3. Las Vegas Nowadays, Las Vegas is growing very quickly, because of the fact that it has a privileged situation. It’s a quiet neighbourhood, well communicated with Avilés and other towns by bus and train and has all public services. At night, most young people go to Avilés where the discos are, but sometimes we go out here, to the pubs in which we can have a drink, play pool or just be with our friends.

6. El Llar There is a park built up with little bits of mirrors and, at the end of that park there is a place called ‘El llar’ (the translation of the word is “the burner of a kitchen”). It is an open air theatre. There are concerts, threatre plays or even young groups of friends playing their own music there.

8. An ‘hórreo’ The building in the photos is called ‘hórreo’ and it is a native building in Asturias which, in the past, was used to store food. It is made of wood and stone. Now some are built just as a monument, as a piece of Asturian culture.

10. Landscape through my window The photo on the left hand side is a playground and a park just in front of my flat, which I can see through my window. On the right hand side, where the cars are parked, There is a flea-market on Saturday mornings and people from all around come to buy and spend a great morning.
