English writing practice v - Describing a picture The attached picture shows the main park of Giron. Girón is a municipality of the Santander Department in northeastern Colombia. One of my favorite things about the center of Girón is those old cobblestone streets. Walking on old cobblestone streets is like a trip to the past. This city was built under Spanish rule almost four centuries ago. Today, despite having undergone minor modifications, Girón still conserves a colonial atmosphere. The colonial atmosphere, the numerous hotels, the warm weather and the town's cathedral is what attracts so many tourists during the whole year. One disadvantage of living in a tourist town is that sometimes our little town gets overcrowded with tourists and minor traffic jams occur. I guess we are victims of our own success. As a final note on this subject, I am very happy to see many tourists visiting our small town because that's good for the economy and many local residents live from tourism.

There's a pole at the center of the image and a security camera is mounted on top of the pole. The cameras are connected to the main police station. A couple of trees are behind the pole. People use these trees for shade from the sun. Behind the trees an old cathedral is barely visible. The Mayor's office is on the left. It is forbidden to park in front of the Mayor's office. In the image you can see a white tourism van parked in front of the Mayor's office. Unfortunately many tourists are unaware of local traffic rules and drivers frequently get ticket.
