Isla de Samos, Greece

Oh, wonderful Samos, Greek island of the loves of Zeus and Hera, that you lodged them b odes of Marco Antonio and Cleopatra. Divine island where his best beaches are in the area west, and that, unfortunately, has lost part of his delight with the terrible forest fires that have destroyed it during the 90s. Nevertheless, the island keeps on being one of the most beautiful tourist destinations of the Aegean Sea.

Port of Kokkari


The ruins of the ancient Samos seem to run of here for somewhere near the whole island. It turns out to be curious to see how they are mixed by the big quantity of bars and restaurants, especially at night, when the night animation, if it was not for the neon lights and the modern music, well it might be said that it is celebrated in the ancient Greece.

The most nearby beach is that of Potokaki, which scarcely is to ten minutes on foot. It is necessary to cross the ruins of the Roman baths and the ancient port. The only negative aspect is the nearby airport, which breaks sometimes the oasis of local calmness.

For our taste, the Kokkari area is better. The fishing people is a succession of alleys that end in the bay, where the fishing ships swirl concerning the fish restaurants. It is a question of half a kilometer of beach, which spreads beautifully from the port. There is very good ambience in the night, where the people mix with those who go out of the shops.

The capital of the island is the proper Samos, a place full of coffees and restaurants along with the sea. Far from this pother, it is interesting to get lost for his cobbled streets, in search of the Archaeological museum, which there lodges an army of ancient sculptures, between which there is included an enormous statue of five meters of Kouros, who has the mystical serenity of a Buddha.

Hill below we have the charming old town of Year Vathy. It looks like a world completely apart from the terminal of ferry that has left us in the port. It is a delight to walk along the narrow alleys full of picturesque shops.

We have the cove of Psili Amnos to only one kilometer of distance, with his local bars, a place rather to sunbathe before swimming. Further away we have Kambos, a narrow stripe of sand, in which to lie down and to relax or to eat grilled squids in the night.
Samos is an island in which to be able to spend a weekend, covering his small villages, buying in the street positions. In the north of the island there are the best sceneries, to which we come across serpenteantes highways infested with vineyards. The south is more historical, with corners like Hera's Sanctum, which went so far as to have four times the size of the Parthenon, and the tunnel of Eupalinus, an aqueduct excavated in the VIth century with an incredible precision.

Eisenstadt, the city of Haydn

For the lovers of the music, Eisenstadt is one of the cities that is worth knowing, since in her Haydn lived approximately two hundred years ago, one of the biggest composers of the history of the music.

palace


How to come

Eisenstadt is a city that is in Austria. To come up to her it is possible to take a flight from Spain (at present there are direct flights) that they come up to the airport of Vienna. From there, it is possible to rent a car up to Eisenstadt, which is to approximately 65 kilometers.

What to see

In the city, there can be covered some of the most interesting places related to the life of this composer. Haydn was born in Rohau, to 45 kilometers of the city, but it is Eisenstadt the one that is considered to be his city.

The composer, which is met like the “father of the symphony”, was 30 years living in the city, in which it was in musical teacher of one of the richest and powerful families, the family Esterházy. In the street of Hauptstrasse of puede to see the landscaped palace that they were possessing, and that helps us to do to us an idea of the power and the influence that they had in the city.

For any of her we can enjoy baroque mansions and coffees, which he is worth visiting. Inside the Palace Esterházy, which was constructed in 1672, he emphasizes the room Haydn, a theater of excellent acoustics with really impressive baroque fresh air. Here it was where the brilliant composer presented many of his works.

The Cathedral of St Martin is different of the stops that it is worth doing, not only because it was the place in which Haydn realized his most solemn interpretations, but also because it is a building of a big historical value.

In Haydngasse we can visit the house in which the composer lived for twelve years, and in that oy there can be contemplated scores and some of his personal objects. And other of the points that we must not leave to ourselves is the hill Bergkirche, in which a church meets the Haydn mausoleum.

Nottingham, the city of Robin Hood

Any tourist information office of Nottingham can organize a visit guided by the city to you. It is sure that all of them will bring you over to the most dear personage of the area, Robin Hood. The rebel of Sherwood's Forest well could have been a fiction personage, although nobody knows it really, but his histories and adventures with the sheriff of Notthingam and Lady Marian, they have turned into the whole legend.

Nottingham


Other of the big attractions is the Castle of Nottingham, one of the biggest fortitude of the United Kingdom, intimately related to the legend of Robin Hood. Not in vain, it was the hearth of the sheriff of Nottingham, and there is a statue of the just hero to the outskirts of the walls of the castle. Nowadays you will see a few beautiful gardens and a museum that, when it opened in 1875, was the first museum financed publicly that opened out of London.

It might be said that the biggest attraction of Nottingham there are the galleries of the Museum of Justice, which will take us across the history of the British judicial system. It includes a judgment simulacrum with George Beck, a troublemaker who was condemned to death. The cells can be visited in that the prisoners were in the Victorian epoch. The truth that the visit well costs the price of the entry.
It is possible that it it does not seem to simple sight, but Nottingham is the city with more caves of the whole Great Britain. The Caves of Nottingham s on only someone of those that we can see in the whole Nottinghamshire county. They had many functions throughout the years, enclosed an antiaircraft refuge in the Second World war.

To walk along the cobbled alleys of Nottingham is other of the real delight of this medieval city, where it seems that, in any moment, someone will appear to give us news about the last adventures of Robin Hood. We can sit down in Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem, who claims to be one of the most ancient pubs of the United Kingdom. His history goes back to … 1189 …

Casablanca, passion of the Mediterranean in Africa

I believe that if Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman had not led in 1942 a beautiful love story in Casablanca, probably that today to few ones there they would sound this city, the biggest port of the North of Africa. Casablanca is a city that, almost without wanting it, turned into one of these cities movies star. Nevertheless, it has much more that to offer us that a simple glass and good music in Rick Café.

Casablanca


His strategic place, natural port on the Atlantic coast of Morocco, and to the southeast of the Strait of Gibraltar, have turned it for ages into an attraction place for all the tourists. Nevertheless, the first ones that came up to her were the tribes Berbers of the desert, in the VIIth century, who founded a fishing port to which they called Anfa.

This name is still remembered, since many streets of Casablanca take it, as well as several places of the surroundings. But when the Anfa inhabitants were wrapped in the piracy and the slaves' commerce, when the Portugueses, and later the Spanish, submitted it, they were seen in the need to change the name to him into that of Casablanca.

A tremendous earthquake in 1755 ordered below all the colonial structures constructed for Portuguese and Spanish. He had to be a Moroccan sultan who was initiating the reconstruction works one century later. The Britons contributed to it, but neither not with money nor labor, but with the tea, which little by little, and already with local extract, has been called him sometimes the Moroccan whisky.


Finally, they were the French those who took the control of the city at the end of the XIXth century. In the 20s and the 30 of the XXth century, began turning Casablanca into an African wild Indian of Art Deco, constructing enormous white buildings. That legacy still can turn in a city with wide avenues, trees, gardens and stately squares.

The ambience that is breathed in Casablanca is the typical one of a city of the south of the Mediterranean, with coffees, restaurants and many shops of sweets. The coffees and the breakfasts are so popular as the Moroccan tea or the local kitchen. Boulevard de la Corniche is the famous highway of the coast of Casablanca, which he leads to the beaches and the most exquisite places of the city.

The night life of Casablanca is especially in the area of Miami Plage and Ain Diab, without forgetting us of course of Rick's Café. Walking is very popular in Casablanca, although if you go in car, to park is somewhat difficult, therefore the best thing is to take a taxi.

Do not remain without experiencing the extract of a city as Casablanca. If it was the stage of an intense love story between two of the biggest actors of the history of cinema, who knows the surprises through that he can make us live.

Andorra is a destination of the most advisable thing. Now when we are in winter, it is one of the most advisable destinations to go to ski. Pero Andorra is much more than that. His sceneries, really impressive, the pueblecitos of around …
andorra
One of the best forms of beginning covering Andorra is to do it for the vale of Incles, of glacial origin and one of the most impressive of the area. You can choose between the trip of Aigües Tortes of the Siscaró or the Route of the Marmot, any of the two will offer us interesting sceneries and impressive conference.

In this area you can find also some itineraries ecoturísticos and approach the parish of Encamp. The route of the Circus of Pessons, to which there can gain access anyone that is interested, spreads over the area of Pyrenean lakes, where we will be able to discover the flora and the fauna of the area. The route of the Forest of Campeà also is very interesting. For the lovers of the nature, the Nature reserve Vall de Sorteny is an almost forced visit. In him they can be discovered up to 700 species of plants and indigenous flowers of the Pyrenees.

Other one of the most interesting activities that we can realize in Andorra is the ascension to the Comapedrosa, the highest peak of the country (skylight, that this is not for anyone, but for those who are preaprados). Of course, for that they obtain it, the sceneries are impressive.


The vale d'Enclar is other of the points in which the lovers of the senderismo can enjoy. But if there is something that we must not allow doing it is to visit the vale of the Madriu, Perafita and Brightness. It has origin glacier and the UNESCO declared His Patrimony of the Humanity in 2004.

Also, although it it does not seem, Andorra is a good place to practise diving, since it has lakes (to 2000 meters high, the whole experience) in that Diving Andorra organizes very interesting activities. For example, an excursion on foot with donkeys that take the material and later, immersions.

They usually realize the immersions in the lakes Juclar, Estany de Iílla or Llac Negre. Certainly, what is clear is that Andorra has a very interesting offer for the lovers of the nature.

The Cannon of the Rio Wolves, impressive scenery

We speak frequently about the impressive places that can be known out of our borders, but the true thing is that in Spain there are also many places that are really impressive.

cannon laughed wolves


In Soria there is one of them: one treats as the Cannon of the Rio Wolves, a really impressive place. From above, we can see a green line to the fund of the cannon, forests of pine and holm oak that they give us an impressive scenery, which is perfect for the lovers of the photo.

How to come?

We can come from Soria for the N-112 up to reaching the Market town of Osma. Once you are in this point, it is necessary to take the regional one SO-920 up to coming to Ucero.

What to see?

The Center of Interpretation of the Cannon of the Rio Wolves is in the Ucero outskirts. It is precisely this people, in addition to Hontoria of the Pine grove, the fact that one of the most impressive delimits this impressive ravine, undoubtedly, of the province.

The walls of the cannon come to height of hundred meters, an impressive sight from which it is possible to meditate, as we were saying, the forest that wraps the footpath for which the river mends Wolves. If we begin the way from the bridge on the river, we will come at once to a pine grove and to the chapel of San Bartolomé, from which it separates us approximately one hour.

It is a question of an interesting Romanesque chapel, which construction we owe the templarios, which raised it in the XIIIth century, making a clear trace of his presence like that in the area. In the walls that exist after the chapel, we can see also a series of caves.

The river disappears between the trees, but soon we find it again, there comes to the Hontoria people, an enclave in which it is worth doing a stop.

Ciudad Real and his natural spaces

Ciudad Real, with his almost 20.000 km ², is the most extensive third province of Spain and one of five provinces that compose the Autonomous region of Castilla-La Mancha. Replete with gifts for the sight and the palate.

criptana

Traditionally Ciudad Real, it has been considered to be the capital of The Spot, natural region of quixotic delight. His capital is a small, calm town, but with this delight that does that the visitor does not forget his nations, kind as to the entire world Cervantes said; of his rich gastronomy, with plates that his geographical limits have come out like the crumbs of the shepherd, the ratatouille of La Mancha, the duels and damages or the exquisite eggplants of Almagro, for quoting only some of his most recognized delicacies. Also his sceneries, extensive colored oak woods flatness, trigales, vineyards and olive groves that get lost in the horizon and make us discover a really immense sky.

criptana

Under this sky there rise the field giants of Criptaza, big protagonists of universal quixotic acts.

These sceneries have gathered internationally notable recognition on the part of diverse institutions like the UNESCO. Between them we are going to emphasize only three, which more represent the landscape variety of the province, forming a contrasts axis from the northwest and the provincial limit with Toledo, up to the southeast, real scenes and luxurious photos:

Herdsmen's national park:

Placed, bordering on Toledo, it has a 40.856 hectares extension to the northwest of the province, and it is a question of one of the spaces protected from major relevancy in the Iberian peninsula. The park is composed by wooded saws with the richest flora typical of Mediterranean scrub, bushes, maples, holm oaks, cork oaks, rockroses, heathers, strawberry trees, rosemaries, and a varied fauna, standing out spectacular lads of big size as the black vulture, the Iberian imperial eagle and the golden eagle. The works of conservation and adequacy of this fantastic reservation, declared a National park in 1995, have not made but to increase the local attractions, since a series of routes has been designed senderistas that will do the delights of any excited one of the nature.

Nature reserve of the Lagoons of Ruidera:

This picturesque rosary of lagoons, cradle of the Guadiana, is framed in a park with a 3.772 hectares extension placed to the southeast of the province to the limit with the province of Albacete. It is formed by 15 lagoons that are chained some with others and are separated by natural and cracked walls forming a really charming scenery. It must be a forced stage, especially in summer, for any visitor.

ruidera

National park of the Stage of Daimiel: Placed in full flatness of La Mancha, it has a 1.928 hectares extension and it was catalogued as such in 1973. They are the last exponent of what once it was the fluvial stage of The Spot, natural reservoirs that form during the rivers for being the too flat area, what does that the waters do not run with facility and form the stage. These owe his formation to the overflowing of the rivers Cigüela, the Guadiana and Záncara. His characteristic wetland flora will not make anybody indifferent, and between his fauna composed principally by imperial herons, real herons, is necessary to stand out the colored duck, symbol of the park. Regrettably this park has been on the point of disappearing for diverse causes, the big drought that he has suffered in the last years owes principally to the scarcity of rains and to the performance of the man, who has excavated hundreds of wells, many of illegal them, for the irrigation of the area. The last rains and a diversion of urgency from the river Tagus have stopped the underground combustion, but to return them the splendor of a few years ago there will have to be the neighbors and the institutions who really commit themselves to it.


It is not necessary to forget the gastronomy of La Mancha, apart from his immense cheeses variety, we have the incomparable crumbs, fish stew, pistomanchego, tiznao, asadillo, gachasde vetches flour, bizcochá, syrup, there is no excuse not to take delight with these marvels, Ciudad Real is one of the better connected provinces of Spain placed between Toledo and Cordova it has been historically a forced step place. Today, thanks to the divided highways network, the stations of Alta Velocidad of Ciudad Real and Puertollano and, more recently, for his airport placed between these last two localities, it is so easy to come like enjoying the stay.

Really, he is worth visiting this city.

    History of Ceuta, attractive autonomous city of Spain

    The city of Ceuta is one of these places full of attractive corners and spaces for discovering to only a few kilometers of the Spanish territory. Probably the reputation of the autonomous city as tourist destination is still not the one that his streets and miscellany of cultures would deserve.

    Ceuta


    A very interesting way of penetrating into the territory native of Ceuta of simple form can be taking a bus for an excursion of one day from the Spanish coast. This trajectory assures stops in the square of Africa, to the edge of his bay, Torch winds next to the mount and in the cove of the Desnarigado.

    This first capture of contact, it serves to take from him of above any type of prejudice that it could have loaded in the rucksack before beginning the trip. Once relaxed and arranged for the relaxation, a cup of some of the teas strong and full of flavor, it opens the appetite to go out in search of more.

    It is in this moment, when it is perceived, in all his intensity the influence of the Spanish and Arab crossbreeding, in the confluence of the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean, and the finished meaning of this by-name of La Perla of the Mediterranean.

    There attracts attention the architecture of the Spanish colonial epoch, intermingled with the Arab traditional constructions of this type of territories. White walls, narrow streets and small squares, each of them with your own ambience of intimacy that calls to the rest and the conversation with the nearby smell of the sea.

    The cultures miscellany is evident to every step, finding in the way churches, mosques, synagogs and even a Hindu temple, still living all of them and with its own religious community.

    The archaeology of Ceuta continues the same line of miscellany and diversity, understandable bearing in mind his privileged strategic position. Medieval houses, Arab baths and basilicas tardorromanas are more than strokes of his importance along the history.

    somontano
    The Somontano, in Huesca, is different of the areas in which you can enjoy all this. The area of the Somontano goes producing wine for a lot of time, although in fact it was not until the XIXth century when they began exploiting really all the possibilities of the same one.

    Lalanne is one of the first wine vaults that was established in the area and that he is worth visiting. It is in Barbastro, and is here from 1884, and it is already the sixth generation who devotes herself to the wine. A room with casks, the stays in which you can see to rest you reserve them, two barrels that they speak about his history, since there are the only ones that survived the civil war … there are some of the things that you will be able to find in this wine vault.

    Enough close to here pudes to find Vineyards of the Vero, which there is the biggest the region (not in vain it has 1100 hectares of vineyards) and one of the most well-known (anyone that has proved the wine of Vineyards of the Vero will understand why)

    In Enate, it is possible to do a visit to the facilities, in which all the corners speak to us about art, in fact, it is worth doing a visit to the exhibition hall, in which you can find more than 180 works of the most important autorres, between which they are, for example, Block or Chillida.


    Laus is another wine vault of beginning of century, which is something more than a traditional wine vault, as they demonstrate his future plans: a hotel and unn wine spa.

    But the true thing is that these wine vaults are alone some of the points most emphasized from this interesting route, in which you have much more for knowing.

And the fact is that in this region they live concerning approximately 20000 native ones, with origin in different tribes and linguistic groups.

    1334584888_2a571f4dac


    It is clear that it is not one of the most visited tourist destinations, but also it is true that it has great that to offer to the visitors. Of course, the tourism does not happen over the conservation of the environment, and the traditional ways of life must be respected the same way.

    One of the best forms of coming even the area is flying from Darwin or Jaribu to come to the mount Borradille, about which we will be able to find some declarations more than interesting on the rock artistic declarations of the aboriginals.

Along with this mount there is also Cooper Creek, where you will be able to see crocodiles.

    He is worth approaching to visit the National park of Garig Gunak, and approaching up to the waters of the sea of Arafura (perfect to practise diving).

    He enjoys the wine in La Rioja

    La Rioja has much that to offer: impressive sceneries, art, history, culture … But a very interesting way of traveling is to do it simultaneously that we enjoy the local gastronomic offer that we visit. And if we travel to La Rioja, something that we cannot allow appreciating is the wine of this area.


    How to come to La Rioja?

    In car, taking the Ap-68, we can cross the whole La Rioja from Haro up to Alfaro. Also, Renfe connects different populations of La Rioja with different points of the country. On the other hand, Air Nostrum has flights that tune in in airport of Logronio to Madrid or Barcelona.

    What to eat?

    Since we are speaking about a gastronomic escape, he is worth mentioning what we can eat here. Thistle, borage, potatoes and other vegetables open the meals. But later, the main courses, potatoes come to the riojana, tripe, sweetbreads, cod … The truth is that all the plates are really delightful. Milk toasts and fardelejos are some of the most delightful desserts.

    Of course, always watered with a good wine, which is one of the signs of identity of this ground.

    What to see?

    It is clear that there are many points of artistic and cultural interest in La Rioja, but also it has related them to the world of the wine. One of them is, for example, the Museum of the Culture of the Wine Dynasty Vivanco, in which you can enjoy an impressive ethnographic collection, artistic works related to the world of the wine, and even a collection of the most curious: of 3000 corkscrews.

    A very interesting activity is the flight in air balloon on the vineyards of Haro, which lasts concerning one hour, in that also it is possible to enjoy a lunch, wine-cellar riojano and a diploma in which the air baptism is certified.

    Certainly, that is worth doing a stop in the Spa of Arnedillo, a complex in which there is two hotels and a spa with Roman spa, a waves swimming pool … Undoubtedly, a visit that the sorrow deserves very much.
