León is a city situated in the north-west of Spain. The population is about 150,000 inhabitants and it is known above all because of the old monuments, which most of them are near an ancient district, called "Barrio Húmedo". Here you have some photos:
The Cathedral
Basilica de San Isidoro, which has a king's pantheon.
San Marcos. Nowadays it's a Hotel.
“El Musac”, a contemporary art museum.
More buildings in León:
The terrain is very uneven: from the mountains in the North with more than 2500 meters (8,000 feet) to the plains in the South. In winter is a bit cold so we have a ski resort where people can ski.
“San Juan y San Pedro”
Our local festivity is from June 24th-June 29th, about a week. During this time, we do activities for all kinds of people. For example, young people participate in sports activities near the river bank and they observe street theatre. Elder people see local dances, a fireworks contest, a bonfire, a street market, equestrian sports and bullfights. There are also activities for everyone, including going to the fair or listening to concert music in the night."

ResponderEliminarThe pictures of the historic buildings in Leon are amazing! They look like awesome places to visit. It seems like there is always something going on in Leon, especially on the riverbank. It appears to be a very lively and fun place to be.
ResponderEliminarThose buildings look very beautiful! I especially liked the architecture of "El Musac". I know that León has many historical buildings, but are there also many examples of modern architecture in your city?
ResponderEliminarWow the buildings look beautiful! We don't have anything like that here in the US. You did a great job in displaying your hometown!
ResponderEliminarYou should probably change this paragraph a little:
This is how we call the local festivity. It is the 24 and 29 of June and its duration is about a week. In these days we do activities for all kind of people, for example, in the river bank we do sports activities for young people, street theatre, elder people see local dances, a fireworks contest, a bonfire, a street market, equestrian sports and bullfights, you also can go to the fair, and at nights you can listen to music in some concerts: they are for all kind of people.
Here is how I would write it:
"Our local festivity is from June 24th-June 29th, about a week. During this time, we do activities for all kinds of people. For example, young people participate in sports activities near the river bank and they observe street theatre. Elder people see local dances, a fireworks contest, a bonfire, a street market, equestrian sports and bullfights. There are also activities for everyone, including going to the fair or listening to concert music in the night."
Great job!
El Musac looks incredible! I'm a big fan of contemporary art and, usually, the buildings that house the art work are just as interesting as the art they contain.
ResponderEliminarA few grammatical notes:
* very good use of the word "Nowadays"
* I think by "relief", you mean to say "landscape" or "terrain"
* a general note on numbers-- don't forget that we use the comma "," instead of the period "." to express thousands, etc. For example, "150,000 inhabitants."
Great pictures!

Thank you very much for your comments and your corrections. They are very useful!
ResponderEliminarAs we can see you are very interested in contemporary art, so you can have a look at the Musac website: www.musac.es
It has the English version, but I hope you will read it in Spanish so that you can improve it!
We have also added some more photos.
