Hm … let’s start with Bilbao: it is the most modern, civilized and futuristic city of all the cities in Spain that I have seen so far. I came here for the Guggenheim. I caught super-exhibitions: “Richard Serra: The Matter of Time”, “Didaktika” or “Cai Gu ...
One day in Madrid
The pedestrianized area of Madrid is very large. About the center of Bucharest. Just pedestrianized. The tube network is close to London Tube in size and complexity. If you arrive here, you must taste the typical Spanish ham. They also have a dedicated m ...
Algarve Dolphins
Yes I know. You can tell that you can see dolphins at the dolphinarium. You don’t have to go 3900 km. away from Romania. But you can’t compare a dolphinarium to an ocean. There are two totally different things. You get on a speedboat and start looking ...
16 hours by train
I’m in Santa Lucia train station in Seville. All around, a bustle of travelers, police and officials. From time to time there is a group of tourists, who find it difficult to make their way through the crowd. To get to Lisbon, I have to chan ...

Seville: the maze city
The center of Seville is like a maze. Once you get into it it’s pretty hard to get out. For more than half an hour I circled endlessly, passed a church 3 times and still didn’t get where I wanted. We don’t have security lockers at the hostel. Tonight ...
About Hostels
I don’t know how well known the concept of “Hostel” is in Romania, but in more civilized countries it is very popular. What is a hostel? It is a kind of hotel where you can find 2 types of rooms: shared and private. The shared ones have up to 18 bun ...
One city ticked , dozens waiting
Today was the last day visiting the pride of Catalonia: Barcelona. Tomorrow I’m leaving for Valencia with a short stop in Tarragona (10x Viorel for the tip). What can I say … the city is very nice. It climbed to 2nd place in the perso ...
