Favourite places

Esteban

The most beautiful place to visit in my city is the Alhambra castle. There has been a castle there since the 9th century, although it’s only since the 13th century that kings have lived there. The best time to visit is first thing in the morning or in the late evening, as the castle gets very busy with tour groups during the day. My favourite part of the castle is the gardens, as they have water running through all of them

George

My favourite place in my town is the sports center. I go there every weekend to play tennis with my cousin. He’s older than me and a really good player, but sometimes I manage to beat him! The sports centre is really big and it has two swimming pools. In the summer when it’s hot I like to use the outdoor pool, but my cousin prefers the indoor pool as it’s bigger.

Michele

I think that the best place to visit near where I live is the local museum. It has paintings from the 15th century that are very beautiful and sculptures, too. Most tourists want to take photos of the tower because the city is famous for it, and many of them visit the cathedral that is next to it in the square. Not many tourists go to the museum, so it’s always peaceful there.
