A LOVELY PLACE

All the north coast of Scotland you can find the best cliffs of the world .You can feel like the nature beat into the rocks .Usually there are rest of the old castles next to the abyss and you can dream you was in a old battle. You see a brave and blue sea next a green fields without the large beach of Mediterranean’s coast .

Last weekend, I went with my family and some friends to my appartment in Arenys de Mar a little village near Barcelona in the Maresme Coast. We could enjoy the sun in the beach but the see was still cold for a swimming. However my daughter wanted to check that, and she enjoyed her first swim this year. Saturday I went to work with my husband because it is the day that I need more sell assistants and staff to sell. We came back in the evening and we finished my short holidays .

Sant Jordi's Day

That day I went to village centre for a walk . In the street I found the bookshop’s stands where in that day you can find especial prices a 10% reduction (books have always a fix price). The tradition is very chauvinist: a book for men a rose for women. I had to buy a book to my husband but he doesn’t like reading. I bought a book for me like a present for him. My daughter enjoyed this day in the school with special activities like going out and a literature contest or workshops.

Golondrinas

GOLONDRINAS The swallows (“golondrina”) are the little ships that are doing tourist routes around Barcelona port. The trip lasts 35 minutes from “Moll de la Fusta” to the out side dock and you can disembark and take a walk. The price is 4€ for adults and 2 € for children . It is possible another route to Olympic Village where you can sail along the city’s coast. This trip lasts 1h.30m. and its price is 9 € for adults and 4,10€ for children. The oldest ship was built for the international EXPO in 1888.Now the new boats can take around 150 to 196 people.

GO OUT

Last Saturday I went to my friend’s home with other women .We had dinner, pizza and sandwiches which we paid together. We talked about men and we laughed all the night.
We were drinking cava until very late .I cried with the jokes of the friends I hadn’t laughed for a long time ago.

Roads in Barcelona

Barcelona has a ring road .Next to the coast is Ronda Litoral and the mountain side Ronda de Dalt.If you want to visit the south coastline you can go by C-32 or Autovia Castelldefels (this one is free).This year all the roads around Barcelone is forbidden to exceed 80km.This one does not avoid the traffic jam that everyday you can found.If you want to go to the north coast you must take B-20 this one goes next the sea but it finishes in the Maresme coast before the most beautiful area the Brava coast. Then, you must take the national road and across all the little ,nice towns that you will found .The other possibility would be to visit mountain area on the northwest . You have several roads, the highway A7 ,A2 and the other main roads: NII, N340 .You must chose your route until you arrive to the Pirineos the most beautiful natural area from Catalonia.

Gotic Suburb

The old area of the town has a special smell. I like it, because I love to walk around old streets to imagine the history and the life of the other people who lived there when life was more difficult , without transport, without fridge , water running …You can visit the big Cathedral and know how many years were needed to finish this building and all the different political situations in those years. All the streets around shows the typical historical houses with the changes of the progress .We can go to windows shopping and while we smell, imagine and enjoy this special town. You can found many different kinds of restaurants and many kinds of people. Different nationalities, artists, beggars, executives….The great mix in a little town into a big town. Gema.17/01/08

Introducing Gema

Hello,

My name's Gema. I'm forty years old. I live with my partner and his daughter in Sant Boi. It's a big town near Barcelona. We have a little family company with two big shops .We are specialist mattress sellers, special beds , massage armchairs, and all type products to relax.

I am not very tall and I need to lose some height but I thing that I am good looking for being forty years. As a good seller I am very talkative, and extrovert but I like being alone. I like reading and studying things in my free time . I trying improve my English and to learn some computer programmes because I don't want to lose the progress.

I work a lot but in fact every day I dedicate the afternoon to stay with my daughter. I don't have time to travel because I have to work every Saturday but in the summer we have a special family trip.
