Spain is made up of provinces and communities. On the map the communities are all the same colour (with the names) and the provinces are inside of the communities. There are 17 communities and 52 provinces. Madrid is a community and province in one. There is a dot on the map for each province we were in.

San Juan




The weekend of San Juan (June 24) there are lots of bon fires on the beach at night. Some people even have a pic-nic on the beach. At midnight everyone throws money in the water and makes a wish. After that people jump over the fires.
In march there is a festival in Valencia with fallas. These are huge sculptures made of carton and wood which get lighted on fire at night. For the week-end of San Juan they had one falla which Juan told me was just a small one compared to the ones they have in march.
