Hi everyone! I'm preparing for the C1 Cambridge exam and practicing writing. I would be grateful if you could assess this post. The exercise is  to respond to the following prompt in 220-260 words;

"You study at an international college in your country. Your history teacher is planning a one-day study trip for your class and has asked the students for suggestions. Write a proposal considering two or three different places for history students to visit in the area and recommend which one of these places would be preferable for a one-day study visit."

This is what I've written. I'd appreciate your feedback and corrections. Thank you :) (IT'S PURELY FICTIONAL).

First of all, I would like to thank you, dear teacher, for considering student’s opinions to decide all together the destination of our upcoming trip. Since we are planning it in my homecountry, I have some recommendations of places to visit that I want to share with you. 

Undoubtedly, Madrid

As we have been learning in our last lessons, the Spanish capital has played a huge role in the entire history of this country. This is very noticeble in the city centre, where you can visit and explore a wide variety of museums and monuments in a very convenient and time-saving way. Of course, visting “The Prado Museum” is a must. Moreover, Madrid is provided with a pretty efficient public transport system, so we wouldn’t have any problem in moving around. 

In the heart of Andalusia 

Andalusia region is one of the most visited places in Spain. Nevertheless, the Andalusian city of Granada might not be that well-known. In my opinion, this city has also a lot to teach us about the Spanish history. The most famous attraction for tourists in Granada is The Alhambra, a gorgeous place to visit. In addition to this, I’d highlight the fact that this city it also known for its warm weather and its diverse cultures and personalities who were born and raised there. 

Being these two cities worthy places to visit, I’d decide for Granada. I consider that it fits preferably with the idea of one-day trip. It is important to keep in mind that Granada is more accesible and less crowded than Madrid and also I think it might be less known by most students.
