Beaches of Spain
One of the things that we,Spaniards, love the most doing when we are on holiday is go to the beach.
We're lucky, because in our country we have plenty of beaches fully equiped where enjoying with our family, friends or with our couple.
If you decide to go to the North of the country you might find rainy weather, but that's compensated by wonderful wild cliffs and spotless beaches.
If you are looking for party and handsome people, let me recommend you Ibiza as the best place in Spain where all this can be found. There are pubs and discos in every single corner of the island and if you want a perfect suntan, you just have to get a bike and ciclying to one of the thousands hiden coves Ibiza has.
If we talk about family tourism, Catalonia's beaches are the best ones to keep your children safe and amused while you eat some "Bravas potatoes" and drink a cold beer.

Marvel Heroes
Lately I've been watching some Marvel's films, because I went to the cinema last Friday and I watched "Avengers: Age of Ultron", and I felt very curious about the background of the main characters.
One of my favourite character is Thor, so I started by watching Thor's saga.
From my point of view, Thor's films are very easy to be understood because the story is quite simple, eventhough it's based on northern mitology. In adittion, Natalie Portman, who is the main female character, is one of my favourite actress so far, so I had to watch this film.
Another saga I've watched recently is "Captain America". These films are on the top of my list of favourites Marvel's films because the story about how he becomes a superhero is amazing and very catchy for me.
Now, Im expecting someone to make a film about black Widow, which role is played by Scarlett Johansson.

Outlander
A few months ago, a friend of mine recommended me a book named "Outlander".
It's the first part of a book serie composed by 7 different books.
The story takes place in Scotland, in the XVIII century, and the main character is Claire, a english nurse who is taken to past by some misterious reason.
She's having her honeymoon with her husband, Frank, in Scotland when she appears in the middle of the old Scotland.
Firstly, she is scared and doesn't trush in anyone, but she will meet another main character who will become a very important person for her, Jamie.
I can't continue with the plot because I don't want to spoiling anyone.
I liked this book, it's a love story but it's not only about love, it talks about the history of Scotland and makes you feel curious about the pass of the country.
Recently, I watched the TV serie based on the book.
From my point of view, is a very good adaptation because the plot it's quite similar to the book. In adittion, Claire and Jaime are represented by people who look quite similar to the book's description.
If you have doubts between reading the book or watching the TV serie, I always recommend to reading the book, because it has some details that the TV serie doesn't have.
If you read the book before, you'll get to know Claire and Jaime better and you will understand much better the serie.

A typical recipe from Spain
I think Spain is a well known country because of the variety of tasty food.
Maybe one of the most famous dishes is "Tortilla de patata".
If you are interested in learning the recipe, please, take note!
First of all, you have to peel all the potatoes and cut them in thing slices, you'll need 2 medium potatoes per person.
After that, you have to add eggs, more or less one egg per two potatoes. The last step before cooking is add a pinch of salt.
Time to cooking: Take a frying pan, pour oil (not too much, just two spoon's measure) and put the mix in the pan. You don't have to set the firepower high, medium potency is enough.
If you are patient, after 3 or 4 minutes, half of the omelette will be done, you just have to turn the omelette to the other side and wait for 4 more minutes.
This is a very simple recipe, you can add to the base mix a lot of different ingredients, such as onion, garlic, prawns, cheese...it's up to you!

To become a nurse in Spain
If you're thinking of studing nursing in Spain, you might be interested in information about how it works.
First of all, you have to study since you're 18. After that, you have to pass an exam called "selectividad", which is taken by all the students who want to get into the university.
You'll need a very high mark if you are going to studing nursing, because there are a lot of people interested on it.
If you pass the exam and you're accepted, you will study for 4 years in the university.
While you're studing, you'ill be working at the hospital as well, because of that, it's said to be a hard degree, because you don't have any leisure time.
When you finish your degree, you can work as a general nurse, but if you desire working in some special fields, like pediatrics, midwifery or psychiatry you need to pass another exam.
This test is about everything you studied while you were on university and it's difficult to pass because there are around 900 places for more than 20000 candidates.
If you have a very high mark and you pass the exam, you have to study for 2 more years while you keep working at the hospital, after that you'll become a specialist nurse.
Finally, you can continue forming yourself through MD's and finally, get a doctorate in nursing.
In adittion, you will need further educacion as english knowledge, because you'll deal with people from all over the world and you need to keep improving your skills by doing review of the newest medical articles, which are mostly in english.

Pilar's party
Pilar's party is a festival that takes place in Zaragoza every year in the month of October.
The story behind this celebration has a religious reason. The Pilar's virgin is the patron of Zaragoza and a lot of people have a strong faith in her.
Because of that, every12th of October, the main day of the festival, thousands of people dress out the regional costume, buy a punch of flowers and go to the Pilar's church to give flowers to the virgin.
In adittion to the religious part, the city lives a huge party from the start to the end of the festival, It usually takes 7 days to be celebrated and there are a lot of markets, concerts and events, people go out all day, even all night, and families and friends meet and eat together.
Actually, young people have forgotten the meaning of this party,moreover they aren't believers of the virgin, but every 12th of October, each person in Zaragoza goes to the Pilar's church and feel deeply proud of being part of this beautiful city.

Interstellar
Last week I went to the cinema, I watched the film "Interstellar".
I didn't have any idea about the plot of the movie, but I had watched some Christian Nolan's films before and I loved them, so I thought it'd be a good one too.
If you haven't seen the film yet but you're thinking about it, please stop reading here.
At the start of the film, a new world is shown. In the new Earth planet, sun is getting blocked by ashes.
The main character, played by Matthew Mcconaughey, is a father of 2 children whose mother died years ago.
He used to be a worker in the NASA, but when the world started to change, he had to resign of his job and become a farmer in order to be able to feeding his children.
One fine day, his daughter stars to receive some weird signals from the space, like coordenates.
She and her dad decide to following the signs and they are arrived to a hidden place, propertie of the NASA.
The people in that place say to the father that they've been waiting for him, because he's the one who is able to carry on a mission for saving the world.
At the beginning, he don't want to leave their children and go to the space, but when he realise that it's the only way of saving the Earth planet, he changes his mind and goes to the space.
The end of the film is very unexpected and it made me feel curious about space and stars.
Eventhough the film takes a long time to be watched (3 hours), I highly recommend it if you feel interesed about the plot.

My trips to London
The last week I went to London. It's the third time I've been in London but it doesn't mind, because I always find a reason to being back to this city.
The first time, I went to London with my best friend. We were 19 years old and it was our first trip outside Spain.
We were very excited and we felt in love with the city at first sight.
One year later, I was given a schoolarship for learning english in another country, so I decided to come back to London for a month. It was a great experience and I got to know a lot of interesting people from all around the world.
The last time I went to London was the last week. This time, I've travelled with my mother and my aunt, just for five days.
It has been different because my mother never had been in London before and she wanted to visit a lot of places.
In addition to typical things (Big Ben, Westminster...), we've gone places where usually people don't go.
In the first place, we went to London Museum, a very interesting museum where you can see the evolution of the city through the years. Victorian's promenade was the part of the museum I liked the most.
After that, we went to Greenwich by DLR, a train that pass over the Thames river and between Canary Wharf's buildings.It was so amazing getting to Greenwich by DLR.
We saw the Cutty Sark, and afther that, we walk to the peak of the main hill in the Greenwich park, where we were able to see the skyline of London.
It was a chilly and misty day, because of that there were almost no one in Greenwich park.
In the last place, we went to Old Spitafields market. I've been there before, but this time I found it more interesting because it was Sunday and it's the main day of the market.
A lot of Indian people sell a lot of thing there, and you can find very curious things you'd never imagine they exist.
I don't know if I'll come back to London soon, but I hope to be back someday.

First post
Hello!! Today, I'm starting my diary to improve my writting skills. I'm learning english in an academy in mi country, where native speakers teach us how to pronunciate in a better way, but I think that I can't write well enough to pass an official exam. Because of that, I've been looking for a site like italki where I'd be able to write and someone would correct me.
I have the idea of talking about how my day was everyday and I hope I could improve my english as I get to know people around the world.
See you there!
