Sintra

April 9, 2014 // 2 Comments

Ok, here’s the thing about Sintra : I found out about this wonderful place looking at my Spanish host mum’s pictures (thanks again Marta). I saw the beautiful colours of the buildings and thought ” I MUST GO THERE”. I was very excited about It but….apparently I wasn’t supposed to see the bright colours 🙁 infact I visited Sintra on a very FOGGY DAY! (I was so mad!!!). Not only It was foggy but It was also raining! Allora, ecco la storia su Sintra: non sapevo dell’esistenza di questo meraviglioso posto finchè non ho visto le foto della mia host mamma spagnola (GRAZIE Marta) , appena ho messo gli occhi sui colori brillanti dei palazzi ho pensato “DEVO ANDARCI”. Bè… a quanto pare non […]

LISBON

March 20, 2014 // 0 Comments

I love Portugal, It is one of my favourite countries so far . I like It because everything is very small : no big cities, no big parks, all the places are super cute and people are very friendly . Plus the food is very good. I’ ve always wanted to hire a car and travel across the whole country , I haven’ t done It yet but I got the chance to visit Porto, Sintra and Lisboa and I absolutely loved them! Amo il Portogallo, è uno dei miei paesi preferiti fino ad ora . Mi piace perchè è piccolo, le città non sono immense, i quartieri non sono enormi e l’ atmosfera è accogliente, inoltre le persone sono davvero simpatiche. Dettaglio importante: il cibo è buonissimo […]

Cudillero

March 6, 2014 // 0 Comments

At the end of my journey in Galicia, my host family asked me to make a chart of the places They made me visit… It turned out I really liked Cudillero .Carlos, my host dad, didn’t agree with that at all. He couldn’t understand how I could put Cudillero in one of the first positions. The thing is that I DO LOVE SMALL TOWNS, It might be because I grew up in a very tiny village where there’s nothing but banks and restaurants (no, I am not kidding, Carasco has 3 banks and 6 restaurants, and that’s all We have). I am not saying that I would live in small town but if I’m traveling I’d rather see a cute tiny and distinguishing village instead of […]

Amazing Playa de las Catedrales – Meravigliosa Playa de las Catedrales

March 1, 2014 // 0 Comments

La ” Playa de las Catedrales ” which would be” Beach of the Cathedrals ” is one of the best beaches I have ever seen . It’ s called that because of Its natural archs and caves which can only be seen at low tide . European people usually think that places like this can only be found in Australia or South America but the truth is that We do have wonderful landscapes. I am so glad my Spanish host family made me realize how beautiful Europe is (THANKS Marta & Carlos). La ” Playa de las Catedrales ” , cioè ” Spiaggia delle Cattedrali ” , è una delle più belle spiagge che abbia mai visto. Il suo nome deriva dagli archi naturali creati dalle […]

SANTIAGO DE COMPOSTELA

February 13, 2014 // 0 Comments

When I found out my host family was from Santiago De Compostela, I was so excited! I have always thought It is a very charming city, not only because of Its history but also because of the famous walk of Santiago which ends at the mighty Cathedral. Quando ho scoperto che la famiglia per cui lavoravo era di Santiago De Compostela , mi sono sentita fortunatissima! Ho sempre pensato che Santiago fosse una città affascinante, per la sua storia e per il famoso cammino di Santiago, che ha come tappa finale la cattedrale della città. Proprio qui, la tradizione cristiana, dice che siano conservate le spoglie di Giacomo il Maggiore, apostolo di Gesù. La città si sviluppa in diversi edifici che richiamano i colori dorati e in strade […]

Venice is like eating an entire box of chocolate liqueurs in one go – Venezia è come mangiare un’intera scatola di cioccolatini al liquore in una sola volta

February 12, 2014 // 0 Comments

” Venice is like eating an entire box of chocolate liqueurs in one go. “ (Truman Capota) Venice is the city where You literally can dream with Your eyes opened . As Thomas Mann says ” It’ s half fairy tale and half tourist trap “, It gets to Your heart and It stays forever . Venice is art, art made by men and by nature ; Its sky shows the best sunsets I have ever seen so far . You can do nothing but stare at such a beautiful city. “Venezia è come mangiare un’intera scatola di cioccolatini al liquore in una sola volta.”(Truman Capota) Venezia come ho già scritto è la città dove si può sognare ancora, metà fiaba e metà trappola come dice Thomas […]
