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 ...
At around 3:15 pm, when I arrived in Barcelona, Placa de Catalunya was like an anthill. So, I confirm what is being said about the nightlife in Barcelona: it starts around 02:00 and ends at sunrise. I really liked the small, winding streets between the Ramblas. So much so that I enjoyed wandering through them dozens of times. Port Vell is fascinating. Hundreds of tourists follow Christopher Columbus’ advice eve ...
Only now, having arrived in Valencia, do I realize how hectic and lively Barcelona is. Valencia is an old city, bohemian and full of history. The tourist city is divided into 4: “Congress Center”, “Historical Center”, “City of arts and science” and “Royal Marina and beach”. Gothic cathedrals and medieval towers contrast with modern buildings and museums. I only stayed here for 1 day, but it was enough to feel the spirit of the pl ...
In a lifetime you walk around the world 3 times, you eat 30 tons of food, you drink 9000 cups of coffee, you work for 10 years, you sleep for 20 years, you stay in the bathroom for 3 years, you are stuck in traffic for 7 months, 12 years you spend in front of the TV, of which 19 days looking for the remote control, only 1/5 of your life you really live it. Live your life!
Berlin can be defined as the city of black and white. It is made up of luxurious areas, business buildings, imposing cathedrals, clean streets but also not very pleasant areas, where the imprint of the war can still be seen. The city went through extreme periods: fascism, communism. It was 90% destroyed and rebuilt after World War II. The Berlin Wall is still standing. In fact, the wall was used only to slow the population from the ...
