Hi!
I’m Irene and I’m going to tell you how is my city, Viladecans.
Viladecans is a city near of one of the most importants cities cities in Spain, Barcelona.
It’s situated in the region of the “Baix Llobregat” and it has 64000 inhabitants approximately.
My city has got a coastal area with a large beach. This has got ecological importance, because of its animal and vegetal richness. Viladecans has got mountain area too; it is characterized by its pine forests. On the other hand, in the centre of the city or near of it, there are another places of entertainment to visit and have a great time with friends or family. For example, “Atrium”, it is a big installation with many uses: it is a sport centre (there are swimming pools, gym...) and a theatre (many important plays have performed in there) at the same time. There are a cafeteria and a sport shop too. Another important places in my city are the library, the cinema, the “Torrente Ballester” park, the city hall, the baseball camp( the baseball team is one of the best of Catalonia) , the “Torre del Baró” (the oldest Viladecans building, it was built in XII century), “Torre Roja” ( a medieval fortification)...
The most important festivals in Viladecans are the city fiesta (5 to 11 of September) and the festival on the street (it is in summer and consist in that many theatre companys come to Viladecans and perform their plays on the street).
My flat is situated in one of the mos beautiful areas of Viladecans (in my opinion), but it is a bit far of the centre of the city. I live in front of another city, Gavà. The thing that characterized my street is the large avenue called “Riera Sant Llorenç (this separated the two cities, Viladecans and Gavà). At the end of the avenue I can see a beautiful mountain, Begues. I think my neighbourhood is quite peaceful, because my street doesn’t have a lot of traffic, and people, in general are nice and kind.
Finally, I like telling you that I think Viladecans is a nice place to visit and have a great time.
I hope you like it.

I love Christmas...
One of the main reasons why I love Christmas is because we have time to rest.
I love Christmas for the spirit that awakens in people. All the streets are enlightened and people walk by them even do much colder.
I like the lights but also would be nice to find a solution to spend less energy. I like That people make gifts, but I don't like consumerism.
The American traditions, I really like me, except Santa Claus, I have mania because when I was small he didn't bring gifts for me. I like the Magi more because they bring me gifts and also is a Spanish tradition.
Another Spanish tradition that I like is that they eat the twelve grapes. It's fun because I always eat them all I find very difficult. In other countries they do other things or they do nothing.
One of the American traditions that make me grace very much is the big decorating their houses with lights. In my house we do not do it but it would be fun but without being exaggerated.
Another is to eat turkey on Christmas Day. This year, the boyfriend of my cousin made a big turkey stuffing and all the family went to eat at home of them. It is tradition in my family that Christmas Day we go to eat at my uncle's house but from this year changes. On Christmas day we will go home to my cousins and day is St. Stephen at home of my uncle.
My mother was born in a village of Castilla la mancha, Chequilla. In the town square, next to clock of the church, it is tradition that all the villagers will meet after dinner to take the twelve grapes. It is very cold and often after eating grapes has started to snow.
My favourite day of Christmas is the day of kings. I like getting up and down beside the tree to open presents with my parents. The whole families gather at my house and eat together. The menu is the same every year and so it's also a tradition.
The only bad of Christmas is the end.
