Holidays in Poland

Poland is located in the center of Europe near the Baltic Sea. It is a small, beautiful country. The northern part of Poland, located near Baltic Sea, has beautiful beaches. In the middle part of Poland, there are many industrial cities with factories.
If you like beaches and parties, you should go to northern part of Poland. The best, the most beautiful town is Sopot, which is located by the Baltic Sea. We call it the Polish Las Vegas because it exists only for entertainment. Sopot is not large; there is one main street where you can find all the entertainment famous in Sopot.
The southern part of Poland is quite different. It is a perfect place for tourists who love mountains. The Polish mountains, Tatry, are special because of the view and skiing. They are one of the oldest mountains in Europe. Another place in the South is the famous city of Krakow, the oldest Polish city, which used to be the capital. In Krakow is Wawel. This is the place where polish kings once lived. Krakow is also famous for the university, which is over 300 years old, making it the oldest university in Poland. In this area you can also find Wieliczka, the salt mines.
Another place that you should not miss is Wadowice, the hometown of Jan Paul II (the Polish Pope). Near Krakow there is one special place named Oswiecim. It used to be one of the "death camps" created by Hitler during the World War II. It is incredible to see the terrible ways the Germans killed people.
As you can see Poland is the perfect country to go on vacation. Poland makes a perfect vacation for everybody. I am sure it can satisfy every tourist even You.

That is great!
Welcome to our blog in Spain.
Thanks a lot for taking part in it.
Your description of Poland is something I like.
This summer I could visit Cracovia, where I had a very nice time, particularly talking to people. And also, I went to Zakopane, in the Tatra mountains, a beautiful place to stay for a week, at least. I was surprised to see so many people just wandering around in the town, and also quite a lot clymbing. The weather in August was like in Madrid now, very sunny and mild. I really liked visiting Krakow, and cycling along the Vistula river.
