Great Madrid

Wednesday, April 7th, 2010

Day two of my holiday break in Madrid was excellent. It was nice and sunny and the city is definitely breathtaking. After I have been there I can say that I am not sorry at all that instead of Barcelona, I spend this time in this city. I think that Spain is now on the top of my beloved destinations and Madrid is only the beginning of my journey in Spain, I am already eager to visit the rest of this lovely country and to try more and more of this spectacular food, may be it was one of the best things in Spain. For me it was just extraordinary.
On the next day of my tour, I planned to look at the main places of interest. Early in the morning, I left my Madrid apartments and went to the closest central squares I had searched of. To start with, I were at the renowned Plaza Mayor. It was very spectacular and the weather was so pleasant, that I couldn’t resist, but to relax in the one of the open air cafeterias and have breakfasttill the city wake up..The next point in my plan was Puerta Del Sol. There I made some images of the token of Madrid the bear and the tree. This took me a liitle while, because not surprisingly I wasn’t the only one with that intention. I knew that in Puerta Del Sol I had to look for the area wherefrom all the roads in Spain start up. Actually, I expected to be more remarkable. Later, I went to the Plaza Espana and also took pictures of the remarkable statues of Cervantes and Don Quixote. I had a nice day, exploring these places, so I returned to my accommodation in Madrid very happy and tired, of course.

More Travel Information on Berlin

Thursday, April 1st, 2010

Here I am with the next posting about my Berlin trip. As I said in my previous article I I had a whole week on my disposal in Berlin, so I was trying to uncover the town in portions. What I had in mind was to see the major monuments, of course, but I didn’t want to be just a tourist, but to feel the real spirit, to come in contact with a lot of the locals and learn how they live, what they usually enjoy to do and have fun, you know, I wanted to get more practical details, not the same things and boring facts about the history, the wall and the story that we all know.

So, I needed to view so many things that I practically had no time to sleep and went to my Apartments in Berlin just to take a shower and a nap to be fresh and relaxed for the next lively and exciting day. When I go somewhere I like the dynamics and want to try as much as possible for the time I have in the specific location. And the German capital without a doubt offered me the opportunity for one dynamic and, at the same time, really pleasant holiday break, not the usual holiday, because when I came back home I was more tired, but really full of positive emotions.This city is multicultural, here you can get together with people from every part of the world, there are so many young people who learn or work or just living their life and that’s why this city is so tempting and exciting. There is always something really interesting going on, whether it would be a concert, an exhibition, a great restaurant or bar, opera etc. Thank god I hired a really decent Apartment Rental Berlin, because otherwise it would have been so unpleasant to spend a lot of money for an apartment that I rarely used.

You can think about how sad I was when I had to depart. I had so much fun there, I was non-stop somewhere, I’ve met so many nice people, I danced all night on the best party I have ever been in my life and now I can confess that Berlin is one of my favorite destinations for a holiday, certainly if you are going because of the parties. Furthermore, I saw the chief sites, like the preserved part of the wall, the Checkpoint Charlie, some of the museums and galleries. The parties and having fun were not the only things I was doing there I even made a meals one evening for my friends in my Berlin apartment. The fact that there was a kitchen really made things easier for me, because I wanted to cook something particular for the people who were so great to guide me around the city and reveal me sites that I couldn’t see if I was by myself. In this regard I have to tell that am absolutely contented of my pick of Vacation accommodation in Berlin, because it was really ideal for me to move around, it was really close to the main attractions and the place was very decent, clean and excellent for me.
As a conclusion, I can only wish you to experience such relaxing and full of emotions and experiences holiday as the one I had. I am sure that it won’t be my last trip to Germany and definitely to Berlin, I just loved this city with all its qualities, strange and funny people, the great history and culture. Stay tune for my next journeys in some other exciting country.
