Roy spent his summer holiday in July last year. He enjoyed every peaceful moment he had there in Spain. It was exciting for him to visit many beautiful places thanks to the help of a nice tour guide. In addition, he had a chance to listen to various types of music in many concerts and forgot the daily annoying noise in his neighborhood. Moreover, he also tasted different dishes instead of just boiled eggs and meat as usual. For all these unforgettable experiences, Roy will forever remember his wonderful tour in a lovely foreign country.
