East 43rd Street

Today, I'm going to speak about an English book which I have read during those English classes.

This book was about private investigator that one day a strange woman ask him for help, because he had to take some jewelry from a bank. But this woman was not what inspector Marley thought, and he had to solve a very big case in which he is in jail, in the limousine of a very strange man. There are also murderers and rich men with a lot of problems.

I have enjoyed this book a lot, because when you start reading you can't stop, it is not boring.
I recommend this book because I think it is very funny and you also learn a lot of English.

Almendralejo

Today, I'm going to speak about my grandparent's town, it is a small town located in extremadura named Almendralejo.

 Almendralejo is a city with 34000 habitants .The economy of the city is based on the industry. Almendralejo was famous in Spain because their football club was in first division for a few years and because they produce a very famous cava.


 In the town there are a lot of interesting places to visit, like the town hall, that is the place where José de espronceda, a very important writer from the Spanish romanticism was born.






Carolina Coronado theatre is another place that you can visit, it was built in honor of the romantic writer(Carolina Coronado) who was born in Almendralejo.






Another interesting place is the International wine and olive palace who attracts many people during the year.








There are also many religious places to visit like Santa Clara's convent that is famous because they produce very famous candies elaborated by hand.









 Purificación's church is also famous because it have very beautiful paintings, which are usually compared with the Vatican's ones.












In almendralejo there are a lot of festivities like San Marco's pilgrimage, that is celebrated the 25 of April. They go to San Marco's chapel that is located on the outskirts of the city and they celebrate the day, I like this day a lot.






 Also the 15 of August they celebrate the day of the Patron saint of the city, Piedad.











They also celebrate a rallie on September in the outskirts of the city, i go there every year and I enjoy it a lot.






I like a lot Almendralejo, I like to go there because I can see my family and because I like to do things there.
