A to Z of cities / towns - la "A" a la "Z" de las ciudades / pueblos

Question

Alphabetical Cities – A to Z of cities or towns

Las ciudades en orden alfabético - la "A" a la "Z" de las ciudades

The idea is to follow the “newest” answer with a new city or town.

La idea es seguir la respuesta "más reciente" con una nueva ciudad.

Your city should have at least 250,000 inhabitants. Not anymore

Tu ciudad debe tener al menos 250,000 de habitantes.

Change of rules – just tell us about the place you are in or come from – more interesting that way.

Then tell us in which country your city / town is located.

Entonces decirnos en qué país tu ciudad / pueblo está ubicado.

Write a simple sentence about your city in English and Spanish.

Escribe una frase sencilla sobre tu ciudad en inglés Y español.

Example:

London – The capital city of England.

I was born in London.

Ejemplo:

Londres - La capital ciudad de Inglaterra.

Nací en Londres.
