THE PROTECTED LAKE OF BANYOLES
Our lake has a lot of History. It has passed bad times but also good
times. In the lake, there have been the Olympics. It’s the biggest natural lake
of Catalonia, and also has a path all around it, where you can enjoy the good
views. And recently, it has been considerate a “Protected area”.
The protection of the lake also has negative aspects. One of them is
that extreme sports aren’t allowed,
because they put in danger the animals. But I think that it would be nice to
have the chance of practicing extreme sports, because it is fun and it would
attract some tourists.
In the past, it was
allowed to practise water skiing. The wildlife was in danger, because of the pollution,
and a lot of animals died. Also, near the lake, there was a tip, and the water
there was polluted.
In the other hand, a protected area has advantages like that the lake is
always clean and pretty. A lot of tourists are happy and surprised about the
water being so clean. These tourists have to sleep somewhere, so they have to
stay in hotels, which means more money to the town.
Personally, I agree
with the protected areas, because if we don’t take care of our place, we will
lose it. And I think that we don’t want to lose such a lovely place. I think
that the calm of the lake it’s a sacred think, and the fresh air that
contributes is an extremely fabulous think.
