I live in a village on the coast in Catalunya. 50 years ago everything was very different.

The village was much smaller. The buildings used to be small houses and low blocks of flats. People used to buy in small shops in center of the village. Now, people live in blocks of flats and go shopping nearly house or big supermarkets out of the village.

Transport has changed a lot, too. Before there wasn't as many roads as now. People used to ride bicycle to go from one place to another and few people drove car. Now there are more streets in the village, there are a lot of that goes from one village to others and almost everybody drives his own car every day.

Before there wasn't some entertaiments in the village. It was a village that used to live by fishing. Now we live by with tourism and there are more entertaiments (cinema, pubs, restaurants, museums...) .

In conclusion, the life, before, was quieter than now, but I like more the life now than fifthy years ago.
