Holidays In Cartagena
Visiting SpainSpain is
absolutely outstanding; it is that type of country that attracts
millions and millions of visitors every year without any efforts, as its
spectacular beauty is the best advantage a country can have. Visiting
Spain is described by the ones who have already done it as a lifetime
and life changing experience, as something that will offer you wonderful
locations costa brava
and the possibilities to try the fragrances and the perfumes of a very
special nation! You have to try a holiday in Spain! I assure you that
you will never regret your choice. The beautiful CartagenaCartagena
is one of the most popular destinations in Spain, Murcia’s second
largest city and one of the most important and active ports in the
country. The history of the city is a very old, interesting and rich
one; founded by the Carthaginians no sooner than the 3rd century BC, as
even the name indicates it, Cartagena was conquered by the Romans during
the famous Punic War. The Romans helped the city reach its peak,
transforming it into a very flourishing one because of two reasons: the
nearby silver mine that started to be exploited and the Garum fish sauce
that was much appreciated in the entire Roman Empire. Unfortunately,
the Vandals destroyed Cartagena in the 5th century, but tourists can
still visit some remarkable ruins, such as the Roman Theatre, dating
back to the 1st century BC. Places to visitThere
are many more places to visit in Cartagena besides the Roman Theatre. A
fine example is the Nuestra Senora Asuncion Cathedral, built in the
13th century; today, only its ruins survive, as the Cathedral was almost
entirely destroyed during the Civil War. Castillo Conception is the
beautiful fortress you’ll find right above the port, built in the 13th
century in such a way as to incorporate the ruins of the outstanding
Roman Amphitheatre. The Santo Domingo Church and the Iglesia Del Carmen,
displaying original Neoclassical and Baroque architectural styles are
also worth visiting. The 19th century Iglesia de Caridad deserves
your attention thanks to the spectacular Baroque paintings hosted
behind its walls. Last but not least, visit the City Hall, the Aguirre
Palace and the Casino, which are fine examples of modernist
architecture. As you can see, Cartagena is a place full of history and
with numerous monuments that deserve your attention, so consider it as
destination for one of your future holidays! About the authorClub Villamar offers many holiday villas dispersed all over locations costa brava and whether on the location espagne denia.

All About the Canary Islands
A happy group of islandsThe
Canary Islands represent one of the most popular and famous tourist
destinations in Spain, attracting millions of visitors every year. Their
climate is a spectacular one; the landscapes seem like being taken from
another world, while the inhabitants are welcoming and always in a good
mood. These are definitely the ingredients for a perfect holiday in location villa piscine espagne,
especially if you add to them the ample beaches covered with fine sands
and the shallow waters of an unbelievable blue. Tourists describe the
islands as being a paradisiacal group, so why not consider them as
destination for a future holiday? It can be the memorable holiday you
always dreamt of. The islands and their attractionsThe
wonderful climate the islands enjoy, with mild temperatures all year
long and hundreds of days of sunshine made them a preferred destination
for tourist from all the corners of the world. You can choose either one
of the large islands (Fuerteventura, Lanzarote, Gran Canaria, La Palma,
La Gomera, Tenerife, and El Hierro) or one of the small islands (Lobos,
Alegranza, Roque del Oeste). Either way, the beaches that patiently
wait for tourists to get a nice tan have all fine sands; what is very
interesting about the islands is that each and every single one of them
has a very strong individual personality, as the landscape is radically
different to all the other ones. It is in fact one of the main
attraction factors and one of the main advantages of the islands. The climate as an attractionVisitors
say that the Islands enjoy an eternal spring. They are located very
close to the hot African coast and just 4 degrees from the Cancer
tropic, so their climate is mostly subtropical. However, if you decide
to visit Tenerife, Gran Canaria or La Palma, be prepared for tropical
rainfalls! If you choose instead Lanzarote or Fuerteventura, there are
no risks, as their climate is very dry. Enjoying the cuisineIn
the Canaries, you have the chance to taste the unusual combinations of
Spanish cuisine, Latin-American and African influences. One of the most
famous recipes is the Papas Arrugadas; these are potatoes that
inhabitants boil in salted water. They are served with the hot Mojo
picon, a sauce containing parika, chili peppers, garlic and oil. I
assure you that the islands are the perfect place for an unforgettable
holiday, so take them into consideration for the future! They really
deserve your attention! About the authorClub Villamar offers many holiday villas dispersed all over location villa piscine espagne and whether on the location moraira.

A Spectacular Girona
The Spanish experienceIt
is said that you have to live at least once in your lifetime the
outstanding Spanish experience; well, whoever says it has probably
fallen in love with the country. In fact, it is almost impossible not to
fall in love with it after you visit it once, as its beauties seem like
being taken from another galaxy. It is unreal the feeling you get when
you see all those Alcazabas (the Moorish mosques), the Arab palaces, the
modernist architecture, the Roman remains and the breathtaking
landscapes. You will adore it! Choosing the Spanish destinationSpain has hundreds and hundreds of places to visit location vacances espagne
and each with its individual identity, with its unique attractions and
its own welcoming people. If you are in trouble with choosing the right
destination for you, I can help you by recommending Girona. Girona is
the capital city of the beautiful Costa Brava and a popular destination
thanks to its location: just 100 kilometers away from the famous
Barcelona and around 60 kilometers away from France. Girona is a
city that will attract you with its past, especially if you are a
history lover, as its heritage is a very rich one. The historic center
of the city is extremely well preserved and its old walls, built by the
Romans (who also founded the city) are well conserved, so worth
visiting. If you love sightseeing, don’t miss the Santa Maria Cathedral;
its construction started in the 11th century and ended only in the 18th
century, which led to the interesting combination of architectural
elements: Romanesque, Baroque, Renaissance and Gothic, these are the
periods displayed by the walls of the Cathedral. The Justice
Palace, also known as Casa Pastors and the Pia Almoina, a building built
in the 14th century in a Gothic style are two other monuments that you
are not allowed to miss. The former Jewish Quarter, with its narrow,
medieval alleys patiently waits to be discovered and explored, so
allocate a couple of hours from your free time to it! The Moorish Bathes
represent another important attraction for tourists; built in 1194, the
bathes were used by the inhabitants of Girona until the 15th century.
If you visit Girona with your lover, one of the four bridges that link
the two parts of the city represent perfect locations for romantic
walks, so offer them some of your attention! Enjoy Girona!
