GLASGOW


This Easter my parents led me to Glasgow of holidays to visit his city and all its monuments. Upon arrival the first thing we did was settle on a 4-star hotel, then ate and finally went to see the wonderful monuments containing Glasgow City starting with the stadium is called Celtic Hampden Park has hosted the final of the UEFA Cup in 2007 and the stadium is called the Glasgow ranger Inbox stadium. Then we went to the library Mitchell, spacious and comfortable, is considered one of the most important libraries of Europe for its extensive collection of books, newspapers, photographs and maps, I was shocked that you can find endless information and read a variety of books. Glasgow is a cultural city full of museums, art galleries, theatres most of them are public and free. Also visit the manufactures of cotton, textiles based on their trade, also in the abundance of coal and iron has become an important industrial centre of Scotland. What a pity! Just the holidays, but I am pleased to have gone to Glasgow City a major city for its great variety both as culture and sports industrial

This Easter was the funniest Easter in all my life. My friends and I were to Glasgow, the second biggest city in Scotland and it was great!We arrived into Glasgow on Monday 6. We went to the Hunteriam Museum. Someone was yawning all the visit, but I’ve enjoyed a lot that place.We had dinner in the West End. And then, go to bed! We were very tired.

We spend all Tuesday’s morning shopping! Buchanan Street, Prince’s Square and Merchant City were great.The boys wanted to go to Celtic Park, the stadium of Celtic FC. We learnt a lot about this Glaswegian team, and we decided to visit the Ibrox Stadium, the stadium of the rival team Glasgow Rangers.

End Of Year Trip

Dear teachers of Butarque:

I will sincerely tell you that we chose perfectly our destination; Glasgow is one of the most fascinating cities of Scotland!
Firstly, the day after arriving to the hotel, we decided to visit some shopping streets, and our guide recommend us going to Buckanan Street, in the city centre. There are a lot of shops that aren't in Leganés, so I personally took advantages of it and I bought some presents.

The next day, there were some planned activities: we could go to a football match where The Celtic Football Club played, we could visit the University of Glasgow, or finally we could do an art excursion, which showed us some Mackintosh works ( a Glaswegian architect) and the hunterian museum.

As a conclusion, I must tell that I visited everything due to we had a very long week. Besides we learnt a lot and enjoy our visit, but, don't be jealous; we tried to buy some souvenirs.

We´ll see when we arrive there. Wishes:

Héctor

GLASGOW, A WONDERFUL CITY


Hello Elena:

I must say I'm missing you a lot, but I'm also having so fun! I'm with all my friends visiting this wonderful city.

On Monday we went to the West End where we visited some streets like the Buchanan Street, the Prince's Square and the Merchant City. It was raining, but the city was beautiful with all the rain.

On Tuesday and on Wednesday we went to visit the Hunterian Museum, which has a fantastic dinosaur's footprints collection.

This summer I think you should visit the Mackintosh Museum and specially The Willow Tea Rooms.

This week-end The Old Firm is playing!

Kisses and love
