My favourite city


                            NEW ORLEANS

New Orleans, la Nouvelle-Orleans or NOLA is a city in Lousiana, United States, and it's located in the Mississippi River delta. The city was named after the Duke of Orleans, who reigned as regent for Luis XV.
It's known for its distinct French and Spanish architecture, and for its cross-cultural and multilingual heritage.
New Orleans is also famous for its cuisine, music (specially for the jazz) and its annual celerations and festivals. The most famous of this festivals is the Mardi Gras, an annual Carnival that means "Fat Tuesday"
In 2010 the population of the city was only about 343,000 people because it was catastrophically afected when the federal leeve system failed during the Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
The oldest neighborhood and one of the most famous is le Vieux carré or the French Quarter. There, in the heart of the French Quarter we can find "Bourbon street" a famous street in NOLA.
New Orleans is also world-famous for its food. The city is known specialties like beignets, gumbo... And my favourite: Praline, a candy made with brown sugar, granulated sugar, cream, butter and pecan.
I've always loved New Orleans since the day I saw a documentary about it. NOLA has music, history, food, performers, and no only professional artists, but all kind of them, like street performers, who strive to show their art to the world.
Definitelly, for me, New Orleans is the best city in the world.
