Unexpected problem abroad Five years ago my wife and I decided to visit the Portuguese coastline for holidays because it was pretty close to our home and we hadn´t been there before; so we found some days off, made the luggage and drove happily to our neighbour country. First we visited Oporto, which it is in the north. I must admit that it was an amazing city with beautiful momuments like the bridge over the river Duero, and there were also friendly people. After that when I drove south to Lisbon I had to change my tourist plan because there were some roadworks in the highway, and I found myself driving throughout an old narrow road. Suddenly I suffered a wheel punture and I had to stop. Then I try to call to my insurance companý but unfortunately they weren´t able to understand me because I didn´t speak Portuguese. It was dark, My car was broken down and I coudn´t find help anywhere, so I decided to stay in a nearby mysterious hotel, It was rathet frightening. The next morning, We found that we had stopped in one of the most unknouwn amazing places in Portugal because of the incredible views; what´s more, We even met an old fiend of me who was working there as a waiter and he had the pleasure to help us with our broken car. In the end, My friend became our tourist guide for some days and we really enjoyed ourselves. If we hadn´t suffered that car wheel punture we wouldn´t have come across that unexpected beautiful place and we woundn´t have met our helpful friend. After all of that, we felt relax and happy.

what does it mean? can anybody explain what this means? "You scrub up well yourself" thanks

Special cooking taditions part 2 (continue from part 1) But if you prefer, you can visit Tanger, a famous Moroccan city situated in the north of the country where the weather is mild and the locals are quite friendly and helpful. There you can head to the old city centre and find some of the best restaurants where soon you will feel like being really hungry because of the nice smell from their kitchen. I recommend order a main course called a “kebob” which is some fresh local lamb brochettes shared with Couscous which is some seminola vegetables with secrets spices. This will make you taste the Heaven. Finally you can take a Moroccan Black Tea with some local nuts, as a dessert. I can bet you you will not regret. To sum up, there is a lot of to find out about these two wonderful countries that are so close geographycally and are, at the same time, so different concerning Cooking culture. Perhaps if you decided to go on holidais you would visit both countries and compare their customs and couisine.

Special cooking taditions part 1 Nowadays a lot of turists not only look for an amazing accomodation by the sea o near the mountains or even close to historical monuments when they are on holidays, but they also look for trying some tasty traditional dishes. This market sector has been increasing recently and It seems to me it will keep increasing in the following ytears. That is why I would like to make a report for this Turist Magazine about two beatutiful and in the same time, well-known countries which although they are in different continents and have quite diverse customs, both are pretty close, in fact they are only separated by a narrow sea and a famous geographycal point: the strait of Gibraltar. Do not you know thay they are yet? I hope so. They are Morocco and Spain. First of all, I must say that their common history and same weather have influenced quite a lot in their traditions, especially in their dishes. What I really like is that, on the one hand, their couisine is so similar regarding ingredients and spices and, on the other hand, so different as regards the way the dishes are made, depending on the area you are. Here there are some of their greates dishes you could order if you visited they once. If you spend some days in the Eastern coast of Spain you should go to a genuine restaurant by the sea in Summer and order a “Paella”. This delicious dish is made with the best local yellow rice with some seafood and spices. What is more, I would recommend order a traditional drink called “sangria” which is a sort of lemonade made with Spanish red wine and some of the best and fresh fruits in the area like oranges from Valencia When you finish your meal you should order a sweet traditional dessert called “Buñuelos”, they are light and fluffy and melt in your mouth. Eventually, do not go away yet without trying an amazing herbs shot because It will help you with your digestion. (continue in part 2)

Bread Museum Last week, most students of my school visited the bread museum in a nearby town. We had been planning this sort of trip a long time ago because we were told it was really exciting. First of all, we went on a great bus which took us to the museum, I was not a long trip but we coud watch and enjoy the amazing views of the Land of the Fields where there were some growing wheet. Then, as long as we got the museum, we were able to spend some time close to a gripping park until the museum doors were opened. Then a fantastic spokeperson showed us the whole museum. We could find out why the bread museum was placed there, the reason was the town had had an old tradition of making good bread. There were also some ancient machinery to make bread, it was amazing. As a result we all had a good time. In the end we could even make our own bread with our hands, I had never made any bread this way but I found it quite exciting. After that, we went on the bus again to get home To sum up, I recommend to visit this stunning bread museum to everyone who is interested in old customs. Next trip to the cheese museum in a beautiful village where I hope we will go sooner rather than later.

along vs throughout is it the same "along" than throughout? ex: they were walking slowly along the road last night they were walking slowly throughout the road last night
