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 Guo-Qiang: I want to believe”. Initially, I had planned to stay only 5-6 hours in Bilbao, but my train was canceled and I stayed one night. This after I wandered around the city for about 2 hour ...
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 museum. “Museo de Jamon” is called and here you can try various types of ham, sauces and other goodies. Puerta del Sol is km 0 from Spain. From here begins the numbering of highways and roads. ...
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 for dolphins. The farther you go from the shore and the minutes go by, the stronger the emotions. Will they appear? Will we find them? Or do we all come back disappointed? When you see the fi ...
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 ...
