This is my new compositon .it´s already checked.

I live in La Carolina, Jaén, Spain, which is a city on the Southern slope of Sierra

Morena, and South of The Passage of Despeñaperros.

It has a population of 15.198 people. It´s one of the biggest cities in Jaén , and it is 66

Km from Jaén.


Carlos III founded La Carolina in 1767.I think it´s the newest town in the

province of Jaén. It´s one of the cleanest citiest I´ve ever seen, and It´s great

for walking because it´s very flat. It´s flatter than other cities .It´s like a

chessboard.

The city shows paralled and perpendicular streets. There are different kinds of

squares: .circle, octogonal, semicircle, rectangular and square squares.


The best monumentsof the city are:

- The Palace of the Intendant Olavid.

- The Church of The Inmaculate Conception.

-The Jail.

-The Torres de La Aduana ( customs towers?)

-The Pylons Foundation.

-The Monument to St John of the Cross.

-TheMonument to Battle of Las Navas de Tolosa.

-The Archaelogical Museum.

-The Despeñaperros Nature Reserve.

-The Natural Park Sierra of Andujar .



La Carolina has a Mediterranean climate. The weather in autumn and spring is

rainy and windy .The summer is very hot.


La Carolina is an industrial city. It´s famous for pickled partridge, partridge paté

( I like it very much!) , olive oil, wild meat, several soups, game meat, rabbit, desserts

like bacon from heaven, rice pudding... .


The biggest tourist attraction in La Carolina is probably the Carnaval.La

Carolina is the most carnaval (carnavalera) town in the province of Jaén.

Everybody goes out in the street wearing a fancy dress .

Groups of people called "chirigotas" sing everywhere.

There are some holidays too:

-Saint John of the Cross.: 24 November

-The fair: 11 to 15 May: It´s very funny. Everybody spends most of the day

in the street dancing, eating and laughing .A lot of people ride horses in the

streets.(I like it a lot , too).

-The Celebration of the Foundation: 1 to 5 June.



I think the best things about La Carolina is itself .It´s a village not as big

as Jaén, It´s quieter and safer than a big town. But I don´t like living here

a long time; I prefer to live in Jaén.
