My Best Holidays

In the 90´s, when I was a child, my family and I spent our holidays in Mirasol, near Algarrobo, in the Region of Valparaíso.

Mirasol is a beautiful beach of yellow sand and green sea, but children can´t swim there because its waves are very dangerous. There is a place called pirate’s cave next to the beach, which is fun to visit, and young people practice parapente and another extreme sports in this place.

I will never forget those holidays because all my family traveled to our big house there. I remember that house was sorrounded by hortensias and a picket fence. It was a very quiet and relaxing place. I ate food cooked by my grandfather and her cousins (who died a long time ago) and played with my brothers and cousins. I used to walk along the beach and collect shells and algae.

At night, we went to the centre of the town, to visit the handcraft fair. Then, we all played cards and laughed a lot.

I disliked the public transport of the place, because the buses were always full and very slow. But the good thing was we could see all the beachs in that way.

I would really like to go to back to Mirasol someday. It’s a great place to spend the holidays.
