MY LITTLE TOWN

From La Puebla,   just five kilometers towards Barcelona, it’s a town called Alfajarín. There, I was born and grown.

Now I am going to tell you something about my town.  So, you are going to walk along its streets and its main buildings.

Arriving at the village, we pass the roundabout,  we follow straight on and we find the chemist’s,  the medical centre and the bus stop. Opposite it’s the street that goes to the rest home. From the chemist’s we move back just a little and we turn on the right where the Cultural Pavilion “The Portaza” is located and where dances and cultural acts like the famous play contest are perfomed.  On the right it’s the school, we follow along its street and we will pass under an arch called “The Portaza”, it was an old door which closed the village.

After we arrive in  “Güete” Street and  Spain square.  First thing we find there, it is the elderly care Centre and the post office; we follow on our right and there it is the Town Hall and the Church of Saint Miguel Archangel, behind it’s Fronton square, but at present without court wall.

                         

  

Crossing the street, we  find Peña Street, and then we  reach the gully and if we go back to the right, there is a road which goes to a bridge, we cross it and afterwards there is a flight of stairs to reach Our Lady Peña's hermitage with a viewpoint from where you can watch one of the nicest views of the whole town and a castle from the eleventh century but regrettably in ruins.

Setting out again from Spain Square, we take a road, then we turn on the left and then the second street on the right and there, we find the new kindergarten, the sports pavilion, the swimming pool and the sports facilities. 

Finally these are the festivals we celebrate every year: Saint Isidro, in June the medieval festivity, and in September the Virgin of the Peña and Saint Miguel.

I hope that you like my town. I encourage all of you to visit it.

See you soon,

Ana Delia
