ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE

COMMENT 18

Nowadays , I think that in Spain people don´t use many alternative therapies , but some people use them to treat mild illnesses .

On the one hand , alternative therapies are good because you can use them to treat a mild illness instead of using traditional medicines . In fact , apitherapy is a remedy that has been used in many other countries for centuries which consists of using the power of bee sting to treat serious illnesses. 

On the other hand , not all the therapies are good . Sometimes they don´t give you a good result in your health . They can become dangerous too . If you are allergic to any of the things that are used in this type of therapies , you will die .

In my opinion alternative therapies can be good but you need to be sure before carrying them out because they can become dangerous too .

DESCRIBING A LOCAL DISH

WRO10

I live in Andalucía , Spain and we have lots of delicious local food , but the most popular dish is the Spanish potato omelette , which you can find in all Spanish restaurants .

The potato is originally from South America and then was known by the Spanish people . The potato omelette is a simple dish to cook , which consists of potatoes and alive oil virgin extra . To cook this dish you only need eggs , salt , olive oil , potatoes and if you want , you can add onion .
The only thing you have to do is fry the potatoes in oil and mix them with the eggs and the onion .

You can eat it cold or hot , with or without onion and very or little cooked . People like eating it in bread too . If you want to eat it , you will find it in the supermarket , but if  I could , I would make it myself because the taste and the texture is different when you make it yourself .
You can eat potato omelette in other countries , but unless they are made in Spain , they will not be so delicious , so if you want to try the authentic potato omelette , come to Spain !! .
