The Palace of Kensington in London, living history of England

2010-03-20T11:10:00.001-07:00

It is true that it is necessary to try to have time to visit London. There are so many things for seeing … Nevertheless, today we stop in the famous Palace of Kensington, a very remembered place, especially if we approach the history of sadly missing person Lady I Gave.

The Palace of Kensington is located in Chelsea, along with Bayswater Road, in the door of entry of the famous Notting Hill.

The history of this palace begins at the end of the XVIIth century, when king Guillermo III and the queen Maria II want to escape of the cold that reigns in the Palace of Whitehall, placed along with the Thames. They decide to buy Nottingham House in Kensington Village, which for the epoch was withdrawn enough from London.

They decorate it and turn it into an authentic palace. Nevertheless, it would be king Jorge I who really dedicates his time to the Palace of Kensington, dedicating his efforts to him and extending it, hiring big artists of the epoch to decorate his walls.

Really he had left so well that, to his death, Jorge II, his successor, turned the Palace of Kensington into his principal residence, settling there with his wife, the queen Carolina. Nevertheless, with the premature death of Carolina, king Jorge could not see in him any more than the memories of his wife, and he neglected the palace.

The palace did not recover his heyday again up to the arrival of the queen Victoria, who precisely was born in Kensington. Today even it is possible to visit the room where he was born and the room where it was baptized. Also, in your trip you will know the place where Victory slept like princess and got up like queen, since the dawn of June 20, 1837, his uncle was dying, and llea he was inheriting the crown of England.

It was the moment in which the queen Victoria left Kensington to go to live to the Buckingham Palace. Nevertheless, he never forgot the place where he was born, and the day of his 80 birthdays, the queen Victoria wanted to open to the public the palace.

In the last decades, who gave him fame again to the Palace of Kensington was Lady Di, the princess Diana Welsh, who lived there during the marriage with Prince Carlos, and just before his death. His children, Guillermo and Enrique, also were living with her in Kensington.

It is sure that you still will remember the thousands of branches of flowers that, days after the death of Diana, the Englishmen and persons come from all the corners of the world, they deposited in the doors of the Palace of Kensington, in memory of Diana. Precisely, from Kensington it divided the funeral procession of the princess up to the religious office in the Abbey of Westminster.

Nowadays, in the Palace of Kensington there live three cousins of the queen Elizabeth II, and the persons who work so much for the queen as for Prince Carlos have apartments in Kensington. There can be done visits guided to the palace, which last one hour and a half, or simply walk along his gardens. Nevertheless, do visit this living history of England.

We were in Prague and it turned out to be curious to us to begin seeing a series of Vietnamese walking along the city. Suddenly, we double a corner and meet Sapa, or what is the same, a kidling Hanoi in full heart of the Czech capital.

Sapa is a Vietnamese flea market to the south of Prague. Most of the articles that we will see here come from China. The best thing of everything is that they are very cheap, authentic bargains that, if you haggle good, can turn into the best memory of your trip.

Anyone would say that we are in full Prague …

You will feel as if inside Prague hubiérais traveled round a few moments up to Vietnam.

Alsace, a region with delight in France

2010-03-15T18:59:00.001-07:00

How many beauty is there in the French region of the Alsace. In a small space there are distributed several Patrimonies of the Humanity of the UNESCO. Small cities, scarcely known, which are places with delight that you should know.

One of these cities perhaps you sounds enough. It is a question of Strasbourg, in the heart of the Alsace. We covered it on foot and it is a delight. The historical center is a Patrimony of the Humanity, with his navigable, very picturesque channels, his bridges and his houses always full of flowers. We take a few wonderful pictures of the tanners' houses of Petite France, as well as those of the square of the cathedral.

The Cathedral of Strasbourg is undoubtedly between the best of the whole France. It is of Gothic style, and at first sight, his front impresses, with his beautiful sculptures and his astronomical clock. If you enter his interior, not to forget to visit the museum, with very good sculptures and the treasure of the cathedral.

In another shore of the river is the Castle give Rohan, which was in his moment a bishops' house, and today it lodges several museums. In Strasbourg also you can visit, in the modern part, the European Parliament.

Nevertheless, for my taste the nicest city of Alsace is to Fulfill. You will be captivated by his quarter known as the Small Venice. The best thing is to cover it in boat, discovering his wooden houses, hearth in his moment of fishermen and farmers and the weeping willows in the shore.

In Fulfilling also you can see the Museum Unterlinden, the Museum Bartholdi, or the Church of the Dominicans, which lodges important works of art, like the picture of the Virgin in the Square of the Roses, of the XVth century.

To the south of Fulfilling there is the city of Mulhouse, industrial town but that nevertheless keeps an exceptional culture. Here you must visit the Museum of Fine arts and History, as well as the City of the Train, an exhibition dedicated to the history of the railroad in France. Also to approach Electropolis, the Museum of the Motorcar. The best of all of them perhaps is the Museum of the Role, the biggest of the world in his style.

Alsace is a very picturesque region, with very much delight. Villages and almost medieval cities, surrounded with mountains, with narrow and cobbled streets and houses with enormous wooden rows of balconies and many flowers. The visual coloring is fascinating.

Jaipur: the pink city of the India

2010-03-13T06:30:00.001-08:00

It is difficult to translate in words the marvels that the memory keeps on bringing me from my trip to the India. Channels and creeks dressed in flowers of lotus, a fresh breeze always in the turban of the face, and in the most sweet horizon the pink city of Jaipur …

Jaipur was founded in 1727 by Maharaha Sawai Jai Singh, a modern city in which, apart from his architectural beauty, you have of everything: shopping centers, multiscreen cinemas, discotheques and the most animated night life.

What must not you get lost of Jaipur?. First of all, the Palace of the City, placed in his historical center. It is decorated by elegant paintings, mirrors and floral adornments. In his interior you will not get bored by no means, with his museums, his art galleries, the real rooms, and even a restaurant.

Of the palace it is necessary to direct to Hawa Mahal or Palace of the Winds, constructed in 1799. It is just next to the previous palace, and offers a beautiful panoramic sight of the old man Jaipur. He keeps affectionate histories, since it was constructed in order to that the real checkers, which scarcely could go out to the street, could see the bazaar and other monuments from his windows.

The photos that I keep with more fondness are those of the Palace Jal Mahal placed in the middle of the Lake Man Sagar. There look like two palaces in one, since the reflex in the water of the structure is fascinating. It was constructed in the XVIIIth century, and I recommend to you to visit it or to the evening or at the dawn.

The most ancient Jaipur building is the Fortaleza Amber, constructed in 1592 in marble and red stone. The interior is impressive, a set with wonderful paintings, where it is possible to see the Jaipur history. In the same fortitude you can reserve a trip in elephant to cover Jaipur. An incredible experience.

To visit Jaipur is to approach the beauty, the culture and the most deeply rooted traditions of the region of Rajasthán. You can wander about the streets for his bazaar, and be put where they sell all kinds of craft, like miniatures, paintings in marble, jewelry shop and works in metal or in stone.
If you want to do an excursion from Jaipur you can approach the neighbor Parque Nacional de Ranthambore, famous person for his tigers, and the National park of Sariska, where beautiful birds can be seen.

Jaipur is the most beautiful place, where there is mixed the ancient thing, the traditional thing and the modern thing. You will enjoy an adventure without limits.

The Beach of Railay in Thailand

2010-03-12T22:43:00.001-08:00

One of the nicest beaches of Thailand, if it is that we can emphasize some of the others, is the Beach of Railay, which also knows her as Rai Leh, a beautiful spa on the beach of Andaman, in Krabi.

And perhaps there is the most beautiful not for the color neither turquoise of his waters nor the gilding of his sand, but perhaps for his impressive limestone cliffs. Of course, this provokes that the access to the beach is a little difficult, but that makes it more exciting.

To the being a peninsula surrounded with mountains, it is possible only to come to her across a trip in ship. There are regular services that go out from Ao Nang, Krabi, Koh Lanta, Koh Phi Phi, and especially from Phuket.

We want to recommend to you the Beach of Railay fundamentally for two reasons, each of them well different. On the one hand it is a paradise for those who look for the retirement and the relaxation, since there are no many tourists in her. And for other, for the most adventurous, it is ideal to practise the climb in an incredible stage.

His isolated nature has attracting in the last years newlyweds' numerous couples who enjoy a paradisiac honeymoon. As contrast, also you will see many backpackers ready to be done by the top of the cliffs. Do not worry because in the Beach of Railay there are accommodations for all the tastes and trips.

Rayavadee Premier Resort, in the Beach of Phra Nang, is perhaps the best accommodation of the area. It is a question of a hotel in an almost solitary beach, therefore it turns out to be ideal for those who look for a romantic escape. Of course, it is a little expensive.

Slightly cheaper you it have in the area west of the beach, especially in the flat neighbor of Ton Sai, placed scarcely to ten minutes.

To eat there is a very good variety of bars and restaurants. Most of them serve local kitchen, which, to tell truth, is delightful and very cheap. There approaches the area west of the beach, where the best restaurants are, some of them on foot of beach.

We have not said it to you earlier, but we advise it to you now. The cliffs of limestone of the Beach of Railay are not very propitious for those that have ever climbed. For those that you do not have a lot of experience, the best thing is to raise you to the top and to contemplate the wonderful conference.

Finally, the Beach of Railay also is a marvelous place for the lovers of the diving. The marine life and his coral reefs perhaps are neither so attractive nor so diverse as that of other beaches of Thailand, nevertheless you have to prove it, because it is a marvel.

Night New Orleans

2010-03-11T21:28:00.001-08:00

It is very possible at that if we look for a crazy night, or several, almost nobody would look for the United States of America, we have this vision of boring country, Fast Food, and big cities. New has Orleans everything, but on sale the eroticism and the madness.

Bourbon Street

In no city of USA we will be able to do what is allowed here, the capital of the Mississippi, it has turned into the erotic, night and sinful center, it is like a gigantic Disney World, as the Americans do, but of music, drinks, contests, sex, dances, a carnival continued.

It is much that to see during the day in Loussiana and his capital, can name some of the essential ones and more acquaintances, like the big cotton household chores, who today are visited and preserved intact with his servants dressed in epoch, the same one of WHAT THE WIND TOOK. We can speak about the different trips for one of the biggest rivers of the world, but more, joined with the Missouri. We might see his animal Icon, only one the Aligátor, a very nice crocodile that can start an arm to you without feeling. Of his stadiums and buildings, and of his history, his tramcars, sports, meals and customs.

But today we are going to center on the area most sinful and entertaining French Quarter. The French quarter shines if the same, in fact it is to what we go to the pother and the entire disorder, The Sodom and Gomorrah of America. New Orleáns was Spanish, there is a big colony direct descendant from canaries, there happened to be French, again Spaniard, a family of Bourbon they settled there, hence there comes to him all the French and Spanish flavor and the name of his wonderful streets.

Bourbon Street is the principal artery of this part of the city in which you feel in another century. During the day, after sleeping well, so the night it is muuy long, it is possible to see apart from monuments and other tourist places: The Cathedral, the famous cemeteries, the whole possibilities fan, between them excellent musicians everywhere, very peculiar and creative. But we go to the night!

Girls' house, the shades go away in the windows to back light from the street

If it is known like the capital of the Jazz, with his first figure Louis Amstrong, who appears in all sets off, but the night it has more. The streets are small. With houses all colonial ancient ones, with big balconies always full of girls. The police are always present, but it allows everything, even something that is unthinkable in USA, to drink at any time and especially for the street, the whole world takes his big one I base of strong drinks, combined, coktails or beers. This is already a big difference, in Europe it is not also possible to go for the street drinking to everything to give. All the shops remain opened, the bars of course and the centers of Jazz, spectacular all, with the best bands, of all kinds of Blues, Jazz, Rock, everything is inside this sinful city. You will see lines of the people waiting to enter the Striptiss places, all full houses the whole night, with all kinds of sexual spectacles. You can find several establishments that do sexual contests, for example that of WET T-SHIRTS, size or beauty of the breasts for voting. You will see many completely naked, but identical girls as if they had a suit or images on his skin. In fact the carnival is in February, Mardi Grass, but all the weekends and especially in summer that a stifling heat gets worse, the people throw themselves to the street and arm a perfect imitation of the carnival, without so many outfits, but with many peculiarities.

gays kissing in Bourbon Street

The people kiss in the street, sometimes without meeting, and they realize any thing that occurs to him. In the souvenirs shops they sell necklaces, there are much plastic bargain sales and a bit more luxurious. In fact there are little bolls, like pearls, of all the colors, there can be silver or gold, or of different colors, there are big necklaces. And why do they serve these necklaces?. Very simple so that the women teach the breasts. In New Orleáns there gets lost the whole decency and the taboos, the people do a ring to a woman of any age or precedence, and they sing to him and urge him that it shows his bosoms, until they obtain it, then the spectators as award throw a necklace to him. This woman is always in groups of friends, it is not an exhibitionism, but a sensual game. You can be in a balcony, they all are of bars, and from below someone he asks you to throw a necklace to him, there are the people who throws it for a simple kiss, or for making something sexy, also they can ask the same boy he to teach something then he undresses, one lowers the pants and teaches for what they ask him, there it is where there forms the big scandal that, on having heard it, more people bring to this ring, this ring keeps on applauding and cheering on the lower ones to those of above and the other way round. Put more in the night you can see for the street women without anything above with many necklaces, that means that his breasts have applauded him very much, bighead will go, and if you see a boy with many necklaces also has taught, then they return to the load and they will continue throwing bold night nudists. The night is long, the river of the people keeps on walking and stopping in the bars and in the rings on having heard the screams and applauses: You already know what it means!. As we were saying at first, it is much that to see in New Orleáns.

There he emphasizes the Duomo or the Cathedral, with Gothic interior and Romanesque front. Do contemplate the Asunción of the Virgin, of Tiziano. In the surroundings you will find the church of Santa Anastasia, Arche Scaligeri (funeral urns), the church of Santa Maria Antica …

Also there emphasizes the square dei Signori and the square delle Erbe constructed on a Roman forum. Certainly, that the Julieta house is the ideal place for the romantic ones. His walls full of messages of love drive up to the balcony and the statue of Julieta, to which it is necessary to touch a breast, according to the legend, to attract the love.

The Sand, the third amphitheater of the world is a colossal work of an impressive capacity. This and the palatial fortitude Castelvecchio, which was of the Scaligeri, are different of the visits that you cannot get lost.

2010-03-05T09:33:00.001-08:00

The coast almeriense has very nice places, with impressive sceneries, the only beaches, coves … it is a question of an area in which many of the peoples have survived throughout the years thanks to the fishing. And is it that thanks to the rich fauna who inhabits the waters almerienses, this coast can presume to offer one of the best kitchens of fish of the whole country.

It is clear that to enjoy the gastronomy of the area is one of the things that undoubtedly we must do in our trip. The area of Cabo de Gata is a good starting point. It is this natural space we will be able to enjoy places of impressive beauty, like the reef of the Sirens, and close, the Beaches of West and Trap-net of Montelva, with a church of the XIXth century.

It is a question of one of the first peoples in which we will discover the seaworthy spirit: in the morning the fishermen you go out to work and they return to noon with fish variety: groupers, red mullets … Undoubtedly, it is necessary to eat something to midday, any of the restaurants of the area will offer us an exquisite fish.

The beaches of the Levant of the Cabo de Gata (more virgins are The Genoeses and Mónsul presided by the Rock of the Ornamental comb, it is formed by mobile dunes), and peoples like San Jose, or the Islet of the Moor, who is undoubtedly one of the villages with one more character distinctly seaworthy, there are some of the points that we cannot allow visiting.

And again, a stop to enjoy the gastronomy of the area: grilled fish, in casserole, with rice, the red shrimp (typical of Pulley), a cuajadera or a broth quemao are some of the most typical plates of the area.

In spite of so much for discovering, it is no wonder that all those who have visited the area want to repeat.

He visits the Parthenon of Paris

2010-03-05T01:24:00.001-08:00

Perhaps do not be so a famous person as the Tower Eiffel or the Museum of the Louvre, but if you have thought to travel to Paris, you cannot be missing to your appointment with the Pantheon of Paris, a place where the culture, the history and the French architecture melt in the only one.

The history of the construction of the Pantheon is the less curious. Luis XV promised in 1744 to construct a building in homage Santa Genoveva, boss of Paris, if it was recovering of an illness. To the being like that, it arranged the construction of the Pantheon in 1758, but for economic problems it could not end until 1789.

About his origin it was thought that it was a church for the saint, but in the end it turned instead of eternal rest for some of the heroes of the French Revolution, like Voltaire and Rousseau, in addition to French celebrities like Víctor Hugo and the Curie.

The Pantheon is located in the Latin Quarter, and shows a neoclassic style, with big Corinthian columns in his front, as in the Pantheon of Rome. In the center there is a dome, which the Tempietto of Rome remembers to, with a 85 meters height. It was this dome the one that inspired Foucault to try to demonstrate his investigations on the movement of the ground, this implies that there is an enormous pendulum in the center of the Pantheon.

In a corner of the pendulum there is a badge in memory of Antoine de Saint Exupery, the author of The Principito, who disappeared in the Mediterranean in a recognition flight in 1944.

Nevertheless, one of the big reasons for which to visit the Pantheon is in his crypt. On having entered her, it is possible to read an inscription that he says in French “For the big men of the homeland”. And the fact is that here there rest big French illustrious men, like the philosophers Voltaire, Rousseau and Discardings, writers Víctor Hugo, Emile Zola and Alejandro Dumas, the inventor Louis Braille, the chemist Pasteur, as well as Soufflot, the architect of the Parthenon.

It is impossible therefore not to visit this sacred place for the French, in which, in addition to the architecture and the local beauty, he rests the flower and cream of the history of the thought and the French arts.

To visit it it is necessary to bear in mind that it opens every day from 10.00 until 18.00 hours. The entry costs 7 euros for the adults, 4,50 euros for the young people between 17 and 25 years, and free for the persons younger than 17 years. To come, the more nearby meter stop is that of Cardinal Lemoine.

The Cataracts of Iguazú and the Glacier of the Brown Expert

2010-02-24T03:14:00.001-08:00

Have you ever been in Argentina?. This South American country is an authentic natural marvel. Every year, the Brown Expert Glacier and the Cataracts of Iguazú attract million tourists, being two of the most visited places of South America. Although both attractions are at considerable distance, they must be essential of visiting if you travel to Argentina.

Perhaps you have heard speaking more of the Cataracts of Iguazú. They are located on the border with Brazil, to the North-East of Argentina. They lodge more than 275 water falls, and spread beyond two kilometers. They are higher than the Cataracts of the Niagara and there are considered to be a Patrimony of the Humanity by the UNESCO. You have the opportunity to do senderismo in the cataracts, in addition to walks in jeep or in ship up to the low part of the cataracts.

A visit also can take us to the cataracts the most nearby cities, like for example Foz do Iguaçu, on the border with Argentina, Paraguay and Brazil. Another city that he is worth while visiting is a Port Iguazú, or City of the East, close to Paraguay, an ideal place to go shopping.

Of the Cataracts of Iguazú we go away up to the south of Argentina, to know the Glacier of the Brown Expert. The Glaciers are located in the National park, and it is one of the big attractions of the Patagonia. It is provided with 250 square kilometers of surface, containing the biggest third reservation of fresh water of the world.

It goes over very easily to the glacier thanks to the fact that it is inside the national park. Anyhow, I recommend the whole world to visit the Brown Expert across a tourist guide. Especially for the fact that, to such a big being, it is almost impossible to be able to see in only one stop.

Like véis, the Cataracts of Iguazú and the Glacier of the Brown Expert are two of the most interesting attractions of visiting in Argentina and in the whole South America. Both places can be visited in the same trip, since there are flights that connect the cataracts with the glaciers. Anyhow, if you want to visit two places in the same trip the stay will have to be a little long.

Cultural visit to Buenos Aires

2010-02-23T19:32:00.001-08:00

Buenos Aires, a magnificent tourist destination: who might say the opposite?. The capital with delight, full of tango, of music of bandoneón and elegant quarters, a city that waits for you with the open arms, ready to offer you the best thing of better. Do you come to yourselves to Buenos Aires?

I particularly like the Buenos Aires literary, that one that it offers up to four routes, centring on writers like Julio Cortázar, Jorge Luis Borges, Roberto Arit, and the way of the letters, which takes us across a series of sights, introduced by poems or histories. The routes and the holding a permit visits begin every half an hour, and it is possible to go down and to rise of the bus to do our own visit.

I love also the Argentina of the tango, so intimate, so sensual and soft at the same time. Tens and tens of rooms of tango have proliferated in the last years in Buenos Aires. You cannot leave Buenos Aires without savouring a tango, hearing it at least, already dancing it it would be another thing. A good lesson would be to assist to one of these rooms of tango, like for example Tango Of Buenos Aires, Red Tango or The Window.

Buenos Aires is also the green city, with his Botanical garden, in the quarter of Palermo. This place offers a wonderful selection of oriental and French gardens. Nevertheless, the gardens and parks of Buenos Aires have turned lately into favorite hearth of the godforsaken cats. They are throughout.

In Argentina you have to approach the quarter of the Mouth, and there the Museum of Fine arts, constructed originally by one of the most famous painters and darlings of the Argentina, Benito Quinquela Martín. It was constructed in 1938, and since then it is one of the most beautiful museums of the country full of flourishing culture.

If you want, you can be useful to have a beautiful excursion from Buenos Aires. Approximately thirty kilometers to the north of the city is Town of Ocampo. Victoria Ocampo was one of the most influential literary figures in the Argentina of the XXth century. During this epoch, this farm was visited by artists and writers, from Borges to Virginia Woolfe. Today it is opened for the public for visits and special events. It is possible to come perfectly in bus from Buenos Aires.

Activities to enjoy in Grand Canary

2010-02-23T08:55:00.001-08:00

Grand Canary is almost almost a paradise and the best thing of everything is that we have it very close … So: why do not you cheer up to enjoy his beaches, his sceneries, his gastronomy? Grand Canary has an enormous quantity of things to offer the vistantes.

From the trips blog, we want to do to you a series of recommendations of all the things that you must not allow doing before leaving Grand Canary.

To start, the climate of Grand Canary is an authentic privilege, especially depending on the place of the year in which you visit it. In fact, there are great the tourists who do an escapadita in winter to the island, being useful as well as the prices are more limited. In fact, to sunbathe in one of his beaches is something that you must not leave. I recommend to you, for example, that of The Quarries, one of the nicest urban beaches of the country. And later, do take a little in the terracitas.
The Maspalomas oasis, to the south of the island, is really impressive. One of these unforgettable places, which spreads in the Vale of Thousand Palm trees towards the north, with fruit-bearing trees that share territory with a volcanic environment with which the contrast is beautiful.
But what you must not allow seeing either is the historical helmet. The best way of doing it is to walk along his streets and to enjoy all his corners. The House Museum of Columbus, for example, is a place that he is worth visiting, the Cathedral, the Literary Office or the House Museum of Pérez Galdós.
I do not know if you will know that the Virgin of the Pine is the boss of the islands, so a very advisable visit is the Church of the Virgin of the Pine in Teror, a place which many canaries approach. It is a question of a church of big artistic value, which dates of 1760.

The sceneries of Grand Canary are other of his points puertes, so also I recommend to you to contemplate the Peak of the sNieves, Roque Nublo and Roque. If you are lucky and the day is cleared, up to the possible one that you could discern the silhouette of the Teide.

And of course, it is necessary to add a recommendation to all this: do prove the local gastronomy, with his sauces of really peculiar flavors, the cheeses and the wine.

He visits the Red Square of Moscow

2010-02-23T00:46:00.001-08:00

It is sure that if they ask you for Moscow, one of your first answers would be the Red Square. Since yes, the Red Square of Moscow must always be between the first ones of our recommendations at the time of planning a visit to the Russian city. Do you want to know why?.

The Red Square was created at the end of the XVth century, under the reign of Iván II I, with the name of the Square of the Trinidad, since in her there was the Cathedral of the Trinidad, which was located in the place that today occupies the Cathedral of San Basilio. This ancient square was the place of meeting of the Muscovites, in addition to albergas the festivals, announcements of the government and public executions.

In 1918 the square turned into a communist cemetery and courtyard of weapon, to happen to receive in 1924 the Lenin's Mausoleum. One of the events most remembered in this square took place in 1945, when the Soviet army paraded to go to the war against the Germans in the Second World war. Nowadays the Red Square of Moscow receives after the year a big number of concerts.

In addition to the concerts, in her we can see the Cathedral of San Basilio, possibly one of the most photographed buildings of the world, with his domes spirals of attractive colors. This church was entrusted by Iván Terrible, to commemorate a military victory over the Mongols in 1522. Nine domes spirals correspond to nine chapels, and represent nine victories of the Russians on the Mongols in that war.

The legend counts that Iván Terrible extracted the eyes to the architect of the cathedral after constructing it, so that he could never construct anything more beautiful.

Other of the most beautiful buildings that we could find from the Red Square was the Cathedral of Kazán, destroyed by the Bolsheviks in the first decades of the XXth century. In his place they could turn coffees and shops, until in 1990 the Russian government was deciding to reconstruct it, so that we all could contemplate it today.

If you have thought to travel to Moscow, the Red Square is one of the essential visits to the city. Do approach her, so much in the daytime, as in the spectacular nature of the night. The truth that it will captivate you and will stun you.

The Meter of Moscow, underground work of art

2010-02-18T15:08:00.001-08:00

The legend counts that the circular line of the Meter of Moscow originated from a cup of coffee. During a meeting to plan the meter of the city, the engineers presented to Stalin a map of the radial lines of the meter. While they were explaining the system to him, Satalin was drinking little coffee in silence. When it ended, the Russian leader put his cup of coffee on the planes of the engineers, and got up of the table without saying anything …

When the engineers raised the cup of coffee, they discovered the Stalin magic. A circular ring of brown color was defining the line that was missing to complete the tube of Moscow. From this day, the circular line of Moscow is of brown color.

You create or not the curious history, it is an impossible today to imagine the meter of Moscow without this circular line about the center of the city. The line continues the Garden Ring, in the south of the city, continuing up to the north, tuning in to all the interesting places of Moscow and all his stations. Nevertheless, like the rest of the meter, the circular line is not a simple transport way, but the whole monument to the nobility and the Soviet power.

It offers the whole spectacle of art, which is based on the friendship between the peoples. To be able to read the mosaics it is necessary to do from the escalator that takes us to the station.

The following stop of the line is Krasnopresnenskaya, a station dedicated to the revolutionary events that took place in this part of Moscow. It is covered with marble red and lined with down reliefs of terracotta, which show the revolutions of 1905 and 1917.

Other one of the stops that you have to visit is Novoslobodskaya, one of the most impressive stops of the meter of Moscow, with a series of spectacular shop windows. The station ends in with a panel that represents a Soviet version of the Virgin and the Child.

Nationalistic details resemble the orthodox churches, and Pedro and Catalina la Grande. Golden panels show the big victories of the Russian state, like the Soviet victory in the Second World war.

Fukuoka: the most traditional city of Japan

2010-02-13T05:09:00.001-08:00

Today we visit Fukuoka, one of the most traditional cities of Japan. It is placed in the island of Kyushu, and his principal attractions are the statues of Buddha, the sanctums and the ancient ruins. A place where the traditional and modern Japan is melted in the only one.

In Fukuoka you will think from modern shopping centers, to small familiar craft shops, that one never goes so far as to explain himself how they could have survived economically during generations. A modern system of meter and trains bleats they will serve to us to move for the whole city.

Our first visit has like protagonist the Sanctum of Kushida, easily recognizable by the enormous red lanterns that decorate his door. It is to only ten minutes on foot of enormous Buddha Daibutsu, and is a place much venerated by the Japanese, who approach so far at least once a day to pray.

One of the best places to eat and to go shopping in Fukuoka is a Channel City, an enormous complex in which you will see hotels, movies, restaurants and shops. The fish and seafood of Fukuoka perhaps are the best of the whole Japan, since it is fresh air of the day, caught every day in the Sea of Genkai. The restaurants of this area are the best of the city, as well as those of Nakasu, the most animated area and to which you have to go if you want to live through the night Fukuoka life.

In the center of the city it has rather set ambulant of meal, like the quarter of Tenjim, where there make use spikes of grilled chicken, stews and soup of noodles.
We recommend to you, if you have occasion, to visit Fukuoka in spring, to approach big Buddha Daibutsu, of more than ten meters high, surrounded by the coloring of the cherry trees, the almond trees and the roses, an extremely charming visual spectacle. The curious of the case is that the flowers and the scenery can be photographed, but not the statue of Buddha. There are observers and police officers in the surroundings so that these norms are fulfilled.

Like véis, Fukuoka is a simple city in Japan, which combines the ancient traditions with the buildings and the modern structures. If you are in Japan, it is a visit more than advisable.

He visits the Golden Gate in San Francisco

2010-02-12T21:23:00.001-08:00

Every city of the United States can presume of an impressive architectural monument. If we speak about San Francisco: of which of them might it presume? Exactly, you it have said, of the famous person Golden Gate, symbol of the city and one of the big marvels of the world.

And the fact is that a tourist visit to the city of San Francisco would not be finished without the visit to this colossus on the waters of the bay. To appreciate his value, we should earlier know a little about his history. Constructed in the crazy American years 20, at the beginning of the Big Depression, this bridge constituted a symbol of perseverance and determination of the American people.

The bridge would end in 1937, and there became the longest bridge of steel of the world until, in 1964, the Verrazano-Narrows bridge was joining the city of New York with Staten Island and Brooklyn.

Who has ever exclaimed that this bridge is one of the big marvels of the world?. Possibly be the most famous bridge of the world, at least the most photographed: do not you believe?. Although Golden Gate can meet from any point of San Francisco, we are going to recommend to you the conference that are had from the Area of National Recreation of Golden Gate. For something more about 13 million persons a year they contemplate it from here.

This area, considered to be a National park, really is a set of parks that spread from the north of the county of San-Mateo up to the south of the county of Marin. Or what is the same, more than 75 kilometers across the coast. In summer, the people of San Francisco come so far to walk, to do senderismo, to mount in bicycle, to skate, and how not, to do to him you photograph Golden Gate, and even to paint it.

And if earlier we were speaking to you that we cannot go away of San Francisco without visiting the Golden Gate, we cannot go away precisely of his Area of National Recreation without moving up to the small island where the Gannet prison is. Although it has not lodged prisoners from 1963, since then visits guided by her can be done. Do you imagine to cover the same corridors for which it walked The Capone?.

I do not believe that Golden Gate and his surroundings make you feel indifferent in San Francisco. You will not repent.

The salt mine closes between November to April. You can take a funicular one to come and to visit, miners' garments, this corner. To penetrate into the tunnels and caverns of these mines of salt that were already working in the Neolithic one and the Age of the Bronze.

Since what we want it is to enjoy the Hallastatt scenery, we go out of the mines, and discover elegant and glamorous Capilla Bone de Hallstatt, who dates of the XIIth century. It is small, but it lodges in his interior more than 600 skulls of dead persons buried in the ancient cemetery of the church. This practice continued until 1960, when the catholic church began to allow the cremation. It turns out to be incredible to be in this room of the bones.

If you want to stay at a traditional place, that a salt mine became first and later a brewery from 1504 until 1917, remain to sleep in Braugasthof Hallstatt, which is in charge of the family Lobissier. If you stay here you will do a wonderful trip in the time, since the house is traditional, the typical picture of the small Austrian houses.

Like moving for Istanbul

2010-02-07T22:56:00.001-08:00

Istanbul has a complex system of public transport, which you have to know if you have thought to travel in your next holidays. Today we want to give you some advices to be able to move with facility for the whole city, trying that you save the possible maximum thing.

Precisely, for a long stay in Istanbul, we advise you to buy an Akbil, a card for most of transports of the city. You can buy your Akbil in Eminonu or in Square Taksim, close to the bus station. Especially because these two places are the principal axes of the center of Istanbul.

The buses system is the widest way of traveling round Istanbul. It is possible to travel with our Akbil, or buying a ticket, which is bandaged close to the bus station, while it is possible to buy the private buses inside the same one.

Other one of the options to move us for Istanbul is across the meter that it departs from the Square Taksim. The meter covers a limited part of the city, stopping in Osmanbey, Sisli, Gayrettepe, Levent and Levent 4. Another exit line is an Aksaray, which you have to take if your intention is to go up to the international buses station in Esenler.

There is a tramcar that circulates from Zeytinburnu, across Aksaray and the Old City, it crosses the golden Horn and continues towards the north, along the Bosphorus, up to Kabatas. Finally, the tramcar continues further away, up to Besiktas. You can be provided also with a funicular one, which it should salt in Kabatas and it goes up to the Square Taksim. Funicular other, the Tunnel, does a major route, from Karakoy, in the north side of the Bridge of Galata, up to the south end of Istiklal Cadessi, in Beyoglu.

The light train LTR is the cheapest way of coming from the International Airport of Ataturk up to the center of the city. The private bus Havas also is very useful to connect with the airport, but it is a little more expensive than the train. Nevertheless, it is more comfortable, and for in the Square Taksim. This bus is ideal for those that you are going to remain in the Beyoglu area, while that you are closer to Sultanahmet you must take the train.

We can give a tourist walk along Istanbul in any of his ferries. Most of them go out from the wharves of Eminonu, doing stops in Sirkeci, Besiktas, Karakoy and Kabatas. The tickets of the ferry can be bought to the exit. To take a ferry across the Bosphorus and to explore the Asian side of Istanbul.

When the public transport stops working, from the midnight and up to the 06.00 of the morning, it is suitable to use the taxis. Never risk walking alone along the streets of Istanbul. The taxis are abundant, and the best thing is to say to the driver the hotel at which you stay, and which takes you up to the door. To make sure you that the taxi has taximeter.

The Palace of Vaux de Vicomte in Paris

2010-02-07T15:06:00.001-08:00

In Paris, the whole reputation takes the Palace of Versailles. But: do you know that to construct this great complex they were inspired in another less well-known palace?. An elegant palace that is at least of one hour in train of Paris. It is a question of the Palace of Vaux de Vicomte, a masterpiece of the baroque, with a spectacular garden.

And the fact is that Paris is a glorious city, from which sometimes it is necessary to rest a little. Let's go out of her one day, and let's visit Him Vaux de Vicomte, one of the most beautiful places of the world. We can happen the morning discovering the castle and the gardens, have lunch in l'Ecureuil, the elegant local restaurant, and remain here the whole evening for a visit guided in view of the sails. It is possible to do all this, and to be to the return in Paris for the hour of having dinner.

In 1658, Nicolás Fouquet, minister of finance of Luis XIV, hired the architect Luis Levau and the painter and decorator Charles le Brun to create an incredible masterpiece, the Palace of Vaux de Vicomte. Andre le Notre was who designed the gardens.

Not a lot of time after Luis XIV finished this palace, on August 17, 1661, together with many other aristocrats known of the epoch, they were present at the opening of the same one. Fouquet and his wife improvised a holiday that it inspired in the real celebrations of hundred following years. There were games, spectacles, musicians, exotic meal and wine. And to finish the day, a fireworks spectacle.

Although Fouquet was known like an intelligent man, he forgot a very important element when he planned the holiday: the humility. Tremendously jealous of Fouquet and of his palace, king Luis XIV and his ministers decided that only the king, and nothing more that he, a residence as luxurious could allow itself as that. And so, Luis XIV invented a series of accusations on embezzlement of funds of Fouquet, who spent the rest of his life in the jail.
Nevertheless, we have left the Fouquet legacy in the shape of this impressive palace and his gardens, which have remained without changes since it was constructed. Instead of kings and queens, everybody can come to visit this marvel. I advise you it to do in summer, when visits guided in the nights are done, in view of the sails, and sometimes, classical music concerts take place.

The children love this palace, because he seems literally extracted of a fairy tale. On having entered the palace, you have even the possibility of dressing your son in the suits of the epoch, and of extracting a photo.

Additional information

The Palace of Him Vaux de Vicomte is in Maincy. From Paris it is possible to take a train in the Gare du Lyons, which in only thirty minutes, takes us straight to Melun. Also we can take the RER D from Chatelet up to Melun. From the Melun train station you can take a taxi or a bus up to the palace.

If you go in car, from Paris to the palace there are 55 kilometers.

The palace and the garden open from 27 on November 7, from 10.00 until 18.00 hours, although the last visit is realized at 17.45 hours. In summer, the visit guided with sails is at 23.00 hours. The areas are closed every Wednesday, except in July and August.

It is a question of a few species of Japanese traditional inns, which differ from other hotels of western style in many things. Really, there are few ryokan in the big Japanese cities, since there the hotels are usually westernized.

Most of these ryokan are in the most remote and scenic areas of Japan, although the city of Kioto, for example, is provided with many of these accommodations.

After coming to the ryokan, we will be got by the owners of the accommodation and his family, and the fact is that most of the ryokan are usually family enterprises.

He travels in the green train of Sardinia

2010-02-04T14:59:00.001-08:00

Does it long to you for a picturesque walk in train for the island of Sardinia? Today we mount ourselves in the small green train, Trenino Verde of Sardinia, which in fact are three trains in one. At the end of the decade of 1890 three tracks were constructed to drive to the trains of transports and goods from the mountainous interior of the island up to the ports of the coast.

One of the stretches has about nine kilometers along the north coast, between Nulvi and Palau, a people that stays opposite to the Capri, cradle of famous Giuseppe Garibaldi, national hero in Italy. The second stretch winds covering the fourth three parts of the center of Sardinia, between Bossa, on the coast west, and Nuoro. The third stretch forms a species of Y wick, which Cagliari connects, the capital of the island, with the people of mountain of Isili.

Before coming to Isili, the route splits into two, lightly to the Bequests North-East, to the north of Sorgono, while another ramification goes in zigzag to the east up to the coastal city of Arbatax.

The Green Train covers tunnels across mountains, bridges on rivers and vales, embracing the hills. The scenery is splashed of with small peoples that it seems that they make the color of the train more green. Nature reserves, forests, caves, structures of ancient stone, and nature reserves like that of Giara Cavallini, are only some of the reasons for which this train got the green designation.

Not far from Bequests you will see an important archaeological place. It is a question of your Nuraxi di Barumini. I dress from the air, the stone complex looks like a castle walled with towers and adjacent buildings. The structure known as Nuraghe, goes back at the Age of the Bronze, and his construction is typical of Sardinia. This complex is catalogued like Patrimony of the Humanity by the UNESCO.

In 1821, D.H. Lawrence and his wife mounted the route of the train of Cagliari to Bequests, and in Sordono. Lawrence wrote on his trips for sea and for Sardinia. Most of the passengers of that one then were the local farmers and the shepherds, who were going to buy to the Roman Pecorino market. They were traveling in seated steam trains and in wooden seats.

Nowadays these trains lodge the tourists who travel to Sardinia. From the middle of June to medium of September, the locomotive and his cars move us to a peace scenery in the Sardinia.

It knows the Merzouga dunes

2010-02-02T23:19:00.001-08:00

To know the desert is the sleep of many. A place in which one sees little more than sand, and that simultaneously attracts us and we scare with his nobility and with his immensity. I do not know if you imagine how it must be to walk along a dune, to sit down in her and to contemplate the scenery and, if it is possible, the dawn.

Undoubtedly, it is one of these absolutely unforgettable experiences. Well, if you believed that you might never do something like that you were mistaken. And the fact is that at present there are routes that will allow you to do an unforgettable trip.

Erg Chebbi is a field of dunes that has nothing more and neither more nor less than a 22 kilometers length, and along with him there is Merzouga, a small people that, for centuries, was the most important enclave, since it was a center of provisioning for all the trailers that were crossing the Sahara.

Nowadays, concerning these dunes there are organized holding a permit routes that turn out to be very interesting, since they allow to the travelers to know how the world is in the desert first hand, to learn how there is the life of the Berbers (a people associated for ages with the desert).

The truth is that the possibilities concerning these escapes are great: they are to see the sun going out from the dunes, to see to get dark (one of my darlings) or inlcuso there exists the possibility of mounting in camel for some hours or of sleeping in jaimas.

Along with the inhabitants of the desert, it is possible to drink a warm tea (yes, warm, to resist the heat) or to listen to the histories of the nomadic shepherds.

One of these trips is, undoubtedly, the only way of knowing another life style, other sceneries, finally, a different culture. Of course, with much of what to learn.

In plane

The Airport say that Firenze is the most nearby to Florence, and be scarcely to fifteen minutes of the historical center of the city. Nevertheless, it is a very small airport as for his size. Also it is true that it is not an airport in which there are many tails. Several are the companies that fly up to Florence, like Alitalia, Austrian, Brussels Airlines, Lufthansa and Air France. For scarcely five euros it is possible to take a bus shuttle that takes you from the airport up to Florence.

Although the Airport of Florence is the most nearby to the city, also there are other alternatives, like the Airport Galileo Galilei of Pisa.

Isla de Samos, Greece

2010-01-30T15:37:00.001-08:00

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.

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

2010-01-29T23:36:00.001-08:00

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.

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.

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.

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.

Casablanca, passion of the Mediterranean in Africa

2010-01-27T06:57:00.001-08:00

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.

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.

He is worth gaining access on foot to this fortitude, and visiting the archaeological museum that is below, in that one speaks about his history. A symbol of the resistance of the Cathar ones before the repression of the power of the king and of the catholic church.

And the fact is that the presence of the Cathar ones was very important in the area, since fleeing of the Inquisition, they sheltered in the vales of Ariège, leaving big quantity of castles and fortitude.

Ciudad Real and his natural spaces

2010-01-15T16:16:00.001-08:00

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
