Toledo is an amazing city in Castilla La Mancha. It has a population over 83.000 people. I've chosen this city because i've been there a year ago and I was amazed.
ResponderEliminarIt is in the north of Castilla La Mancha. The weather there is very good, above all in summer. Although it has more than 80000 people living there, it is a relaxing city for live, because people don't go out late at night. The cheapest transportation is the bus, and it communicates all the city, and the city with another cities. It's difficult to move over the city because there are some mountains there. There are many restaurants, and other sites where you can eat and drink.
But the most important thing in Toledo is its cultural heritage. Its old quarter is one of the most beautiful in Spain, in my opinion. Its Alcazar is the most amazing thing there. When you are walking to the Alcazar, you go across an old bridge, called Puente de Alcántara, over the Tajo river. Furthermore, there are many curiosity shops near the old quarter.
To sum up, in Toledo there are too many historic buildings to visit and so I've chosen it for my writing. When I was there, i became amazed.

ineo is a excelent city in Asturias . There are about 3600 people , I have chosen Tineo because it is the city that I like in Spain.
ResponderEliminarThe weather is very cold . It is in the north of Principado de Asturias . Tineo, geographically is very pretty, has many green fields and there are lots of vegetation .The people living in Tineo (the Tinetenses) are wonderful and are full of joy.
In this city eats, eats breakfast and dinner, as never .
However, the best of tineo are football stadiums , because you could play, breathing the fresh air .
In my opinion, if you want to have a peaceful holiday, come to TINEO.

ResponderEliminarI can secure you that it is a nice city and it's also the capital of Andalucia.
It has a population over 703.021 people.I don't konw why I've chosen this city to describe , but now I realise that i'ts an amazing city.
Its historic and culture heritage has become really famous with monuments as La Torre del Oro , La Giralda , El Alcázar ...
But also Sevilla it's a centre of comunication for several reasons , but one of them it's because there's a huge port.
Sevilla attracts to people by its warm weather bur i think it isn't a
wet city.
Throught the history the city has developed a different kind of amazing wildfile such as birds fishes in the famous Gualdalquivir river.There are beautiful parks with breathtaking views too.
To summeraise Sevilla it´s one of the most beautiful city and from my point of view the most interesting city in Spain.
