The ‘Botellon’ issue

A place much visited in Granada is the 'botellódromo' ("bottle track") . It is a place frequented by people of all ages where you can go drinking. People usually go botellón (Spanish for "big bottle") first and then go to discos.


 Botellon suits  stores because it increases demand. People usually come there either because they use drugs or are just having fun with friends. The police come as well because people gather to drink at a particular site.

It also has its downside because there is less demand for alcohol in pubs and bars. People consume drugs and alcohol, so fights and arguments are quite usual too. At the end, the botellódromo ends up torn and dirty.

In my opinion the 'botellodromo' is a bad place and too frequently visited by young people where they consume drugs and fight all weekends.

MALTA

Malta is an island country. It is  member of the European Union. It is densely populated and consists of an archipelago situated in the centre of the Mediterranean, south of Italy, east of Tunisia and north of Libya. Because of its strategic location, it has been ruled by various powers and has fought over independence for centuries. Since 1964 Malta is an independent state and in 2004 it joined the European Union.



The Maltese archipelago lies on the edge of the African Plate, Eurasian very close. It is composed of the inhabited islands of Malta Gozo and Comino. On its shores there are a lot of bays provide good harbors.    It also has other smaller islands among which the islets of Filfla and Cominotto, or the Islands of St. Paul.

Maltese cuisine was born of the long relationship between the Maltese and Spanish that  ruled the islands.The fusion of flavours has given their kitchen a distinctive flavour in the Mediterranean.

The culture of Malta reflects the various influences of the countries that have ruled it until 1964, particularly from Italy and the UK.The Maltese customs, legends and folklore are studied and categorized slowly, like any other European tradition.

MY INTERVIEW WITH CRISTIANO RONALDO

Last week I was in Pacha and I met Cristiano Ronaldo and I interviewed him.

I asked him if he was mad about losing the Cup against  Athletic FC and he told me he wasn't, and he had to be positive and think about the future and  work hard for this not  to repeat again.
I asked him if he believed that Mourinho would leave or not  Real Madrid he told me that he did not care if he left or not Real Madrid and what he cared about was his career, not  the coach.

I asked him if he intended to stay at Real Madrid and told me that he was well in the team and that he would finish his contract.

Finally I asked about his girlfriend Irina and he told me that everything is going very well with her and with her and he is very happy.
