In graph theory, networks play an important role in a lot of type of problems. In this paper we present some of them, sometimes without a clear relation with the classic definition of a network. They are enunciated in a real neighbourhood and the first step to solve them consists of translating the conditions of the problem to a graph. In order to get a good modelization, it must to take in mind the objective to reach. After the problem is modelized we apply the techniques or methods studied in graph theory. This type of problems increases the interest of the students, helps them to see the wide applicability of networks and trains them in the use of mathematical modelization.
