I was thinking, in the last 2 years, the most important moments I lived behind the camera. From my travels around Europe and the country, last year’s New Year’s Eve in Paris, Bucharest’s White Night, Bucharest days, photo tours in Brasov, birthdays, Easter or Christmas celebrations, concerts, parties, my summer wedding, various events and conferences I attended and the simple meetings with friends. I looked at them all through the lens. B ...
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 change trains twice. I will have to wait no less than 4 hours at the train station in Caceres. It will certainly be a long and difficult journey, but I think it is worth it. Tomorrow I will enjoy&nbs ...
Today I visited a large part of the city. In the East side is the business area, where you can find everything from banks, telephone companies to malls and many bridges. On the other hand, in Balem is the relaxation area. Here you can sit quietly in a garden or park watching the children play or various groups of young people relaxing on the clean grass. The city is quite large and it is difficult to walk. I recommend a subscri ...
If you ever get to Seville, I recommend visiting the “Plaza de Toros” and the Cathedral. Plaza de Toros is the second largest bullfight in the world, after the one in Mexico. Here you can visit the arena, the museum with its bull’s heads, spears, costumes and various works specific to bullfighters. The career of a bullfighter starts somewhere at 14-15 years old and ends at 25-30. A ticket costs between 23 and 100 euros. The cathedral is huge. ...
Today I was going to leave Cordoba. But in the morning it rained a lot and I didn’t even find a hostel in Seville. So I paid for another night at the hostel in Cordoba. Shortly after lunch, a group of 2 girls from Mexico, an Italian, a Russian and a guy from Spain, shows up at the hostel. We exchanged two words and we thought it would be nice to discover the city together. We wandered around the city for a few hours, rested in a teahouse ...
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 I think I’ll sleep with my laptop under my pillow and my camera in my arms. We have Wi-Fi but I don’t know the password. I failed with the hostel this time. I stay 1 more day in Seville, after wh ...
After Barcelona, Tarragona and Valencia I planned to rest for 2 days in a smaller city. I chose Cordoba. The city is completely different from how I imagined it. I don’t know if the beginning of the weekend is to blame, but the streets were full of people, good mood and festive atmosphere. The city center is very complicated. It has many streets without signs. In the first half hour I tried to follow a route. But I reali ...
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 bunk beds and the private rooms have double or twin beds. Also at hostels you will find a lobby, where most of the time you have wi-fi internet access, sofas, billiards, games, etc. A very c ...
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 personal top of European capitals. London, however, is difficult to replace. What I noticed in these 5 days: there is a lot of madness on the Rambla! Here you can find from people wi ...
Today I used InterRail for the first time. It’s very simple to use: ask at InfoCenter the time and platform for the chosen destination, write in the Travel Report from the ticket the route, get on the train and that’s it. Spanish trains are of the same standard as all European trains: clean, comfortable and fast, you can listen to music or watch TV, and the controllers are dressed in suits and ties. I recommend InterRail Globa ...
