REPORT ON TRAVEL. ( informal style).
.
When I was working as an official veterinarian in Cantavieja -Maestrazgo de Teruel-, situated on the north-east of the province, I learnt to love this territory for its spectactular views of mountain scenery and being an sparsely inhabited area. I was living there from 1997 until 1998. After that, I have regularly visited the region. This year, I already was there for 3 days in february with my family, skiing in Valdelinares -well, I wanted to say learning skiing-.
.
Last month, we decided to go to Albarracin (Teruel), on the south-west, for our summer holidays because my husband had not enough free days –the companies rules- and we wanted to visit this area long ago. We decided to complement the trip with a visit to some friends in Madrid and of course, we had to drop in the Warner Bros Park with the children -they would be happier for the next travelling events: museums, ruins, sights,…- and all of us –parents also- had a sensational day.
.
After leaving Madrid, we decided to go to Albarracín passing through the area called “Alto Tajo”. This took us all the day but it was such an impeccable place that people should visit at least once. The road accompained the river meandered gently, and we could delight with stunning views over the mountains. We could have a bath in a placid meander of the river and looked a deer which was grazing in a field, peacefully. We arrived to Albarracín watching an interminably blue and gold sunset.
.
In Albarracin, we were seightseeing all the day. In the morning, we went to visit the municipal museum and the castle –now in rebuilding-, which was built by the Moors during their occupation of Spain, also we went into the Cathedral and its museum. Before lunch, we strolled around the town. After having a nap, we decided to see the antique pictures –from stone age- painted by our prehistoric ancestors. Several nature paths, that we had to do by foot, took us to different places where we were hardly able to distinguish between the stone and the paint.

I would rather recommend your visit to Teruel. “Teruel exists”, it is claimed by their habitants. I will come back as usual because I have become fond of Teruel.

HI!
I enjoy a lot with your writting... I would like to visit Teruel because, I have never been on that place, neither in the surroundings. It´s true... Teruel exists... I prefer that kind of turism than the "beach turism"... I live near Alicante and honestly, all this area is overcrowded...
I didn´t find any mistake :( so... let´s wait to teacher mati... XD ...
lovely writting... (:
Congratulations Elena! I have read it quickly but I haven't seen any important mistake.Surely you will pass the writing test.
On the other hand I would like to add that Albarracín is a wonderful place to visit. I was visiting the city last year with my family. We spent only three days on Easter holidays. But they were unforgettable trip. We also visited Dinopolis and it was snowing the last day.
Sorry I mean it was an unforgettable trip.
Excellent Elena, you are doing me swear to correct you.
-I just had a doubr 'from 1997 until 1998' or 'from 1997 to 1998'?
-Also, put a comma between "and, of course..."
-I don´t know if it would be more correct to use "I have been" instead "I was.." since you used "This year" to start the sentence.
If you don´t pass the writing I will chain myself in the gate of EOI
Errata:
to sweat
doubt
1. I was living there from 1997 TO 1998 (from... to... colocation). After that, I have regularly visited the region.
2. ... we went into the Cathedral and its museum. ((For me, it sound better:)) Before the lunch/ Before having lunch, we strolled around the town.
3. I would rather recommend ((( you(?)(to?) I don't know, but 'I would rather recommend YOUR visit -it sound )))
