There are many surprises hiding in your way,

take the lead, explore markets, have fun, enjoy your play.

Never would you find a better place to visit,

if you are clever you won't miss it.

Although most of the days are sunny and you can go to the beach, sometimes is rainy and you´ll have to teach.

Some of us love beaches, others high mountains, some hurting animals as bulls, some rescue cats and dogs... We still need to grow up as civilitation and develope us at our best!

Intelligent kids we have in our schools, waiting for us to teach them sure. Great men and women in the future they can be,of course, in an awesome country and civilitation we will for ever live. Farmers, firefighters, officeworkers or even pilots, they want, in their dreams, to be and this can be possible if you agree. Let's give them some chances, in a sunny or rainy day.

They have a wide range of possibilities ahead, the whole world in their hands. Our task is to lead and help the future generations fulfill their dreams. This can be done with lots of work and effort. We ought to show them the different resources there are in Spain and what they can achieve with them. Spain is a treasure for tourists, for those who want to spend a few days on the coast sunbathing as well as for those who prefer rural places to have some rest. Friendly people welcoming foreigners coming from here and there they will meet in their way around this absolutely fabulous and charming place.

Our country is full of treasures that have to be discovered by new generations. The general terrain and physical features such as mountains, rivers, proximity to the sea and the good weather conditions in different seasons or even particular national holidays, feast days, festivals as can be carnivals and commemorations that makes Spain a great nation. For all these reasons, Spain attracts tourists from around the world to spend some days in this beautiful paradise. Therefore, my fellow citizens, ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country.

Hidden surprises are awaiting for those who wish to live the experience. Not in a lifetime can anyone get to know Spain from North to South, from East to West. Unexpected paradises everywhere to suit all tastes: the cold, the rain, the sun, the mountains, the skies, ancient traditions, excellent food, anywhere you go will please you. Mother Nature blessed this land gave it watr, fields and sun. Men and women along the years have worked hard to make this country real. Admire the history of its old cities and enjoy a glass of wine in all your visits!

Food, history, nature, traditions... Thousands of options in just one location! But did you know... that there is an invention that can take you everywhere in one simple action? Open a book, take a seat, have a look... do you see what I mean? 44

What if you don't like the location? Open a new one and discover another nation! From Africa to America, from Asia to Russia. Beautiful places with different faces. The cheapest ticket to buy, the fastest way to fly! What are you waiting for? Do you need me to tell you all night long?

"Countries and continents inside. Taking off takes a few seconds. Getting rid of the worst of your days for free. Living in a beautiful country and reading elsewhere,"

It was a frosty morning when Paco set off to the local library thinking of the best way of getting away. Get those destinations which were beyond reach. Speeding up his pace and making up his mind about the next book hi was going to take from the shelf. Shelves full of exotic destinations. The most he approached the most he felt the excitement.

He entered the libray. That space full of peace.

As he was walking along the corridor he saw an ajar door which reminded him of her daughter and her mistery books. "Mary and her insides worlds" he thought while he listened to steps coming closer from behing. He was familiar with that cadence, those sounds of female steps.

Definitely there was a connection between his thoughts and the situation in front of him. That day he had woken up with a strange feeling and that door and those steps made him feel uncomfortable.

The only thing he wanted to do was scape with his family to another country. Spain was not his country any long.

But…where should they go to start up a new life? If they were not going to stay in Spain, they had to think about it carefully. Definitely it had to be a place that made them feel at home in some way, a place where books were very important. He wasdetermined to leave, knowing that it would be a one-way ticket trip. He was shivering. It was cold in there, so he ran to get rid of this feelingand, to runaway!

He decided not to waste one minute to tell his family, get ready and take up the Company’s offer.

“There, we go!”, he said to himself.

His future started this very day when he decided his runaway from past, from memories. Here, there wherever books were he'll follow them. New horizons for them all. Books and family reunited at last . Farewell old country where culture didn't matter at all. Let it disappear in the sun, under strange footsteps that are not ours. He'll take only a few things for the journey, what was most necessary, useful but what was it? It reminded him of his schooldays when his teacher asked the class to make a list of the things they'll take to a desert island. Everybody said stereos and useless stuff. Not me, I always said ...a book.

Alas, you can't always runaway from your past... Whilst he could see himself starting a brand new life in a new country with little more than a book in his hands, sooner or later he would need to face reality -- he'll be seen as an alien from the point of view of his destination's citizens. And then, memories from his beloved Southern Spain would arise: the increasingly immigrant population, working hard to earn a living and barely support their families, while some others are able to live a leisure life. Now he could understand some of their faces' expressions...

Memories of his beloved Spain

caused him a lot of pain.

Beaches and mountains,

valleys and plains.

Landscapes he'll miss again and again.

One of these mornings,

won't be very long

you'll be look for me

and I'll be gone......(a dirty and old sea)

By this reason, take care our beaches and nature

so that our descendants have of it pleasure...

Spain nation, free of urbanization

I'll take care of every place.
That is what I would like to say.
But I would like to avoid
the corruption nowadays.

		Walker, your treads are
		the path and nothing more;
		walker, there is no path,
		the path is made when walking.

Walk and walk and don't look back. Remember the downhill path is easy but there is no turning back. If you want to be at the top of the hill just keep walking and going and going.

But if you feel like swimming

just take of all your clothes

get rid of previous thoughts

and enjoy the sun shining...

Isabel Paradinas

As long as the sun was shining, swimming in the sea was delicious, but she had always been a bit scared of the dark colours the sea would turn into when the sun was gone, and the creatures that could emerge from this unknown submarine world...
