What is this city?


It may be the most technological city in the world. The bustling city is so enormous, the citizens live in soaring skyscrapers, and in very small flats. There are a lot of people moving from one site to another one every day, so it can be difficult to get your bearings.

There are so many people that make the city clogged with traffic, so it´s recommended to use the modern underground. Besides, it´s possible that you won´t like their food because it is very different from Spanish food; they will probably give you some undercooked fish.

a city on the bay


In this city the sun comes out every day from the bay and the city gets busy. In this city a lot of people live on top of one another. The office blocks cover the blue sky. People go there to go shopping and to work. It has always been very famous because a really well known prision was built in one of the bay's islands. Also because have been filmed in it's steep hilly strets a lot car chases. The main mode of transport is the tram but there is a special route more famous than the others because it also has appeared in many films, one of them was the rock. If you want to use this tram you have to wait for a long time because there is always a big queue.

An african city


This city is a mixture of European and African culture. While you are walking in the street, you can see a woman wearing a t-shirt and jeans and another one wearing a veil. In the city, there are also many contrasts. In the rich part of the city, the shops are very luxurious and pricey cars are seen.
However, in another part of the city, children beg and it is difficult to walk on the grubby streets. The city is a witness to the history of many mediterranean cultures. The awe-inspiring beauty of the treasures that the city owns will attract you at first sight.
Nevertheless, around the main monuments, many people will try to sell you tacky souvenirs. This is the main problem of the city since the places are always bustling and the magic of the city disappeared. But, in a country that is trying to develop its economy, the tourism plays an important role to achieve it. Probably the aspect of the city that most will impress you is the haphazard traffic. Drivers ignore traffic lights and the road becomes completely clogged.
There is no doubt that after visiting this city it is imposible to forget it.

Great philosophers,orators and poets expressed themselves in the palaces of this city. It's easy to get your bearings here because of the big soaring towers of the mosques and walls and in-your- face towers of the Muslim and Christian period.

Can you guess it?


This city is located near the Mediterranean sea. It's one of Europe's most ancient cities and it's highly populated. The language spoken there comes from Latin and most of the people living there are extremely religious.
The most noticeable characteristic is that there's a large amount of interesting museums, cathedrals, monuments and buildings. All of them are very ancient and they reflect the culture lived in this place over the centuries. That's the reason why a lot of tourists go there in order to visit them. Furthermore, there's a soaring building which can be seen from a lot of places in the city but it doesn't help you to get your bearings since it's further than it seems.
As far as gastronomy is concerned, there's a specific typical dish and it's served in many different ways.
Moreover, the roads are clogged by the traffic and the best way to go from one place to another one is using the underground or the buses, because they stop in the most important places to visit.
In conclusion, we can say that it's a wonderful city to go on holiday.
