Campillo de Altobuey.

In August, some friends and I went to Ana’s village, Campillo de Altobuey, in Cuenca.

We stayed there from 3 to 7 and went and came back by bus, it took us 2 hours each travel!

Campillo de Altobuey has almost 2000 people living there; it’s a big village and has a pool, pubs, etc, so it wasn’t boring staying there.

The landscape is really nice!

We had the whole house for us, so we had to wash the dishes, clean our own cloths, etc, but it was worth!

By day we went to the pool, ride bikes or simply stayed sleeping until late, it’s summer!

And we did a party every night, that was our favourite part of the day, obviously.

The neighbours were usually old people, but they were very kind with us.

One of the things I love the most is travelling with friends, and this was a little like travelling with some of my favourite friends, so I loved that 4 days in Campillo.

Feslloch 2013.

Feslloch is a festival of Valencian music celebrated in my village, Benlloch.

The word “Feslloch” is a pun in Valencian, and it means make space.

This year was the 7th edition, and came famous groups like Obrint Pas or Al Tall.

From 11 to 13 July acted 25 groups and singers.

They acted in a small stage, and the people who went to watch them slept in a pinnate close to it with tents.

By day there were a lot of activities, like workshops, trivial,

 karaoke... 

And by night the people came to the enclosure showing 

a bracelet like this -->

Once you’ve showed it, you can pass whenever you want.

Inside the enclosure they sell drinks, cloths and there was the stage.

But there isn’t only music; also came a famous comic called Xavi Castillo.

For me it’s an especial festival, because I like a lot this kind of music, and some of my friends go there too.

This one has been the second time I've gone and it's been amazing!

I hope I go to the rest of the editions of this festival, because it’s very emotive, and if you want, you can come too! See you in Feslloch ’14!

"In Time" or "On Time"?

·ON TIME: means to arrive at the appointed time.
If you meet at 4'00 and you arrive at 4'00, then you are on time.

·IN TIME: means to arrive with time to do something.
You're not exactly on time, but you're not late because there's still time.

He wasn't on time, but he was in time for the meeting, because it hadn't started yet.

My Christmas

Tales of Mystery and Imagination

The book I read this Christmas is Tales of Mystery and Imagination, by Edgar Allan Poe.

Allan Poe is a famous American writer. He was born in 1809 in Boston, and died in 1849. He was orphan so his childhood was sad.
He was a master of the short story (tales) and some people consider him the inventor of the crime fiction.
His most important works are: the Spectacles, Berenice, the Obong Box, etc.
A writter similar to Edgar Allan is Agatha Christie, that also writted crime stories.

This book contains five tales: William Wilson, the Gold Bug, the Fall of the House of Usher, the Red Death and the Cask of Amontillado, but I'm just going to talk about one.

Usher was a friend of mine since a long time ago, but I hadn't seem him for a very long time. Once then, I found that my friend had really changed; he was as white as milk, his eyes were really big and his lips dark and thin.He said he had a illness of his family that make your senses go sharp, and when you see, smell, taste, touch or hear something in a strong wat, you may go mad. We were talking in a room when his sister walked across it without realising we were in. "She cares nomore about she is dead or alive" he said, "you probably won't see her alive anymore".
One day Usher told me that his sister wasn't in our world anymore. I wanted to burry her, but he said he didn't want to burry her yet, just to be sure of his death. 3 days after her "death",her body opened the door and fell on the floor. My friend died from the shock, so I came home, and ever came back to that house.

Personal Opinion: I think it's a nice book, but it's a little bit macabre in my opinion. It is very interesting but scary. I like this writter because he was imaginative and creative, and so are his books. The tales I liked the most of this book are the Gold Bug and the Fall of the House of Usher.

From Sweden with love :)

These days my class and I are doing a special exchange.

This is not a physical exchange, it’s a virtual exchange. What’s this? A virtual exchange is an exchange you do by internet, sharing e-mails, doing blogs, etc.

We are doing it with a Swedish school, the International English School Nacka, in Stockholm.

Now we’re just sending letter to each other, but later we’ll send e-mails.

The name of my Swedish is Nora, and she’s 15 years old.

She has sent me two letters, and I also did. I think it’s really funny, because she writes to me in Spanish and I write to her in English, so it’s a little bit complicated, but it’s a good way of learning other languages, knowing other countries’ manners and making friends.

I’m really happy with this exchange and my Swedish friend, she’s really nice.

I love doing this kind of projects, it’s different and funny, and I think we learn a lot.
