The place where I spend summer vacation

I spend the summer in a small town called Santa Marina del Rey. It is a quiet town whit a small population in winter but when summer comes all the houses and the streets are full of people.
Santa Marina del Rey is a small town located near the centre of Leon, in the town there is only one primary school, teenagers who live there throughout the year, to study in high school must go to other villages. The water there is not bought or taken from the tap, there are three water pipes throughout the town so you can go with the garage and fill it with natural water, The Órbigo river passes through the town.
The best know thing of the town are its festivals. The Garlic Fair, is in June from 18th to 20th there are concerts at night with fair, there are also workshops and the mass of the town where all the people go to church and after the mass the floats made by the inhabitants of the town parade.
What I like most about the town are its custom since I have friends who instead of buying milk a supermarket go in the morning to the cows of Amor and buy the milk from  Amor, who is a lady who is dedicated to livestock. I also like very much that instead of using a car to move around the town and the surrounding villages, everyone goes  by bicycle and of course I am in love with the sunsets from the church bell tower.
