INFORMAL LETTER

Dear Georgina,
This is the reply to your letter. You were asking me if there’s some place to spend the holiday in my country. There are a lot of pretty places but one town that I recommend you is Port de la Selva. My father works there and it’s not really far from where I live.

Port de la Selva is a small town with a relaxed atmosphere especially in winter because there’s nobody in the street. Summer is very different because a lot of tourists come there for its spectacular views and its beautiful coast and beaches. You’ll become friend with a lot of people because as you will be able to see, people are very friendly.

I like it because there isn’t only one beach, there is the main beach which is the largest and it often gets crowded. But there are more little beaches that are like coves. One typical feature of the latest one is that there isn’t any sand, there are stones and different form the other, in these kind of beaches there aren’t many people and they are quite small and also, it’s difficult to go there because the tracks are hidden.
Before to arriving at the centre of the town, if you go with one of these tracks I told you before, you’ll arrive to a deserted land where there’s an old lighthouse which doesn’t work but it’s nice to see and from here you can see impressive views of the town.
There are also restaurants, shops, newsagent’s… There’s a cake shop where I usually go on Christmas because they make delicious wafers.

Besides, if you want to do some sport, you can go to the nautical club where you will be able to do water sports like windsurfing, kite surfing, catamaran, sailing, etc. You only need to go there and choose which sport you want to do and then you will learn or do it with a monitor.

One more thing – If you want to go to the coves you’ll need to bring water-proof sandals because at the bottom of the sea you’ll find rocks and stones that can hurt you. Anyway, if you go to Port de la Selva or to another town you’ll have fun too, so I wish that I have cleared up your mind.

Best wishes


Love,
Júlia XX
