8. Bikes and Mobility
I think the mobility it’s a priority for all but
in Holland they wan’t to save the energy
and don’t contribute to the global pollution,
so they use the bikes. I think it’s a great
idea and we have to do this in Catalonia.

South Holland, within the Rhine Meuse Scheldt
river delta at the North Sea. Rotterdam has
approximately 1.4 million people, ranking second

port of Rotterdam is the largest cargo port in
Europe and the 10th largest in the world. When we

11. Amsterdam
Amsterdam was created by farmers and fishermans.
The first habitants were two guys and a dog. In 1275
the people start to buildt it. In 1300 they built the
defensive wall and then it was an official city. There
the people usually ate cheese, herrings and beer
like Germany. In the canals, there were more than
60 species of fishes. They also had the second
biggest bridge of the country. The houses were a
long the little canals. In the XVII they started doing
beer, because they coudn’t buy it in Germany
because there was a war. Heineken was created at
the same time. The Protestant Church was created
in the S.XVII too and the west church is the most
important. They created the house boats and after
the second world war they built another
neighborhood because the poblation increased.
In 1887 there was the Revolution of the Eel. And
actualy, the houses are inclinated because the city
it’s a swamp and the biggest part of the houses are
old houses. For all the time the colour of the
Netherlands is the orange. Amsterdam also have
250 bridges but Venice a little bit more.
