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
Ana is a self-employed worker in a shop called "El Ratón Marcel", in A Mahía Street. She lives in Bertamiráns with her husband and two children called Celia and Martín. In the past she worked as a laboratory doctor but she wanted to have her own business and do something for herself so she decided to create and work in a store on her own. She also worked in Santiago de Compostela and she did pendular migration every day from Bertamiráns to Santiago. The shop has recently opened and it has a lot of customers. She sells children and baby clothes. It is important in bertamirans because it sells clothes for young children of many sizes, from newborns upwards. In the picture she appears in the store with clothes racks and clothes around her.

Explanation
I have taken a picture of the New York Brewery because it seems like a very nice place to eat or have a coffee.
The staff is very affectionated and cares of the hapiness of the client,that's what I think is a good bar for the people of bertamirans.
The place is very beautiful,the decoration is made of photos of New York and with classic materials from the bars.
