My Summer Adventure

 In one song there are words:” Summer is a small life”.I completely agree with them.Summer gives us an opportunity to meet new people, visit different cities and countries, discover new places and ways of life.

This summer I visited Spain. As I live in the Far East, it took me about 12 hours to get to Barcelona. The flight was very tired but it was worth travelling there.

Spain met us with the bright sun, the clearest water of the Mediterranean Sea and, of course, fantastic beaches and fascinating culture.

We stayed in a small resort city Lloret de Mar. I liked it very much. Lloret is famous for its nice beaches.There was no any cloudy or rainy days during our trip there.

  Every day we went swimming and sunbathing. My English helped me to make friends with teenagers from Spain, France and Germany. We played volleyball and went shopping together .It was very useful experience.

But the most memorable impression of my holiday is, of course, sights of this amazing country.

During our visit we were lucky to visit Andorra, Barcelona and Montserrat.

Andorra is located in the eastern Pyrenees Mountains and its capital is the highest capital city in Europe.That’s why its air is very clear and the nature is beautiful. Imagine my astonishment when we needed to use a lift to reach the main street of Andorra! We spent there only 3 hours but I‘ll remember it for ages.

Next our destination was Barcelona. It is the capital of Catalunia. There are a lot of museums, galleries, theatres to visit there. But the most famous sight in Barcelona is Gaudi’s Sagrada Familia.It is a giant Basilica that has been under construction since1882. It is interesting that its construction is paid for by tourist and donations.  There are 18 towers in Sagrada Familia.Each tower is dedicated to a different religious figure. But, unfortunately, I could see it only outside and now it’s my dream to come back here and see Sagrada Familia inside.

A paradise corner of Barcelona is Guell Park .It  lies on the hill with breathtaking view of Barcelona.I sat on twisting ceramic benches, walked along hall of pillars and patted the lizard- the best known symbol of the park.The Spaniards  say: “If you  pat the lizard  it will bring you luck” So I am a lucky person  now.

And the last our excursion was a Montserrat tour. Montserrat is perhaps the most important spiritual centre of Catalunia. Its history runs back to the 11th century. And now it is home to one of the most famous “Black Virgin” statue. (The Black Madonna of Montserrat).When I visited the monastery there was a long queue of pilgrims in front of the Madonna.Some people wait for 3-5 hours to reach the Black Madonna to make a wish.

But not only The Black Madonna attracts people. The Monastery of Montserrat is located near the top of the 4,000-foot mountain.It offers visitors the most spectacular mountain views of Catalunia.In a local museum we saw works of Dali, El Greсo, Monet.

Unfortunately, all good things have their end and I had to return home.My summer holidays are over.But now I am full of impressions and make plans for the next summer.
