In this post I'm going to speak about my roots, where I come from and
how that has affected my way of life or even who I am.
I live in a small city in the North of Spain called León. I've lived
in León for all my life but my parents come from a village near
León, in the countryside. I want to speak something about my
experiences in the countryside because this has made me a little bit
different than the other people of my age. I'm not a country girl
(even if my friends usually say I'm posh) but I've always liked being
in the village with my grandparents and sometimes help them with the
tasks. That has given me a different point of view of the things we
consume, because, like my grandma says "nowadays children think
that the milk appears at the supermarket magically".
(This is the village where my grandparents live, there's less than 200 people living here)
Talking about León the first idea that comes to my mind is “León
is a city with a village soul”, I cannot remember where I read this
sentence but it's totally the truth. León is considered a city
because of the population, although in the way we live, León is
still a village.
I can imagine you don't understand what I'm speaking about, but after
reading the main features of my city you will know what I mean with
these words. In León you know all, or almost all, the people (maybe
you don't know somebody but you have sometimes heard about him or her
because he or she is a friend (or even family) of one of your
friends). The other thing I can say about León is that it's a really
safe city (of course sometimes bad things happen but normally you
shouldn't worry). So I've grown up in a place with all the facilities
of a city (hospital, cinema, shopping centers etc) but the security
and advantages of a village.
León has also a lot of tourist attractions, not only the monuments
(the cathedral, many churches, the Roman wall....) but also the
cultural events like Easter. In Spain there are a lot of religious
processions at Easter, but Leon is one of the best known.
Elena reading your post i've understood that you are very patriotic, you really love Leon and for you it's the best place in the world. But now that you came in Finland you can analsye the differences and the similar things between the countries. Hope that you will forever think and speak so positive about Leon. Good luck!
ResponderEliminarIt was interesting to read your description of León since, as you may know, I have been there a few times. I must say I got more of a town/city feel about it but that must be because I don't know so many people there! León really is beautiful, and must be a nice place to live in.
ResponderEliminarYou are also lucky to have your roots in the countryside, and have an idea of where many of the supermarket products come from. Grandparents are so precious to teach us many things, aren't they?
