wanted to describe you my impressions. I’m having a wonderful time. The weather
is great, sun is shining and it’s hot. I’m staying here for two weeks in a guest house
near a beautiful town Barcelona. Spain is very famous for her wonderful beaches,
bullfights and many colorfully festivals. People here are very friendly, generous and
also very affectionate. I visited so many beautiful places and monuments that I can’t
imagine how to leave this country.
On the other hand not everything is so good. The worst thing is the food. The
Spanish people eat only seafood, fishes and pastas and I personally don’t like such
a food. Also my hotel is situated near main street, so it’s quite noisy at night.
But all those inconveniences doesn’t really matter because Spain is a fantastic
place to visit. It’s warm climate and passionate people make it a great place for a
holidays.
Well, that’s all for now. Hope to hear from you.
