Puerto Sherry - El Puerto de Santa María

My Home Town

I lived here for over 3 years and although I have lived in other places in Spain, El Puerto feels like my home town. I don't actually have a hometown because I have moved around so often, but for me this is the place I have chosen. Not because it is the prettiest or exciting place in the world , but simply because it is familiar and I know the good and the bad of the town and it's people. When I come back to visit, visiting my friends there is like visiting my Spanish family.

Another way in which it is like my home town is that I don't want to live there anymore (hehe)

Pros and Cons

Pros:It's got some good bars and restaurants
Cons:Posh pijos and checked shirts. Kinkys and their noisy motos
In a nutshell:home
