It marries of Mozart, the place where the genius was inspired

You have the sensation to attend an encounter the perfection, or better said, where he began the perfection and the genius of a man that was erected like the largest one of every time. Perhaps before Mozart the music was beautiful, but after what did the was unattainable. Therefore, now, when you are to some meters of the House of Mozart, in Salzburg, have that strange sensation.

You do it. You are one of the hundreds of fan to the music of Mozart that arrives to here, the same that return time and again by that strange energy that now you feel. You will feel flattered to see the first spinet of Mozart, musical instrument seemed to the piano, that already touched with mastery since its first years and that amazed upon doing it with the eyes bandaged. Something that perhaps you have tried but have not achieved.

Likewise also it will be his first violin and his manuscripts that wrote during different ages, each one more impressive than the previous, Also different objects that are of great I please for the visitors, such as clothes of the boy Mozart, letters of the family that received due to the enormous talent of his son.

I laugh Dee, through the United Kingdom

The River Dee extends its arms by various parts of the United Kingdom, catching hardly Scottish lands –Of where it is born-, Welsh, Irish and English. It travels through all those territories, but only its rural zone, where the stones, small green and gray mounts are raised in its habitat, besides in a prosperous very little, narrow river, what the smiling impression to be gives me a suitable river for the locals where to soak and escobillar its dirty clothes.

A not smaller annotation is the proximity of the Royal Deeside, where some generations of the real family passed holidays and even they were raised in this valley close to this part of the river, what without doubt offers an I record special to this quite modest natural attraction.

What corresponds clearly to England is avoided for its inhabitants, being respected a smaller resource in its industry, economy and tourism, therefore no populated that be known for some notable attraction is found in its skirts.

The ruins of the Castle of Threave are found on the Scottish zone of Galloway, this was inhabited once by the King Earls of Douglas, “Black Douglas”, that was in boom in the 14th century. This remote castle has the simple image of a fortress of war, therefore is composed of a tower of 21 meters of high of 5 levels. The title of Castle remains him quite large, but is nice to visit it in its solitude in the valley, unified with the herbs of the place.

By the county of the Louth, in Ireland, the River Dee gives for finalized its long one traveled through, this is in the County of they Dig, of where the Castle is known Saunderson, that after various changes of owners and fires has returned a precinct scout Irish –To what degenerated-.

Further back, in the hills of Savoy, on them limit of Switzerland with Italy there is numerous cities, of which Aix-them. Bains is the best-known one, frequented by sick that seek thermal water.

The organization of dissemination and recreation for the tourists is one of the large industries in France.

Offerings of Trip to Europe: The tourism in the old world

The world of the tourism and the trips today for the present has given an upset of 360 degrees with respect to the tourist tendency of one or two decades behind. Old the trips were a luxury. Who they travelled (traditional tourists) had a noticeable status set against other people that could not assume the high prices of the flights, lodgings, tourist packages, etc. We are speaking of the traditional tourist, not of the backpackers who always they have been characterized for obtaining large offerings who knows about where. Therefore well, since already some years ago, the tendency of tourism has left sideways to the affluent and has become a tackle within reach of any.




Travelling no longer is a privilege of some, is a species of democracy viajera. Alone it suffices with seeing the statistics that show us the each time greater presence of young travelers. Therefore well, all this added to the terrible crisis of these days they do that each time be more the businesses that offer incredible offerings, all to remain in the competitive one and increasingly more abundant market of the trips.

Though it is certain that to Travel to Europe, above all from Latin America, continues being respected like a luxury, is possible to obtain so much cheap prices in flights as in lodgings. Through the web plane tickets to prices of heart attack with the proliferation of the new air companies of low price they can be found and the each time greater presence of boarding houses and economic hotels.




Travelling inside Europe is still more economic. The famous weekend escapades offerings are not left to expect and they overstuff the web with prices that seem in jest. Not so known and known agencies open routes to cosmopolitan, commercial destinies and to places of rest, rural, far away. We say that now the offering of trips to Europe the travelers they present it and not the agencies. Old we should elect default packages, today for the present each traveler chooses its destiny, and the routes that desires to do. For all it exists an offering and a cheap price. So alone it is question to seek what more be accommodated to our pocket.





It is as well as we can find adventure trips packages, trips to European cities, trips of skiing, trips of holy week, and others to prices that oscillate between the 100 and 600 euro for 3 or 4 days of incessant trip. Clearly that the price is in direct relation with the quantity and quality of places that will visit. For example to travel to Paris, London or Milan does not turn out to be so cheap as to know some city to the interior of Spain or Portugal. We have described the general panorama on the trips to Europe, inside Europe and the offerings of trip. Now it is your work to elect to the travel agency of your preference. Good trip!

Norway, enjoyment of the beauty of its stations.

Norway is a so much, very beautiful country in winter as in summer. In winter, the large snow-covered extensions, the frozen water and the clear air and stimulant constitute a beauty sum setting that causes the love of the inhabitants by the land. You can obtain economic flights toward Norway.



In summer, when the seas are open, thousands of people are going to travel to the long of the coast and to visit the fjords.these are channels protected that go very inside the land and in their edges are elevated high cliffs, that at times are not alone covers of trees, but of marvelous flowers of all classes. As if it wanted to compensate the inhabitants by the long winter, the nature gives them a very beautiful summer.



The capital was called Christian for a long time, but he was renamed with the name of Oslo in January of 1925. To he arrives her for a generally full, beautiful and very long fjord of ships of all the tonnages. In the fjord there is numerous small islands, to which the inhabitants in summer they respond and they live in her outdoors and in the simpler way. The Norwegians believe that the sun of summer is very healthy and that is impossible to resist it a lot.



It is used to happening that in summer many young girls of the Norwegian rural districts be going to live to huts of wood of the pastures of the mountains.although they carry there a solitary life, they have to work a lot, therefore they milk the cows and they devise cheese and fat. Thus of tranquil it is many times the life in this northern country that gives us during all the year the beauty of its landscape.

Castle of Threave, a construction on the River Dee

The Castle of Threave is an old construction, located in an island of the River Dee, very near the Castle Douglas of Dumfries in Scottish lands (to see hotels in Scotland).

The castle has a rectangular form and is comprised of five plants. To arrive at the first plant, the only form to agree is through a bridge that conducts directly to the entrance of the construction. The first silver has a vaulted form, and originally, there was located the kitchen. Immediately next to the first plant extends a deep basement, that was the jail, next to its respective well. Originally, in the kitchen there was a great stair in spiral that conducted to the large parlors of the second plants. In those large rooms extended a second bridge, that conducted to an upper level. And over these flats, were the two last with several cameras of different uses. All the construction was surrounded by a great wall, besides three towers, located strategically in the corners.

Currently, alone five meters of the wall they stay standing and an alone one of the towers, besides the trench that surrounded the wall traditionally. If the castle wants to be visited nowadays, this can be done in small embarkations that offer the tourist service.

The walk to the Castle Threave is interesting therefore conserves memories of the Scottish history of the Middle Ages. The castle was built around the year 1370, by the third count Douglas, Archibald the Somber one. The castle was inhabited by the count, its wife and its children. The possession of the castle in the hands of the Douglas was to the year 1455, when this was captured by the king James II. The castle passed by hand of the Crown, remaining as its official guardians, the Maxwell.

Then, during to the war from 1638 to 1640, the castle was captured by the religious group of the Covenanters. In the hands of these, several of the buildings of the castle, partly they were destroyed, leaving alone part of the standing construction. Further on, during the Napoleonic war, the remainders of the castle that still stayed standing, they were utilized as jail to imprison the French prisoners. Recently in 1913, the castle passed to the guardianship of the State, and now is conserved like a historic monument of the old one Scotland.

Cantabrian mountain range: Mountains through Spain

The Cantabrian mountain Range is a mountainous chain located in the Iberian Peninsula. This it represents one of the most important ecosystems of the region, since enjoys a privileged climate, by its location close to the sea. This climate favors the existence of an extensive extension of forests, that are the takes refuge of a great and various fauna and flora. You would like to initiate an adventurous trip toward her? Therefore it will charm you to know that you will be able to carry out trekking through its mountains, lakes and rivers that are really a natural treasure of Spain. At present, the UNESCO has the project to convert this mountain range in Reserve of the Biósfera.

The Cantabrian mountain Range is situated to the north of the Spanish territory. Its extension is of 400 kilometers of long and in western direction, goes since the Solid one Galician-from Leon to the region of the Basque Mounts. Besides, it crosses the autonomous regions of Asturias, Cantabria and Castille and Leon. Its formation is basically of solid rocks, chiefly of silica.

In its geographical constitution, the Cantabrian mountain Range presents three parts that you can differentiate itself easily: the Solid Asturian head Office, the Mountains of Santander and the Threshold of the Basque Country.

The altitude of the Cantabrian mountain Range is of around 1.500 meters above sea level. Nevertheless there are peaks that surpass happiness altitude. For example, the peak Rock Works, reaches an altitude of 2.018 meters, while the Peak Valmera and the Peak Gorbea reach the 1.707 and the 1.537 meters respectively. You believe that can resist upon doing mountaineering in so high latitude?

Besides, this ecosystem counts on a series of rivers, that complete the esthetics of the beautiful landscape. Two of its more important rivers, the Deva and the Nervión, they flow into in the Cantabrian Sea, while, that the other that crosses its valleys is the River Ebro, which flows into in the Mediterranean Sea.

Thus, the Cantabrian mountain Range is without doubt a marvelous natural paradise, that is found in a very good state of conservation, thanks to the private agencies, as the state dependences, that worry about the protection of this ecosystem that harbors to hundred of different species from fauna and flora.

If one it is found visiting the regions of Asturias, Cantabria or Castle and Lion, finally will not want to be lost of knowing a place as fascinating as this.

Old church of Petäjävesi: The art of the wood

When we request the services of a master carpenter, ¿is Not always to fix some damages of the furniture or some articles of wood that have in our house? Or –I doubt it completely- ¿they Request an expert in carpentry so that concoct them a masterpiece of the carved and the architecture? Simply it do not we do because do not we believe capable to a worker of the wood to do something that do not be to hammer, to nail or to grease adhesive to rough objects as tables, movable, chairs or any object of this material related to the purest humility of resources.

In Finland, a master carpenter concocted and he did one of the largest samples of the carved in wood of the entire world and of every time, is the Old Church of Petäjävesi. The teacher –And not only of carpentry but a natural artist- that built this monument of the Lutheran religion of the s XVIII, someone he went by name practically unpronounceable, but we can do the effort to compensate for which contributed to the culture and European north architecture, to Scandinavia, is Jaakko Klementinpoika Leppänen.

Its construction was carried out between 1763 and 1765, but was finished by the son of the author, Erkki, in 1821, who added a bell tower with the same style of the one that the main base was concocted, all of pine, which justifies that the time have done very little damage to its structure. The pine and its artistic breeze do not yield in their eternal intent to be done for the enjoyment of the lovers of the eccentric art, sacrificed and, above all, old.

The Old Church of Petäjävesi is flanked by a harmonious natural landscape, a short lawn and trees of thin trunk, besides a lake –Characteristic of the churches of the old one Scandinavia- that qualifies the natural image of all the environment, like allegory to that the religious faith is part of the forces of the nature. A scandinavian temple always is found among a natural landscape in response to that allegory.

Its interiors are a lot better worked that its external image, which not freckle of gullible, therefore enjoys a beautiful one rusticidad not alien to the contemplation amazed. Vaults, pulpits and sculptures offer what always seeks a tourist lover of the art, of different brown and gray tones, I repeat, all concocted with pine as to assure his perpetuation to the step of the years.

The Dutch dikes.

Itself it cannot disembark in Holland without seeing immediately its dikes.when we approach the island of Walcheren, going for sea from England to Flesinga, we see one of the but beautiful of these jetties, Westkapelle, that extends along the western coast of the island. This dike is elevated to almost nine meters above sea level and possesses almost 5 kilometers of long-but small that the famous dike of Helder, near Aikmaar.



Holland possesses a dozen similar dikes, although more small.Están done of clay and sand, reinforced with columns of wood introduced on the ground and with another classes of defenses.in some cases can be observed like have been inserted immense blocks of granite among the pipes of the supports.



It can be observed like in the majority and the dikes, in their upper part and to the sides, they have been planted infinity of trees and flowers of all types.the dikes are used to being an excellent tourist attraction for everyone who visit the country, above all by the lighthouses that possess and the old embarkations been stranded in them.

Although the main function of the dikes is to defend the land against the violent invasion of the sea and the rivers, they serve also for other useful end. Along them highways have been built and built a lot houses, that upon accompanying the landscape, they do that the view return marvelous.

The invasion of the sea in the Dutch territory.

What now is known in Holland as the “Gulf Zuiderzee“, was, to the century XIII, a land more or less united drought to the North of Holland by the west, and to the province of Friesland by the east, being extended to the north from Amsterdam to the row of islands situated to the north of those provinces.in a series of hardly storms the north Sea of opened step The exterior barrier, carrying to the destruction and death to innumerable farmsteads and transforming a flourishing countryside in a salty lake.



Most of the floor of Holland is mob, and this fact affects arduously as for the construction of the houses.Amsterdam, the most important one of the Dutch cities, raises itself in the place of a treacherous marsh and is built entirely on steer. The placement of steer is a so fast process in Holland as slow in other countries.


Amsterdam is likewise an example of constant change operated in the system of channels.in recent years some of their leaks have been blocked with sediments and even themselves dry.the dredges work always and the engineers are constantly busy in resolving any difficulty that themselves present.in reality, almost we can say that the construction and the repair of dikes and channels and the formation of “polders” are the. It will be because of it that in no another country the profession and engineer so is valued, knowing that the Dutch engineers possess an excellent reputation anywhere of the world.

More on the Dutch…

In Holland there is not many “rich idle”. Neither the active and large cities neither the villages provide them the class of entertainments for which themselves suponene that live. If diversions exist, one must seek them directly at The Hague, that, besides being the capital of the nation, “it is less” Dutch of the cities of Holland, or in Arhemn, that has maintained its medieval reputation of being the happiest one of the province of Gueldres.


The Dutchman authentic is ordered in all the things. When he outline the plans of its house or garden prefers the straight lines to the curves, by telling it of any way funny.this can be a defect for many a lot more badly structured tourists than they visit the country, since the conception of the things rigorously practice of the Dutchman modern has been opposite often to the artistic spirit that did famous to Holland in the 17th century.



Nevertheless, many modern Dutch painters have continued properly the artistic traditions of their country, and there is not you test true that the Dutchman medium lack good flavor to a greater extent that the individual of any another city.

Be which were the defects of the Dutch spirit to this respect, it are found extensively compensated by his passion by the neatness, that is famous everywhere. The Dutch cities, especially the smallest, they are of an immaculate cleaning. It visits the country and you verify it.

Broek, the cleanest Dutch village of the world.

In the previous article we comment you that if there is is something that characterizes the Dutch the cleaning that maintains, under every.order because of it today I will describe you one of the cleanest places of the world, to know: the village Broek. It located in the Waterland north of Holland, he has been respected for a very long time already, as the first one in matter of cleaning.


In an epoch he was told that to the men of Broek he was them prohibited to smoke, except with pipe of covered stove, so that the ash could not be scattered, and that was not permitted that the cows passed for the village, but they had to be conducted by the outskirts. According to the legend, was paid the boys so that were removed the dust placed in the cracks of the pavement four times for hour, and there was a law done not write, which established that if a villager saw, from its window, to fall a leaf, he had to leave to collect it and to throw it to the channel.



But any that have been the virtues of this beautiful Dutch village, at present, if the visits, you will not be able to corroborate everything that we have just said you, since with the step the time the cleaning to stopped being the characteristic feature of Broek. Does not it mean that be a dirty city, but no longer laws exist “done not write” so strict, as that of raising to the minimum leaf of tree to throw it to the most next channel. Nevertheless, we will see that still in the fields, the cows are to a beam to impede that the same they dirty all the green extension, for example.

Likewise we congratulate the villagers of Broek, since to maintain the order of the city and the cleaning do that can live on himself a milder form and that the tourist sits down a lot more comfortable and he can enjoy still more than the place.

Holmenkollen, the main center of leap in ski of Norway

As the title of the present article advanced it, Holmenkollen is, above all, the center of the main winter sport of Norway, in which you can find cheap hotels in Norway: the leap with ski. The ski not alone is used in the sport, but is a middle to travel in the snow. The skiador moves forward, being prompted with one or two sticks of bamboo, in an extreme of which there is a disk and a long nail so that can be lit in the snow without being sunk a lot. To the extent that enlarges the velocity of its skate of wood, the body of the skiador moves in a way harmonic, being slid for these incredible slopes Norways.



The leap with ski is a lot more serious than the simple one to skate. Long plans inclined are prepared, like we see in the upper image, since which the skiador slides to maxima velocity.some champions of leap in ski have come they elevate to but of 50 meters. The leap with ski is one of the sports but exciting of the world, and in 1926, in the famous Play of the north Countries celebrated in Stockholm, the Norwegians resulted champions.


Homenkollen has carried also the art to skate to a marvelous state of perfection.the ski is considered the most prominent sport of the region; the patinadoras Norways are used to dancing on the ice and from there to participate in increibles contests of the ones that many times result winners.

Any tourist that visit Holmenkollen can learn leap in ski. Clearly it is that as the novices will not obtain very efficient results, but instructors and the region they specialize itself in doing that the tourists go of Holmenkollen although be jumping two meters by the air.

Suomenlinna: Finnish wall

There is famous walls throughout all the planet, of different cultures, of different times, of different influences, but all with the same object, to be protected of something or some. Some, the majority, built crudely without no artistic position that does not cause any grace upon being looked at –truly this quality is not very necessary, knowing that the walls serve to protect and not for fascinate to the look-, but exceptions exist that think –That I want to believe- in the future inhabitants, so that they can enjoy an architectural bequest of a lot of position and utility. Great quantity of walls from there to the present time they are invalid to their objectives, are falls or are so weak by the course of the summers that serve only for to be appreciated.

Suomenlinna (in finadles, Finnish” “castle) is not only a wall as the above-mentioned up the lines but an imposing fortress that flanks six islands of the capital of the Finnish country, Helsinki.; although before going there you should seek hotel to lodge you tranquil and relaxed.

Although it is found in land of Finland, its construction was initiated in the 18th century, exact in 1748, by the swedish government after counteracting the Russian expansion that forgave no land as potential colony of its empire.

All a record of wars passed through its edges, the Russian invasion managed to give in 1909, likewise the civil war of the own country of Finland in 1918, in which was utilized this walled as field of munitions.

At present, especially in summer, this zone is increased of population by the various tourists that arrive at this bay of traveled through historic civilian, besides that they contemplate the beauty of their precision and construction near the dangerous waves of Helsinki.

It is not only a walled of coast but are 6 islands, practically amorphous, whose reliefs are lined of enormous stones that constitute a high and insurmountable fortress. Besides, some parts can also be enjoyed as spas, doing of the experience of its a lot more complete visit, since exactly in the epoch of summer is when the affluence of visitors is greater, by a lot of margin, to any phase of the year. Then an important tourist cultural and historic place can be visited and of past to be given a chapuzón in distant water, not always prone to this pleasure, as are the naturally cold water of Scandinavia.

In epochs of winter, this is a small one populated of only 850 settlers, that occupy only a small corner of the several islands that compose this very interesting attraction of tourism.

The happy days of carnival in France.

The festival of the kings is the beginning of the carnival, that hard to the Lent. In the South, particularly, is an epoch of great holgorio I publish, and there you can find economic hotels where to lodge you.. Parades with all types of grotesque and nonsensical decorations are done.

Ireland and the Elves

Ireland, the Island Esmeralda, land of the Celts, of castles, of memorable legends and of cheap hotels. Among these it emphasizes that of the elves. Beings that inhabit the forests and that have the function to protect and to watch the creatures that inhabit in them. The most famous are the Leprechauns and the Pixies. The first they obtained his name of the Gaelic, and translates “shoemaker of a single shoe”. They are called thus because they occupy most of the time in devising footwear. The legend says that they hide gold and that upon being captured they can reveal the place where they hide it, but if is loses sight of they will disappear to the instant.
