 A HOLIDAY TO REMEMBER

My best holidays was when I went to Barcelona. This city is very enormous and attractive for the tourism, I went to Barcelona in September 2006, with my family and my uncles. I travelled by plain. I stayed in a hotel in a town of this capital called Sabadell, because I had my aunt's wedding, but I went to Barcelona very often, I stayed for two weeks. In the hotel there was a yacuzzi and a big gym for the clients. The weather in Barcelona wasn't good because was rainy. The holiday was quite expensive. I bought souvenirs of ' The Holy Family' for my cousins and my grandparents. I visited many monuments of Barcelona, for example: I visited ' La Sagrada Familia' by the architet Antonia Gaudi is the most spectacular cathedral that I looked; also I visited The aquarium of Barcelona, ' Las Ramblas', ' El parque Guell', The museum of Brcelona football team, etc. The thins that I liked more was: In the day I went sightseeing, I ate in a famous restaurant and I went to a wedding. In the evenings I played tennis in a hotel and then I went to swimming pool. At night I went to disco and also, I walked to the sea promenade whit my family.
I recomended this holiday because I saw many thins that I didn't know before.
