The wine making process
First, vines are grown in a soil called ``Albariza´´ and palomino grapes are carefully cut from the vines.
After that, musts are poured in metal thanks and the new wines are classified for ageing.

Finally, the barbadillo wines are sold worldwide. One note the manzanilla is produced only in Sanlucar de Barrameda.

Then and now
THEN: I used to have short hair and I didn´t glasses when I was seven years old and I used to be very shy with strangers. I used to like playing with my friends, eating in the restaurants, studying and doing my homework. I used to dislike listening to heavy metal music because to me the heavy metal is very boring and reading a book.
NOW: Actually, I am fifteen years old. I have short hair too and I have got glasses. I have had the glasses since 2004. I am fun and very pessimistic. I´am not as shy as before but I´am not an outgoing person. I enjoy playing computer games and playing football with my friends. I hate studying now, doing my homework too and I hate cleaning my bedroom because my bedroom is very large.

A holiday to remember
This holiday was very funny. I went to Extremadura with my family and my uncle Francisco. I went in September 2007 when i was 12 years old I went to Extremadura a town called ``Villanueva de la Vera´´.
I stayed a friends house. The house was very beautiful, but the kitchen was very small. The house was very cheap and the bed was very comfortable. I slept in a room with my sister and she said that her bed was very uncomfortable. I stayed for a week (10-17 September),
The first day I visited to two mountains where a boy collapsed. The first mountain was very beautiful and very tall. The second mountain had a river where there were birds.
The secon day I visited the xoo in ``Caceres´´ where was many animals. I love this zoo, but the zoo was very expensive. By the nights we went to the restaurant ``Bar Casa Juan´´ where the was good, but the restaurant was very small and was many people.
In general, the places were very cheap I bought a trousers of my father, t-shirt of my mother and necklace of my sister. The necklace was expensive. The friends house was very nice, the people was very good (the ``Extremeños´´ was very good people). I and my family must repeat holiday.
