San Sebastian

I have been in this city for 3 weeks. It was great staying with my family. One day, my parents celebrated the 25th anniversary of their wedding and we went to a nice restaurant to celebrate. We took plenty of pictures and had a great time.

My cousin Cecilia is my age, so we spent a lot of time together and went to the pool, the beach, the mountains, and shopping too! I like being in San Sebastian but I miss my friends from the school, so I'm always looking forward to come back home.




Benicassim

The beach is very long in Benicassim, and the water is clean and warm so I love sunbathing and swimming in the sea. I could be there for hours and I don't feel cold. My friends from Benicassim live in the same block of flats as me. We go out together, go cycling and sometimes to the cinema or shopping. This year we celebrated my cousin Mei's birthday there, she turned 10 and my sister and I organised a surprise party for her, withballoons and candies. She was really happy.

Jaca

Before going to San Sebastian I went to Jaca, in the Pyrenees to stay with my uncle and aunt and my cousin Cecilia. We spent one week in their appartment and we went hiking in the mountains. It was hard because I don't like walking much and it was hot. In the afternoon we went to the swimming pool and stayed there for hours. There were many people from Madrid and from Zaragoza and we had a great time!


My new house



My parents bought a new house this year, it's a big and beautiful cottagge with a garden and a swimming pool. My friends from La CaƱada have been here a lot and they love it. My bedroom is not very big but I have a balcony giving on to the swimming pool, so the view is amazing. And also, I have a dog now. Her name is Noa and she is 6 months old. She is really gentle and loving,  she loves running and playing with other dogs. So every time I take her out, I have to take her on a leash because she runs away every time she sees another dog. At first, she slept outside but now she sleps on the first floor where the bedrooms are and I sometimes allow her in my bedroom cause I love to keep her company.
