Bolivia

Bolivia

I was born in Santa Cruz, Bolivia a country located in the south of America. Santa Cruz is the biggest and most populated city in Bolivia. Santa Cruz has a population of 1 453 549 people.

Santa Cruz is one of the richest cities of Bolivia because it has a lot of industry, gastronomic places and enough places to see. Because og it is alsothe city with more tourists.

If you pay a visit to Santa Cruz you have to go to see the Botanical Garden of Santa Cruz that provides 500 species of animals!

And you cannot miss its carnival if you go in February. The people dance, have fun... But though the carnival of Santa Cruz is incredible Oruro's carnival is the most impressive, This carnival includes all the cities of Bolivia.

The weather in Santa Cruz is very hot. January is the warmest month and the coldest June. The highest registered temperature was of 46ºC and the lowest -3ºC.

This city is famous for his food. A very rich dish is the churrasco though for me the best food is the cuñape. It is delicious.

What I like best about Santa Cruz is that we are so close to nature. When I'm tired of city life, I can easly get out and enjoy the mountains, rivers, waterfalls... 

THE PLACE WHERE I LIVE

Marrakech is a city located in the southwest of Morocco, almost 200.000 people live in it. The city has an altitude of 466 meters because it is located on the slopes of the Atlas. Next to Meknes, Fez and Rabat, it is one of the four imperial cities of Morocco.

Marrakech is a city characterized by its great culture. It is well known for its large flea markets, historical monuments and immense gardens. For all those thing, in the summer there are many tourists in the city, who comes to see a bit of the History of Morocco. All buildings in the city are red ocher, so they also call It "the red city".

The weather is mild throughout the summer, it can even reach 40 degrees but the winters are warmer than we are used to in Spain. During the year, in Marrakech does not rain much, and that makes it a dry city.

The city has the traditional market -in Arabic it is pronounced suq- the largest in the country and one of the busiest squares in Africa and the world, Djemaa el Fna. In the square there are acrobats, storytellers, water sellers, dancers and musicians who act to make people laugh and have a good time. At night, the square is filled with food stalls, becoming a great open-air restaurant. The time I had dinner there, I had a great time. Everything was lit with colorful lights, the waiters were very friendly and the food  was delicious. I could not ask for more! It was spectacular!

I believe that the best thing about Marrakech is the atmosphere that is breathed. Sometimes the most cultural cities become industrialized and lose their magic, but I think Marrakech still maintains that magic makes you feel like part of a fifteenth century story when you are walking through the streets. The people are very nice and in every corner of the city there is a beautiful story.

Villagarcia

I'm going to talk about Villagarcia, a small town in the province of Badajoz, in the southwest of Spain. It has a population of about 950 people. In contrast, in the summer, up to 2000 people have registered in the town. My parents and I go every summer to visit the family.

It is not a big town, it has an area of abou 60km2. There aren't buildings, there are only large houses, usually one or two floors maximum. All of them are painted white, that's one of the things I like the most. They also have very large backyards and swimming pools.

The weather is quite extreme. The summers are very hot during the day, the temperatures reach up to 45º C, and at night the drop drastically to 15º C. The winters, on the other hand very cold during the whole day, where the temperatures stay at about 0-5º C and it snows a lot.

The town of Villagarcia is famous to be one of the main sources of cultivation of cereals and olives. In addition to having the largest number of sheep heads of all Spain, it also has one of the main susage distribution companies in Spain. Many tourists come to visit these large factories, along with the main castle that has a great influence in the summer months.

What I like the most about this place is the personality of the people who live in it, they are very good and wind. I would like to try to live a  this place for a while, since it is much quieter and is not as stressful as Barcelona. But on the other hand, I would prebably get bored, since there are a few people, and to relate to the other people I should leave the town.

Finally, I recommend you visit ir, you will not regreet it.
