My journey to Spain has been fantastic.
Before leaving, the wish to fly and to stay with a Spanish family got me scared.
The first day I was there I was not familiar with my Spanish friend Sandra and I felt a little embarassed.
But Italian and Spanish languages are similar so we could understand each other.
Their way of living is a little different from ours.
They go to work at a quarter to nine and they come back home at a quarter to three.
They have dinner very late, about eleven o' clock.
I have noticed that Italian food is better than Spanish food, but the latter is very good.
My favourite Spanish food was paella. It is a mixture of shrimps, meat and rice.
It's very good!
Sandra explained me that in Spain a lot of regions don't accept corridas.
Sandra and her friends were “anti-taurista”.
The most incredible thing I saw there is that there were huge parks with very big fountains.
Sandra was very nice and kind to me.
At any time she and her mom asked me if I needed something.
In the morning we used to go to school. I suppose her school is bigger than mine.
The rules of her school are different from ours.
There students have to change classrooms according to the subject they have; on the countrary, in my school teachers change classrooms at the end of each lesson hour.
I was very well in Spain and I hope I'll go there again.
