Our city is not all about partying, you can enjoy doing a lot of thing, for example, if you like a
sport you
have a lot of teams to go to see their matches.
For handball fans, we have got a team called Ademar de Leon, Ademar plays in one of the best leagues of the world, Spanish League.Besides, it plays in Europe, Champions league against teams like Kiel ( the best handball team of the world).
Besides we have got a women’s team, CLEBA.
 |
This man is Martin Stranovsky, one of the best playerf of Ademar. |
But if you don’t like so much handball, you can go to see a match of Baloncesto Leon, they play in Adecco oro League ( Second division here in Spain, but we’re trying to promote to ACB, our “NBA”) .
 |
This is the place where Baloncesto Leon, Ademar and Cleba plays |
Here in Spain the most important sport is soccer, and also, we have an soccer team, La Cultural y Deportiva Leonesa, this team, which has been founded in 1923 and which has play in First Division, nowadays plays in Third Division, but I pray for returne to the place that we belong.

Leon it’s a good city to live, we invite you to come because you will enjoy here a lot.

Hi Jennifer, Nerea, and Alba!!
ResponderEliminarI'm Paige, a friend from Dallas, Texas. What a wonderful "Sunday tour" of your city! I like hearing about every aspect, from the daily life (yummy chicken!) to all the information about sports. I think your team really likes sports a lot because you packed it with important and relevant information. I hope your team moves back up into first division soon. What happened to put you in third??? Do you go to the Rastro a lot? I've actually heard about them in Madrid. Does every Spanish city (well, large city) have a rastro? What is the English translation? A flea market? A market?
I'm not sure who made the videos or why you chose them. I did watch them, but it would have been nice to know why they were chose, what theme they had, etc. I think the second one was from your city administration? Did you make the first one? I liked seeing the older retired men hanging out. What were they playing?
Thanks!!
!Hola! Soy Annie de UNH. Viví en Granada por casi seis meses. Después de este post, quiero regresar en un extenso más grande. ¿Qué es handball? He oido la palabra, pero no sé el significado.
ResponderEliminarMy professor said that we should correct your English, so I have some alterations for some sentences.
1. El rasto is a street market placed every Sunday near the Bernesga river from 10 a.m. to 15 p.m
“Placed” is a bit awkward, maybe you could try saying El rastro is a street market that takes place every Sunday…
Instead of saying “15 p.m,” we say 3 p.m. ☺
2. Not all is party in our city, you can enjoy doing a lot of thing, for example, if you like sport you
have a lot of teams to go to see their matches.
“Not all is party in our city” would be more clear if you said something like “Our city is not all about partying” English uses the gerund (a verb ending in –ing) more than in Spanish, so I can see why that may be confusing.
Also, an indefinite article is missing in “if you like sport,” we would say “if you like a sport”
3. “we’ve an soccer team” should be “we have a soccer team.” We’ve means we have in the sense of we have read the book.
Great post! Looking forward to reading more!
Hi Paige! Nice to meet you
ResponderEliminarI'm glad you have enjoy with our blog
In fact, we love sport, all kind of sport...
Cultural Leonesa plays in Third Division due a economical problem.
In Spain, there is a football rule which says that if a football club doesn't pay to his players, it will play the next season in a lower division.
We go sometimes, because we take our Sunday's morning sleeping and relax.
Yes, it's commun to find a "rastro" in each Spanish city, and although I dont know what is a flea market, I think that the best translation can be street market, where you can buy all kind of things. (Fruit, clothes...)
We have chosen this videos because we think that it represents a good part of our city and our costums.
The first video hasn't been realised by us, and the second video has been realized by the tourism agency of Leon.
The sport that older retired men are playing a kind of bowling typical from our city
I hope have answered your questions, and if you need anymore we're glad answer you.
Hi Annie! Nice to meet you
