DESCRIBING WHERE YOU LIVE

I live in La Carolina, but I am from Santisteban, a small town in the North of Jaen and I am going to describe my town.

Santisteban is a small town in the North of Jaen, it has a population of 5.000 people and it's the most important town of the County.

It's a beautiful town, and it's great for walking around. There are two different areas, the old town with narrow streets around the Square Town Hall, like the spokes of a bicycle; and the young town which has wide, straight streets.
There are three churches, two museums (the most important is Jacinto Higueras' museum), one Primary and one Secondary School, two little hotels, shops, pubs...

The weather there is mediterranean, with hot summers and cold winters. The spring is wonderful, it's sunny but not too hot, and it's great for going to the country, to the river, to see wild animals...

Nowadays Santisteban is famous for 'Arcosaure Tracks' and for the main spring festival 'Pascuamayo', a religious and pagan festival which is celebrated in Pentecostes Sunday.
'Arcosaure Tracks' is a recreational area where there are four big dinosaures, and 24 pair of tracks on the ground, and there is one area for children with some swings, slides.. and one restaurant too, to have a drink or somethig to eat.

But I think the best things about Santisteban are the people, we are very friendly. It's a working country town and a traditional small town of Jaen. It's my town and there I have my roots.
I love my small town.
