GREAT CITIES

 It's often said that Catalonia is an interesting place to travel and go out at the enjoyable beaches with warm weather. You should book  holiday resort in the capital: the staff at the hotel are always really polite and helpful.

First of all you must see the main city of Catalonia, Barcelona. You must go to the Tividabo Mountain where you can see the whole city, from Tibidavo Mountain to The Mediterranean Sea. There your children can go to the Tibidabo Park and enjoy a lot with the the Magic Mountain, one of the most amazing lookout points, from where you can enjoy the best view of Barcelona.

 

My favourite landmark in this amazing city is Catalonia Square, where you can walk wherever you want, you can choose plenty directions. For example:  from the Rambles to the Mediterranean Sea. Along the way you can visit:

• El Mercat de la Boqueria, where you can buy different kinds of food from around Barcelona to whole world

• The Rambla Statues, with a wide range of  perform characters.

• And at the Rambla  end to the East, you can get to the Cristobal Boats: Pinta, Niña and Santa Maria.

 

In a scorching day you can go to the Barcelona beach, sunbath and enjoy with having a bath...or go shopping in Triangle area where there is airconditioned sistem.

Moreover, walking by the parks is always  a good idea to take a free and healthy day. It remained when I was operated and cannot take a taxi car or a bus and I went to visit all the great parks around the city. There are a lots of romantic corners with comfortable shadow  and wooden bench... many classic status. I fortunately visited all them near to my brother's flat, I love its!

Some of them are very, very interesting, like Park Guell, Park del Laberint, etc.

Barcelona Zoo is a great place to visit with children, because they like lot of animal, and it is a good outdoor activity .

The most romantic place in Barcelona is the Barri Gotic, with the narrow stoned streets,  the beautiful antic shops  and memorabilia buildings. You have to visit Santa Maria del  Mar Cathedral, one the most interesting buildings, where long time ago was the poor fishers Church.

                        

Then, if you have more time you should visit wide variety of museums like, Caixa Forum, Museu Picasso, etc. There are some important lovely news, you can go to La Nit dels Museus it is free!

A new T-shirt about a building of Barcelona would be a good souvenir to take back with yours.

And other tip, you don't have to wear a T-shirt of the Madrid football  team, specially if this day is a competition Barça day.

 

The music that's move me!

When I was younger I used to listen different kinds of English music. In my house in summer days my sister and I used to paints the walls of my old huge house, at the same time we were getting used to listening Contestatari Catalan singer-songwriter like Lluís Llach, Raimon or Spanish like Joan Baez. We knew the songs completely because we listened over and over. 

In my teens I usually listened  revolutionary French music... in Secondary school, because I was getting used to understanding  French. George Brasens and Moustaki are my prefers.

 

 

Some times I needed to be energetic I used to listen Frank Zappa, Supertram, Pink Floyd, etc.This type of music was from my older brother who had a good musical equipment. I have never gone to see these musicians or singer perform. So I would like to go in the future.

 

 

 

 

Another times I felt  a little depressed I used to listen song like this Our house from Madness band. It's a very catchy song, so it changes my mood.

 

 

 

This song always made me fell happy and without any worries.

Then, after listening this band I was getting used to dancing rock with Rolling Stone. Your tune is very beat, I love it. All these types of music now remind me my youth.

 

Nowadays I'm used to listening another kinds of music specially black music, like soul, jazz, reggae, because I need to active when I do the chores in my house. Then I'm getting to doing different difficult activities to me from my house with music.

Finally the music that it really move me is Aretha Franklin. whit ...  Killing Me Softly. Although, when I am travelling by my white car I 'm getting used to listening Adele, because of  I will be able to improve my little English.

 

Walking by the mountains

Some people believe that walking along the mountains and paths can be very easy and they won't need too much advices. But you should really trust me because I might be an experienced expert in this topic. For several years I have been walking around world mountains from Catalonia to India, so I know about what I'm talking.

First of all, the days before your walking you must have prepared the whole equipment to be properly ready, like:

- A suncream and a hat to protect from strong sun.

-A map, a mobile phone and a compass in case you get lose.

-A waterproof, you might need in the changed weather in the  mountain top.

And then, of course, that's it into a light backpack.

Secondly, to feed right your body you might take some dry food and some kinds of healthy/energetics drinks like Aquarius in order to be well hydrated. Then, make sure you will able to eat properly, because you might need a lot energy during the trip.

Moreover, to fell comfortable, you might choose: light clothes, trousers with pockets, good shoes make sure they won't hurt you. You must be careful where you put your foot, some inexperienced people turn your ankle badly and then they have a sprained ankle.

Finally before you start to walk you should do dynamic stretching it is better than starting without doing anything, remember you have a single body, be careful! If you want to learn more about it you can visit this web: http://www.wlv.ac.uk/default.aspx?page=30275

 

They might be a close family because they are very happy. They can't have an argument because of they are laughing at the moment. The little daughter must be smaller than the boy because she seems less taller than him. 

It must be summer or springtime, I suppose, they are dressing beautiful summer clothes.

They might be in your free time, enjoying outside together.

The picture must have taken in a sunny day because there are  lot of light.

They cannot be a Spanish family because she don't seem from here, she is too fair. He might be son from Spanish parents.
