Discover Spain




Hi everyone!!

I hope you are all getting ready for next Easter break but, before packing your suitcases, enjoy this text written by Matthew Domínguez, one of our Intermediate Level students. It may give someone ideas for these coming holidays.

See you soon

I have been to a lot of places but the most beautiful one was Almeria. I visited Almería five years ago (in July 2005). I don’t know if I’m going back, but I would like to do it in the future.On the one hand, the weather was fantastic, it was sunny all the time, lots of people go there because Almería is a typical summer destination. Furthermore the hotel was very good, it had all you can need and it was close to the beach, approximately ten minutes on foot. When I visited Almería I found a lot of interesting things, for example, that people are very friendly and hilarious, but from my point of view, the best thing of my trip was the food, because fish is very well cooked there.On the other hand, although the hotel was fantastic, I didn’t like the breakfast. Moreover the transport was a small problem for me because I went by car and it took me eight hours to arrive in Almería, so when I got there I felt very tired.In short, the experience was fantastic because I had a great summer with my family, visited amazing places, walked around wonderful beaches, and if it was up to me I would return

APRIL'S FOOL!!

April Fools' Day is celebrated in different countries around the world on April 1 every year. Sometimes referred to as All Fools' Day, April 1 is not a national holiday, but is widely recognized and celebrated as a day when many people play all kinds of jokes and foolishness. The day is marked by the commission of good-humoured or otherwise funny jokes, hoaxes, and other practical jokes of varying sophistication on friends, family members, teachers, neighbors, work associates, etc.

The earliest recorded association between April 1 and foolishness can be found in Chaucer's Canterbury Tales (1392). Many writers suggest that the restoration of January 1 as New Year's Day in the 16th century was responsible for the creation of the holiday, but this theory does not explain earlier references.
