3. Letter from the editors.
Dear Sirs and Madams,
This is the first edition of our Cultural Agenda - part of our
Party Time project that we are doing in our English classes.
We didn’t have much time to do it because it was the
Christmas Holiday but we hope that in the next editions we
will improve it. We will try to cover all the main events that
take place in Baix Ebre and Montsià, the two regions
which are next to Delta del Ebro and have similarities in
the way they celebrate their festivals. This information will
also be in our blog of the same title in which there will be
videos, photos and explanations too.
We hope you find it useful and above all enjoyable.
Yours faithfully,
The Editors.
