Reading and listening exercise

Ver la Alhambra en Granada es como entrar en un sueño. Sus muros claros y su historia te transportan. Oyes la guitarra flamenca, es un ruido fuerte y apasionado que te va a encantar. El jamón ibérico es una delicia salada en tu boca. Su sabor es inolvidable. En Sevilla, huelen las flores de azahar. Estas flores son dulces y muy suaves. Tocas un abanico español, su textura es dura. El aire que produce es suave y refrescante.

Translation

Seeing the Alhambra in Granada is like entering a dream. Its light walls and its history transport you. You hear the flamenco guitar, it is a strong and passionate noise that you will love. The Iberian ham is a salty delight in your mouth. Its flavour is unforgettable. In Seville, you smell the orange blossom flowers. These flowers are sweet and very soft. You touch a Spanish fan, its texture is hard. The air it produces is gentle and refreshing.
