And her brother and sister were called Ramón and Isabel too. She was living on Barcelona. They lived in a flat in Sants. Their flat had 3 rooms but they were very big. It had not got gas but it had got running water and electrical appliances. They had few facilities. She spent her childhood with her family, she was very happy. Her favourite game was “la comba”. She had not got many responsibilities because she was smaller than her sister and her brother. She went to school until she was 12 years old. She can read and write very well. She remembers this time happily because her family was together. Their parents worked in a manufactures.
