BROADST<\/b>AIRS<\/b><\/p>\n

This charming Victorian town is in the south-east of England in the county of Kent (sometimes called \u2018the garden of England\u2019), and it\u2019s 80 miles from London. The town is not too big and the city centre is near the main beach, Viking Bay. There are also other beautiful beaches with golden sand such as Botany Bay, Joss Bay, Louisa Bay and Stone Bay. \"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Here there are a lot of shops, cafes and restaurants all around the world, including Chinese, Turkish, Mexican, and Italian.<\/span><\/p>\n

There is also a little train station, with 2 platforms, where you can take a train to London and the nearby towns. Here, the train, in my opinion, is the best way to travel because it is cheaper and faster than the car or the coach.<\/span><\/p>\n

The town is known for its sandy beaches, which attract a lot of tourists every year, and some of its buildings such as Charles Dickens\u2019 house, in which he wrote his novel \u2018David Copperfield\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the town centre there are also, in certain periods, some festivals, like the Water Gala, in which there are rides and the ferris wheel and people playing water games and sandcastles competition, or the Folk Week. In this last event there are a lot of people playing an instrument or dancing in the city centre streets. This is a very particular event and I liked it. <\/span><\/p>\n

There was a very inclusive atmosphere: all people together with no difference. There were also some stands that sold typical food and objects like clothes, garlands of flowers, handmade objects such as ceramic pots or bracelets, plaques written to beautify the house or the garden but also food such as fresh fruit, crepes and donuts.<\/span><\/p>\n

During the summer there are also fireworks.You can see them near Viking Bay four times: once a week for three weeks (18th, 25th July and 1st August) and finally on the 22nd of August. Before the fireworks you can dance or listen to live music in the square near the beach. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
