Belén Boluda Cervantes
Mi nombre es Belén. Vivo en un barrio de Madrid, Rivas Vaciamadrid. No es muy céntrico. Es un barrio bastante tranquilo. Hemos tenido la suerte de no estar en el centro de la capital. Aquí tenemos alrededor muchas zonas verdes y eso nos ha dado mucha vida. Gracias a que tenemos una casa bastante grande, con terraza y balcón, no hemos tenido la sensación de encierro en ningún momento.
