For breakfast, Lucía eats toast, biscuits (galletas), cereal, fruit and yogurt. For lunch, Lucía eats at school, and the typical school lunch is paella, a Spanish rice dish with seafood or chicken mixed in. The paella comes with octopus (pulpo), chicken (pollo), shrimp (gambas) or seafood (marisco), but her favorite is paella with chicken. Lucía also loves breaded chicken (milanesa de pollo) with chips or pasta on the side for lunch. For dinner, Lucía eats spaghetti carbonara or a Spanish omelette (tortilla española) that contains eggs, potatoes and onions. As a snack, Lucía enjoys bananas, oreo cookies or sandwiches (bocadillos). Lucía loves to finish her meal with dessert, and she enjoys eating ice cream in the summer when the weather is warm, but prefers to eat chocolate pudding or churros in the winter when it is cold outside.
Lucía lives in a town just outside the city of Ourense, and she can drive to the city from her house in five to ten minutes. Her house is two floors with one garage. The first floor has a kitchen, a living room, three bedrooms and two bathrooms, and the second floor has a kitchen with a living room connected, known as salón cocina in Spanish, and it has two bedrooms, one balcony and two bathrooms.
At home, Lucía is responsible for making her bed each day, which has become part of her morning routine. She also cleans the table before and after her and her family eat, and she sets the table by laying silverwear and plates down on the table.
