The cultural focus of Capítulo 1 is the country of España. After watching the
videos on Myspanishlab, reading the textbook, and exploring other resources
share something you learned about the culture of España (comida, fiestas, sitios
turísticos, historia, etc.). Include a picture.
La Mercé Festival is the largest celebration in Barcelona. It is dedicated to the Virgin of Mercy. To celebrate they parade through the streets with "enormes muñecos de colores." The Gigantes (Giants Parade) shows large replicas of noble kings, queens and other nobles as shown in the picture.

After watching the videos from MySpanishLab and reading from my textbook, I learned stuff about Spain that I had no idea about before. One interesting thing that I learned that I didn’t know before was that Salamanca, a university, is one of the oldest and most important universities in Europe. Another thing that I learned is in many Universities in Spain (Europe) is that they offer many classes for foreigners to take as their summer courses. These kinds of classes are offered in June, July, and August.

I also learned that like Americans, Spanish college students enjoy going out to dances and clubs. However, the music is not exactly the same. People in Spain (especially the young students) like to listen to rock music in Spanish. The two most popular Spanish rock groups are “El Canto Loco” and “Fito and Fitipaldi.”

¡Voy al Perú! Voy a la sierra y la costa. Yo quiero ir a la costa porque me gustan la playas y tomar el sol. Voy a la sierra, particularmente la ruina de Intihutana. Es muy importante de la cultura y es muy interesante. Voy a Lima pero no quiero ir a la parte más moderna de Lima porque no me gusta ver la arquitectura moderna, me gusta la arquitectura colonial.
ReplyDeleteEn mi fantasia, soy rica y viajo frecuentemente por avión para otros
ReplyDeletepaíses. Por ejemplo, un viaje in mi imaginación es para Peru. Voy a
ir Lima porque tiene un aeropuerto mayor. Voy a Cuzco para a ajustar de
altitud alto por tres diás. Entonces viajo por la cordillera para Machu
Pichu. Machu Pichu es La Ciudad Perdida de los Incas y es muy antigua e
interesante. También, voy a visitar las líneas de Nazca y Pachacamac.
