Here we celebrate the traditional festivals as an offering to the virgin Marie and the town is recognized as a national tourist destination and also its habitants are very polite. Aquitania has three natural and typical foods, the scallions, the potatos, and the trout. these products are imported to several domestic destinations, because to high demand they represent in the domestic market. Additionally it is very important to emphasize that the town bordering the Tota Lake, and It has a beautiful beach in the middle of the mountains, that is the delight of the national and international tourists. The qualities available to my hometown are many, both in human and material resources, as we saw previously, it has beautifuls landscapes, It has agricultural production and excellent human qualities, so it's a privilege to say I'm an Aquitanian girl.
