When I was little, each year, diuring the summer holidays, my family used to rend a house in somewhere in Spain and we spend 15 days there. We had visited most of Spain but we stopped doing it because my brother, my cousins and inclouding me, started to spend the vacations with our friends, working,... But I miss this "family vacations", it was so funny! We have been in each autonomus region of Spain. We usually rend a house in little villages, I don't know exacly why, I guess it should be because there, is where the biggest houses where because we were 12 cousins and adding the parents we were 18 perosns in one house! We spent a really really good time and we also learn new things, the cousins, used to have a big room for all of us and the houses used to have a big garden with a swimimg pool where we swam altought the water were 5ºC. In Cazorla for example, we also had a tennis court (altought we didn't used it very much...), in the Pais Vasc the propietary of the house that we had rented had a farm where we went to "work", I put work between quaotes because we played more in the mountains of bales of straw than work, anyway, we feed the cows, we collected the eggs from the chickens and the propietary of the farm give us rides in the tractor shovel! In Palencia, the propietary of the house also let us work in his farm, but it was a differents one: he had a bee's farm and he tought us to make honey! He also had horses and we gone on some horseback riding. And we did it and more in our "free time"; during the mornigs, we did routes throught the mountain and it was also very funny! We went to beautiful places, we swam in lakes, rivers,... one year, we devote to look for fossils (and we found quite!), we saw a lot of animals: deers, rabits, snakes that my father and my brother like to catch,... actually, my brother was always searching animals: in Soria, he catch a big lizard and it bit his hand and left a good mark on it, and another year, I think it was in Cadiz, we devote to take care of a bird, a cat, shrews, two dogs and two turtles (a weird combination of animals) that we had found.
The years that we spend the vacations in the beach, we spend the hole day in differents beuatifull beaches diving, doing canoing trips, in boats,... and for a change, my brother was always catching octopus (of course, he also was bitten by one), eels, starfish,... And my summer, didn't end after all of this: at the end of the vacations, the "reduced family", I mean, without cosins: only my parents, my siblings and me, used to go to Mallorca or Menorca where we continue diving, going to a beautifull beaches,...
We always had a great time: all the cousins laugt a lot togehter, we knew many people,... Now, we do something similar: each summer, all the cousins went to a house that our grandparents have in Benicassim (Valencia) and we stay there for a few days without parents! It's also very funny because we know a lot of people there (all of us have been going there almost since our birth) and ther's also beach, waterparks, music festivals (the FIB, the Rotottom, the Arenal Sound,...), so we spend a really good time!
For all of this, I'm waiting patiet this summer, further, last year I went to Switzerland with my best friend and it was one of the better vacacions of my life (I will talk about this trip in another ocasion) and we're preparing another forthis year!
