What is left of summer '26?

 

 

Summer is over, although we can still taste it not just because the heat is not gone, but also because we have some good memories to remember for ever or even dramatic moments you will never forget. This summer could be an unforgettable moment as you passed an important exam, or got a post somewhere you had wished long before or just because you met the partner of your life...

 

  

Summer '26 can have also marked our lives because of the World Cup Spain won or because of a song you will have always in your mind since it was being played when you came across your prince/princess of your life.

 

By the way, what do you think was the best song of the summer? 

 

It may have been the hottest summer of your life, as well, or the summer when you made the best journey ever or spent the best holidays ever!!! However, it can bring horrible memories to our mind: wars, conflicts, loss of a relative or friend, the end of a relationship.
