A good day. Today is cloudy in my town, but it's hot. It is the typical day of spring. The countryside is beautiful with lots of flowers and green pastures. I think it's a perfect day for a walk and breathe fresh air.

My city. It´s my first writing here. Sorry for my mistakes I was born in Barcelona but I´ve lived in LA CAROLINA since 1986. It´s a quietly city witch is in North of Jaén in Andalusia. It has a population about 16,000 people and I can say people are kindly and helpfuly. LA CAROLINA was founded in 1767 and it´s famous for straight streets, they´re as straight as cheesboard. Many years ago, beginig the last century, LA CAROLINA was a minery town - the owners of the mines were mostly English - many years later it was industrial town and currently LA CAROLINA is a city os services. It has special places and beautiful sights such as Church´s Square and Olavide´s Palace, Town Hall, Aduana´s Square...... It´s sorrounded nature and nice landscapes. I´m ending. The weather in LA CAROLINA is normaly good with smooth winters and hot summers although, some winter snows. I think the best of my town are landscapes and sorrounding.
