ESTEPONA  

"It's what you want"

Description:

Estepona is a large village which is on the coast of Malaga in Andalusia. It has 60.000 inhabitants.

Estepona has many beautiful beaches and mountains where it snows rarely, and are excellent for hiking.

It also has many parks where children play happily with their pets, with the ball and also is where teens spend the day with friends.
It has museums and a bullring where does a summer theater.
Its port is quite large and there are many boats moored in the summer where you can also ride a catamaran.
It has many good schools and institutes where children and teens learn to form and make a better future for this nation.
The hotels are great because, for example, has five-star Kempinski. There, tourists can spend a great holiday in Estepona.

My opinion:

I think that living in Estepona is great because you meet great people and lots to do, so whenever you have a good. You can go swimming at the beach, climbing a mountain, take a walk or play with your friends, you can go have fun with your family and friends to the fair in May and in July to hop on the rides.
I believe that Estepona is great and nothing will change my opinion.

Here there are some projects made by my classmates telling you a bit more about Estepona.

FINLAND'S CLIMATE

Seasons and nature in Finland

- We have four different seasons in Finland. The temperature can change on a large scale.

- The Finnish nature is very pretty. Nearly 75% of our area is woods. We have more trees than you have :) Mostly of our trees are pines, spruces and birches.

- There are lots of lakes but they're quite shallow. The biggest lake is Saimaa.   

- January and February are the coldest seasons and July is the hottest season of the year.

- We have more rainy than sunny days.

         

Spring

- It’s quite cold (0 - 10 degrees) in the spring. In Finland spring lasts from March to May. The days are getting longer and the weather is getting warmer. 

                

Summer

- Even you wouldn't believe it, Finnish summers are quite warm. The temperature is more than 10 degrees above zero and we are really proud of that. In the middle of summer we often have nightless nights when the sun doesn't set at all. 

                

Autumn

- The autumn is very colorful period of the year, because there are red and yellow leaves in the trees and on the ground. The days are getting shorter and the weather is getting colder. Finnish autumn starts in the beginning of September.  

                

Winter

- The winter is very dark and cold. The temperature can be over - 20 degrees. There is a lot of snow and we're going to drown in it, so if you want to you can come and take all the snow from our backyards :) 

In the matter of fact, we don't fight or ride with the polar bears or whales (but we guess that the polar bears could like this weather.)

Flags Of Different Countries

Spanish flag

       
          The red and yellow design of the Spanish flag is derived from a flag contest in 1785 organized by Charles III in order to find a flag that was easy to see at sea. It was chosen by Charles III himself  and designed by Antonio Valdés y Bazán.
          The flag consists of three horizontal stripes: red, yellow and red, the yellow stripe being twice the size of each red stripe.It also includes a shield in which the crown stands for the Constitutional monarchy and the supporters symbolize the geographic position of Spain. The Pillars of Hercules represent Gibraltar and Ceuta on either side of the Strait of Gibraltar. They display a motto in Latin, "PLUS ULTRA," meaning "More Beyond".
