Hinojosa de la Sierra

Hello, my name is Lucia and I am the girl who was with Pernilla during the trip. I have to say that I am very happy to have met all of you, and I would like to go again for a visit.

Now, I wanted to make a brief description about my village, called “Hinojosa de la Sierra”. My village is very near Soria, the town in which I live, approximately 18 kilometres away. It’s a small village in which nobody lives during the winter. I usually go in summer, because it is when all the people arrive and when I meet my friends who live in other cities. Normally, I stay there during all the months of summer. I remember that when I was small, I preferred going to my village to going to a summer camp with my friends from school.

In my opinion, it’s a very beautiful village in which you can do a lot of activities. We have the river Duero which crosses on one side of the village, and in which I usually go for a swim. The water of the river is very cold, but when you get out you feel really relaxed. I also do more activities like going out with the bicycles to the nearby villages or playing football and other sports.

In the middle of August, the village has three days of holidays. The first day, there is a band during the night. The second day, there are typical traditional games, like cards or bowling. The last day, the people from the village have lunch in the main square where the entire village gets together.

The village has three important monuments, a palace in the entrance, a castle in the middle of the village and a gothic church.

In some aspects, I would prefer to live there than in the city, because it is a very peaceful place, surrounded by nature.

I hope you like my photo of the village.

My best wishes

LUCIA
