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 Cañada 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.

San Sebastian

San Sebastián is a city of the Basque country, next to France. My mum was born in this city, and nowadays all my family lives there.

I spend my summers in San Sebastian since I was little. I used to spend both July and August but while I’ve been getting older we spent less time until this last summer, that I’ve been there for two weeks. San Sebastian is a beautiful city, it’s very small but that’s one of the better things of the city, so you can go by foot everywhere. There’s many tourists visiting the city every summer, almost all come from France. In this two weeks that I was there, I really enjoyed being with all my family because I only see them in Winter and in Summer. I have a cousin that has my age who’s name is Cecilia. I was very lucky to have his company, because in the evenings you sometimes get bored. I spent a lot of great moments there, with my family.

Camp Rialp

This summer I went to a summer camp. At first I was a bit afraid of going because I didn’t know anyone. When I arrived I was so nervous, people looked at me weird, the english exam that I had just done had gone horrible, every thing was going wrong! That day I met my roommates (two girls), they were very friendly, and funny. They lived in Barcelona and they were my age so we got along very well. The next day the teachers told us who was our English teacher for the mornings and which was our level. They also told us in which group we where for the adventure activities in the afternoon. Some people didn’t do the adventure activities, they could choose some other activities to do, like: motorbikes, football, basket or golf. Days passed very Fast, I was having a wonderfull time! When I remember all the things that a did there I fell very sad because now I am here and I just can’t go back in time and start again. I will always remember this camp!
