The next activity is karting in Valga.

Other activity that you can practise here is kayaking, we are going to do it in Ulla’s river.

We are going to do paintball in Caldas de Reis.

Adventure in Yucatán Peninsula

Pamela and me  are going to travel  to a place in where there are the most beautiful landscapes in the world, Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico.

We are going to do different types of adventure sports in different parts of this area, and we are going to stay here during four days.

The first day we are going to visit Chichen Itza's “cenote”, it is a water tank that is under the Monument of the Snake.

So here we are going to practise scuba diving.

The second day  we are going to go to a different area in the Yucatan Peninsula, our new destination is Carmen Beach which is within the tourist zone called Riviera Maya and we are going to stay in this area the rest of the days.

Here we are going to practise parachuting, so we will enjoy the beautiful landscape of this zone.

The next day we are going to practise two different activities in the beach, the first one is flyboarding and the other one is kitesurfing, before practising these activities we are going to take some lessons to learn how to make them.

The last day we are going to practise caving, the cave which we are going to explore is submarine.

This is our itinerary for four days adventure trip, we think that we will have a great time on this trip.

Entroido in Galicia!

Good night!!

On my new post I'm going to talk about one of my favourite parties, it is the Entroido.

Entroido is the name that we use in Galicia to name the Carnival, here it is celebrated forty days before Easter , so it usually coincides with the month of February.

In the area where I live it is not celebrated as much as others, but there are activities for children and night parties for teenagers and adults.

Almost every day at night people go to the party but Monday is the day in where there are more people, but my favourite day is Tuesday because near my village there are carnival parades, I go every year to Puebla to see them, this year there isn't parade on Tuesday beacause the weather was bad, but the parade was the following week.

Another celebration is so called "O Felipe" in where people wear black clothes and they act widows and shout in the street because they are sad due to the death of Felipe, finally he is burned in a bonfire.

I went to the Felipe a lot of times when I was young.

Also, during the Entroido people make typical desserts, one of them are the donuts, others are a type of pancakes nemed "filloas" and the latest are the "ears".

In my family is my grandmother and her sister the persons who make them and they cook very well, so I love these desserts!

I love disguising and this year I decided to wear a clown costume because it is very fun due to it has a lot of diferent colours, and also I painted my face like a clown, as you can see in the pictures.

I went to the party on Monday with Nerea and Nazareth who were disguised just like me.

Description of myself.

My name is Irene and I am 16 years old.

I was born on June 23, 1999 in the clinic La Esperanza in Santiago de Compostela.

I live in a lovely and beautiful town called Palmeira, I live in a house with my parents and my sister.

I'm tall, I have brown hair and brown eyes too.

In my free time I like being with my friends, my parents, playing with my little cousins and especially with my sister because I love her so much and with her I like, for example, going to the party or shopping or just spending time with her because we have fun and we laugh a lot when we're together.

I also like to watching series, Grey's Anatomy is my favourite, and listen to music, my favorite singer is Pablo Alborán, my sister and I went the last summer to two concerts of him and they were fantastic and we had a great time.
