I live in Elche, a city of the province of Alicante. I live in a flat near downtown with my parents and my little sister. My building is not too high; it has 4 floors, where live eight families, two homes per floor. I live on the second floor of the building. All floors of this building are very spacious and very well lit with natural light. The building is located near downtown street very wide and very busy. 

My flat comprises a large modern kitchen with a breakfast bar designed in shades of orange. It has two bathrooms, one larger than the other. One of them has a shower and the other one a bath. It has a spacious dining room with two sofas and a balcony overlooking the street. Here we see the TV as a family every day and eat with the family on special occasions. The flat has three bedrooms, the room of my parents, which is on the final of the hall. The room of my sister and mine. My sister's room is pink and my room has white walls and the bed in fuchsia. In my room I have a desk with a laptop where I study every day. Besides a large closet to store all my clothes. I love my room. Finally, the entrance to the apartment is through a hall decorated with plants and a large mirror.

Find information about a place you would like to visit and plan a holiday for yourself and friends.

Nowadays, I like to visit the city of Berlin, capital of Germany. Located in the northwest of Germany a few kilometres from the border with Poland. Berlin is crossed by the rivers Spree and Havel. Berlin has 3.4 million inhabitants. Berlin is the most populous city of Germany. After the Second World War the city was divided into two parts: the eastern part of the city became the capital of East Germany, while the region west of the city became the Federal Republic of Germany. Berlin is a cultural and artistic world. Therefore there are many things to visit. It is one of the most influential in the political arena of the European Union and in 2006 was chosen by UNESCO Creative City.
Brandenburger Tor.

First of all my friends and I will visit the historic city centre. Where we will see the Brandenburg Gate, symbol of the reunification of the country, located near the remains of the demolished Berlin Wall. Later we will also see the Reichstag, the German parliament, next to the Holocaust Memorial, 2711 concrete blocks that remind us of the horrors of the Holocaust by the Nazis. Also we will visit the Pergamon Museum.

On the other hand we will go to Potsdamer Platz, where today you can find modern shopping malls and skyscrapers. We will visit the Sony Center and Alexanderplatz in the heart of old Berlin, where is the TV tower with a revolving restaurant where we will go to eat.

Berlín is victim city and witness the most exciting events of the twentieth century. But it is also a city with great cultural diversity that is worth to visit.
