OÑA-by Elena Saiz

 Oña by Elena Saiz

My favourite place to spend the summer holidays is Oña. It is 320 miles from Madrid. Oña is a small village in the north of the province of Burgos, between Cantabria and Vizcaya.

It is surrounded by large rocky mountains with abundant pine trees and crossed by the river Oca. In the morning you wake up to the songs of birds. This place is ideal for summer because the temperature is very pleasant, warm and sunny during the day and chilly at night. There are good country paths for bike riding and hiking in the mountains.

So, I think, Oña is a fantastic place to relax and for doing sport and having a good time.

Besides all this, Oña has an important historical heritage several Romanesque monuments, Gothic and Baroque.

Finally the food is delicious. Good meat(steak and lamb), fruit and fresh fish from the Cantabrian Sea.

It is an idyllic place for summer time.
