. The city has the most dising shop.
We stayed in a father in laws'house.This house is beautiful.
We travel by my car.
Get well soon, Teresa!
I’m sorry. Last days I was working a lot. This is high season in my jobs, two jobs. Then, now I’m writing the text over my city. Here you are:
My city is San Sebastian, in the north of Spain, near France. San Sebastian is a beautiful city near the sea, Cantabrico sea, a roiling, energetic and fascinating sea to watch in autumn time.
You must visit La Concha beach, very beautiful, elegant and quiet beach. You can see real and aristocratic palaces and constructions near the beach, because the Spanish Real Family visited San Sebastian all the summers in the past, early twentieth century.
For to look La Concha Bay you must climb the Igueldo mountain. You can do it in an old funicular, funicular very special. And when you go down the Igueldo mountain, you don’t forget to visit Los Peines del Viento, a work of art by Eduardo Chillida, where breaking waves.
In old neighborhood you can stay at a nice hotel. And in this neighborhood you don’t forget to eat. Eat in San Sebastian is a pleasure, great!!!
From Madrid you can travel by train. You take 5 hours to arrive at San Sebastian in a comfortable and pleasant train and you forget traffic jam and problems on the road.
Enjoy San Sebastian!!!

Hi everybody,
I'm going to describe one of the most beautiful city in the world: Paris.
Paris is one of the most known cities and one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world.
If you are planning a trip to Paris there are three landmarks that you must save time for them: The Arch de Triomphe, the Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame Theater.
I also love walking along the Champs-Elysées and look into the shops.
From Madrid, there are many possibilities to go there: by train, by plain and also by bus! I will advise to go by plain, is cheap and very fast.
In Paris, there are a lot of good restaurants. The problem is the price; eat in Paris is very expensive, but the food is delicious! I would like to eat a crêpe righ now!
Go to Paris and then if you want, we can exchange different points of view about it.

VENICE
A city guide
Venice is a beatiful city. It´s a small island, but it´s a noisy because it´s visited by a lot of tourists.
It´s a city with old history. The building are beautiful and historical. There are a lot of palaces. When you are walking for any street, you can see monuments or beatiful places everywhere.
The most important place is San Marcos Square, where you can see the Ducal Palace the Campanile Tower and the Cathedral of city.
You can visit the city by walking, but the most special thing in Venice is that you can also visit the city by boat. Venice have a lot of canals and you can travel by gondola.
In the centre of the city the hotels are vey expensive, if you want to stay in an economical accommodation you should avoid the centre.
The most typical souvenir that you can buy in Venice is the mask, because is very famous her carnival.
M.B.
My city, Madrid is one of the most interesting places to visit in spring, the temperature is excellent.
The city is not largest than Paris or London, but it has one big advantage: you can visit its historic downtown walking tour and you can enjoy the temperature and its friendly people.
To stay there you can choose between a wide range of a good price hotels in downtown; if you come with children and prefer to stay in an apartment there are pages on the Internet where you can rent it pretty cheap.
A one-week stay in the city is enough to know its great museums, historic buildings, shopping and eating good and cheap.
It is a pleasant, clean and safe city
Have a nice stay
