To the Mediterranean Sea! Not only for holidays, but also to spend the weekend or just the day, as in my case. It is so big the influence of this sea in our culture, that there are a lot of references about it in poems and songs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Our Mediterranean sea is almost surrounded by land, and it is connected with the Atlantic Ocean in Gibraltar. Its name comes from Latin, and it means \u201cin land\u201d or \u201cin the middle of the land\u201d. It has been an important route for trade and cultural exchange from ancient times to the present day, as well as a place of enjoyment and relax.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">I\u2019m pretty sure that the most famous song devoted to it is the one by Joan Manuel Serrat, but when I\u2019m thinking about summer, beach and sunbathing, I can\u2019t help singing to myself the lively rock song \u201cMediterraneo\u201d, by the Rebeldes, which was summer hit in 1988.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">So let\u2019s practice our listening skills with this catchy song. I was going to give you some vocabulary, but I have found a very funny and interesting video that explains every single sentence with pictures. But please, let me know if there is anything you don\u2019t understand!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>&#8220;Mediterr\u00e1neo&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Qu\u00e9 agobio de verano<br \/>\nTengo el cuerpo empapado en sudor<br \/>\nSe me cae la casa encima<br \/>\nYo ya no aguanto el calor<\/p>\n<p>La vida ya no es vida en la ciudad<br \/>\nLleg\u00f3 la hora de cambiar asfalto por mar<br \/>\nCansado de vivir en una jaula como un animal<\/p>\n<p>Quema la ropa de invierno y prep\u00e1rate para viajar<br \/>\nQue la tierra prometida est\u00e1 m\u00e1s cerca de lo que puedas pensar<br \/>\nCalifornia ya no existe, el sue\u00f1o acab\u00f3<br \/>\nPero yo s\u00e9 de un lugar donde brilla el sol<br \/>\nD\u00e9jame llevarte este verano donde est\u00e1 la acci\u00f3n<\/p>\n<p>Mediterr\u00e1neo<br \/>\nRuta de calor<br \/>\nMediterr\u00e1neo<br \/>\nA templo del sol<br \/>\nMediterr\u00e1neo<br \/>\nNoches de luz y color<\/p>\n<p>Si buscas sensaciones aqu\u00ed hay algo realmente especial<br \/>\nSi quieres un para\u00edso esto es lo m\u00e1s parecido que vas a encontrar<br \/>\nSi buscas algo que dinero no pueda comprar<br \/>\nY si quieres ver a Mescalina nadar<br \/>\nNo hay mejor rinc\u00f3n en el planeta si quieres so\u00f1ar<\/p>\n<p>Nos veremos en Ibiza, en Mallorca, San Lu\u00eds y Mah\u00f3n<br \/>\nBailaremos en Valencia, en Alicante, en Gand\u00eda y Benidorm<br \/>\nDesde l&#8217;Escala hasta Playa San Juan<br \/>\nEn Cadaqu\u00e9s, en Sitges, playa libertad<br \/>\nSeremos los elegidos en el templo del Dios del Mar<\/p>\n<p>Mediterr\u00e1neo<br \/>\nRuta de calor<br \/>\nMediterr\u00e1neo<br \/>\nA templo del sol<br \/>\nMediterr\u00e1neo<br \/>\nNoches de luz y color<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Mediterraneo.

No solo por vacaciones, sino tambi\u00e9n para pasar el fin de semana, o tan solo el d\u00eda, como es mi caso. Es tal la influencia de este mar en nuestra cultura, que hay muchas alusiones a \u00e9l en poemas y canciones.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Nuestro mar Mediterr\u00e1neo est\u00e1 pr\u00e1cticamente rodeado de tierra, y est\u00e1 unido con el oc\u00e9ano Atl\u00e1ntico en Gibraltar. Su nombre viene del lat\u00edn, y significa \u201cen tierra\u201d, o \u201cen mitad de la tierra\u201d. Ha sido ruta de comercio e intercambio cultural desde tiempos antiguos a nuestros d\u00edas, as\u00ed como lugar de entretenimiento y relax.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Estoy casi segura de que la canci\u00f3n m\u00e1s famosa dedicada a \u00e9l es la de Joan Manuel Serrat, pero cuando pienso en el verano, la playa, y tomar el sol, no puedo evitar tararear el marchoso tema \u201cMediterr\u00e1neo\u201d, de Los Rebeldes, que fue la canci\u00f3n del verano en 1988.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Vamos a practicar nuestro listening con esta canci\u00f3n tan pegadiza.
