She prepare and designe every coreography. She was born in Santiago de Compostela, and when she was 18, she translated to Madrid to study and work there. But she didn´t like her job in Madrid, so she emigated to Bertamiráns with her mum, and she study dance and founded her academy there. Now, she lives in Bertamiráns with her husband and her little son. I choose her because she is one of the best dancer in the world, she dances fantastic and she help all the people.

Explanation
This service is very common, everyone uses it. It's not cheap, but it's efficient. It is very efficient because it is until very late active service. The drivers are very sociable and will always smile at you. This service has a drawback, it pollutes a lot and most people prefer to use the bus because it is cheaper and if they do not leave them in the exact place they walk a little, but if in that place they want to go there are no bus stops nearby. They have no choice but to call a taxi which can leave you one step away from your destination

Explanation
Víctor was born in Namibia in 1965. When he was 13 he went to Angola with his cousin to take part on the civil war. There he learnt to use a gun to survive, but he didn't have to use it. At the age of 18 he emigrated to Cuba to study marine biology. He returned to Namibia 11 years later and worked as a marine biologist for 23 years. After that he came to Spain to improve his studies at Santiago University and he got married with Rocío González here. Now he is an English teacher who gives particular lessons in Bertamiráns, near Chavián. He can speak six different languages including Spanish, English and Portuguese. We chose him
for this interview because he teaches us English and we see him once or twice a week. We think he is a nice person. Thanks to him we learn about other cultures and languages.

Explanation
A Maía Square has several shops and services, such as blocks of flats, cafeterias, a post office, clothing or animal shops, a bookstore, a cosmetics shop and a bazaar. It also has a few benches located throughout the square, presided over by a fountain placed in the center.
It is an important place for the inhabitants of Bertamiráns because it can be taken as a reference as the center of the town, and it is an easily accessible and well-located meeting place, since it's very close to the main street (Avenida da Maía).

Explanation
I chose the municipal public library because it seems to me a very fundamental service of Bertamiransr because it facilitates both for young people like us, as well as older people, knowledge and information, through an organized collection of documents.
