Hello friends,

Thank you so much for your postcard. We are students of 2nd year high school. We study in José Frugoni Pérez, called also La Rocha in Telde, Gran Canaria. We are 13 years old. Our high school starts at 8 o’clock and finishes at 2 o’clock.

We are on Canary islands, 8 islands located in Atlantic Ocean. We live in Gran Canaria, a paradise island, we have beautiful beaches: Maspalomas, Melenaras, Playa de inglés, Canteras beach, Salinetas...And in Pozo Izquierdo or Playa del Hombre beach you can surf. There are also mountains with beautiful landscape and hiking spots. In the neighbour island, Tenerife, we have a huge volcan, Teide, it is one of the highest mountains in

In our island, we have beautiful landscape and sightseeings. We also have endemic species: Pinzón azul or Canarian bird and lizard.

Our food is very exotic and delicious, for example, papas con mojo (potatoes with green and red sauce), gofio, sancocho… We also have a special drink clipper (strawberry drink) and nik with different flavours.

Canary island is very famous for its carnival, we celebrate from February to March. We dress up with costumes, we dance, we sing, we listen to happy music and there are a lot of contests. It is seen in many international tv channels.

We loved your postcard very much, hope you like ours.

We hope to hear from you. Take care, a big hug,

From class 2nd D and E, José Frugoni Pérez.
