My Summer Holidays

This summer I have been to various places. Just after school finished I spent the month of July in Germany. I stayed in Augsburg, a town as large as Getxo and 1 hour by car from Munich. I stayed with a family,they were really nice and it was the second time they had a guest at their house.

The first three weeks I stayed there I was alone but during the last week a girl from Switzerland came to the house. She was my age and she was going to stay two weeks more.

Throughout my stay I went to visit several cultural places. For example; the first week I went to the Castle Neuschwanstein. This castle is like a national emblem from Germany and you might recognize this castle from the Disney logo.This castle was built by order of King Ludwig II. I also visited Munich twice.


The first time I went to Munich I visited the Olympiaturm, the tallest tower in the city. From this tower 291m high you can see on bright clear days the Alps. Apart from this I also went to visit the streets of Munich. Furthermore, one day I went to another castle, Linderhof, which had been built in the middle of a valley in the Alps.

After the wonderful time I spent in Germany I went to Navacerrada, a small town in the province of Madrid. I spent a week there with my parents and my aunt, uncle and little cousin. During that week I relaxed and hiked mountains.

Two weeks after going to Navacerrada I found myself in a plane for 11 hours going in direction of Costa Rica. I spent 16 days with my parents in a tour around the country of Costa Rica. Costa Rica is a beautiful country. If you like nature this is the best country o visit. Costa Rica is mainly composed of Natural Parks. I visited the capital San Jose and the rest of important parks and cities. I also visited the Volcano of Arenal who is awake and sometimes has small eruptions. I had a really nice time there. I saw crocodiles, turtles, tucans, caimans, snakes and many many insects.

I came back to Spain on the 25th of August and since then to the 3rd of September I stayed in Medina de Pomar. That was my summer.
