DESCRIBING WHERE YOU LIVE I live in Embalse, which is small tourist city in the west of Cordoba in Argentina. Also it is the most populated of the Calamuchita Valley, with a population of over 15,000 people. It is near industrial city, Rio Tercero, and Belgrano Village, so there are a lot of tourism in the summer. Although, Embalse isn't richer than other cities in Cordoba, it has important hydro-electric and nuclear power plant which provide energy to big cities of Argentina. There are some historic constructions too, for example Embalse Tourist Complex, Fitz Simon Hydrobiologic Plant, Alba Posse Museum, Eva Peron Museum, San Martin de Porres Grotto and so on. Recently many people have invested in properties and lands, there are new residential areas with very modern houses, bars, restaurants and casinos. The weather in Embalse is mainly warm. Winters are dry and cold and summers are hotter and wetter than before. The landscape is beautiful, similar to the Mediterranean, there is a big lake, brooks and rivers, forest and mountains, the air is so clean and there isn't as polluted as the big cities. Embalse is famous for its lake which is the symbol of the city. It has a well-known Spring Festival, one of the biggest in the province. In summer there are a lot of nautical competitions, and people do aquatic sports like swimming, sailing, water-skiing, boating, fishing and so on. You can't boring here, it is impossible! What I like best about Embalse is that we are so close to nature. When I feel tired of my routine, I can easily get out and enjoy going for a walk near the lake, sitting on the beach seeing the sight, just listening to the sound of water, wind and birds.
