Let's go to Seville

Hi! My name is Mia and I’m 8 years old. I want to tell you about my trip to Seville, Spain. It was so cool! Seville is famous because of a music group called Los del Rio. They made a really fun song called "Macarena" that people dance to all over the world.

In Seville, we went to a place called Plaza de España. It was really big and had lots of pretty tiles and bridges. My parents told me that Los del Rio filmed a video there. I even tried to do the Macarena dance on one of the bridges! It was so much fun. We also took a boat ride around the plaza, and I could see all the beautiful buildings and gardens. I loved it!

After that, we had some yummy ice cream and walked around the city. There were so many things to see and do. I will never forget my trip to Seville and learning about Los del Rio. I hope I can go back one day!
