I found an interview to an English person who lives in Olot.

I found it interesting and so I would like to share it with you.

Juli Ann Ellis moved to Catalonia from the US in 1999. She lives in Olot with her husband. She lives in Olot with her husband and her son.

Juli explains us that she live in Olot a little over 11 years. She thinks that the thing would like to change is the expensive price of the things, and she goes to Girona for buy.

The thing that she most miss is the food and the family. And when she goes to visit the family she brings Ratafia for they.

She things that the bus system is fantastic and if we visit Olot we had to visit el Museu dels Volcans, Parc Nou and Restaurant La Deu. And the place where is avoid at all cost is the hospital.

And for finish she said that the best time of year to plan a visit is in September.

"Los Protegidos"

Now I am going to talk about a TV serie that it called "Los Protegidos".

It is to transmet all Sundays at ten o'clock. It's interesting and different to the others series.

It's about a childrens who have a different powers, and there are people who want to take the childrens for a one reason that we don't know yet.

The main characters are Mario and Jimena, (Mario is the Carlitos father, and Jimena is the women who is in the house like the mother for the childrens) and the childrens, Carlitos, Lucia, Lucas, Culebra, Sandra, Angel and Blanca.

The objective of Jimena is find her son, the objective of Mario is help Jimena and for the children the objective is learn to control their powers.

The children, Mario and Jimena live together in a house.

Also the children go to school and they had to watch over for the powers.

Carnival.

Every year at the end of February or at the beggining of March it's celebrate one tradition all the world, the Carnival.

This year like every year I disguise with my friends.

Friday 4 of March I am going to go to Roses, Saturday 5 in Sant Pere Pescador and Saturday 12 in Castelló d'empúries.

In my town, Sant Pere Pescador, Saturday at four o'clock begins the "rua" that all people who is disguise will go with float and it takes a turn around the town. Each of the float bring their disguise and their music. Also there are people who will walk without carriage. After the turn there is dancing in the "Centre Civic" until nine approximately. And at twelve there is dancing another time until four or five a.m.

The next day, Sunday, like every year there is a rice in the park.

White week

This year in Catalonia we have a holiday week since 28 of February until 6 of March because we started one week before in September.

My family and a friends of my parents, we went to País Basc, San Sebastian.

The first day we left at 6 a.m. and we arrived there at one o'clock approximately.

During these days we went to San Sebastian for see the town, and also we went one day to Bilbao for see the town and the museum Guggenheim. (In this museum we found the english teacher, Joan Carles).

We were fifteen people and we stayed in one rural house.

This house only were for us. We breakfast there, but everyday we went to had lunch in a restaurant, and had dinner depend the day, in the house or in a restaurant.

There were three floors. The first floor there were the livingroom, the kitchen and one toilette. In the second floor there were four rooms for the four couples. In the last floor there were two rooms, one for the boys and the other for the girls.

This travel was fantastic, we had fun a lot.

The places were beautiful, and the rural house was perfect because it was only for us.

And it was the first time that I have gone to Pais Basc.

Every year after the holiday Christmas, the seven day of January began the discounts in Spain, mainly the big stores, the clothes shop, shoes, etc, and approximately until 28 February.

During this time we can find articles with a discount of 25%, 50% and some of them with a discount of 70%. The majority of people go to the shopping because this will can to save money. It's habitual see for the TV imatges of the 7 day of January, the first day of discounts, where we can see the people to come in the bigs stores in the moment of their aperture.

The establishments are obligates to expose the antic price, the discount price and the percentage discount.
