Oceanografic

One of Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias attraction where there is a restaurant in which it's possible to get a meat together with some fishes. But be care if you are hungry because the meal is served in a french way :-)

After eating the sharks won't care for you :-)

I didn't plan my schedule well so there is no time to watch a movie at Hemisfèric :-(

Huelga General (General Strike)

Instead of being a pelego I joined to the General Strike in Spain :-)
Therefore I went by walking to Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias but I could visit Museo de las Ciencias Príncipe Felipe only for known reason

BioParc

From Plaza del Ayuntamiento take the bus number 17 and get off at the last stop.

It's an ecofriendly space where you can get a giraffe kiss :-)

Peñíscola

It is located about one and half hour north of Valência by train (Benircaló) and bus where the beach is not dark :-)

At the top of the hill there is a castle  where Papa de Luna died

(Un)fortuntately I let my camera at hotel so I could not take a picture of the sunset at Mediterranean sea meanwhile I drank a La Rioja white wine so you should do it by yourself :-)

$hopping

Beyond the ubuquitous El Corte Inglés there is also Mercado Central but it closes early.





so all I have to do is running to Mercado de Colón :-)

Valência

One of the arriving point at Valência is Estación del Norte that is located besides Plaza de Toros which was closed for maintenance today.



As a matter of fact today is sunday so I looked at Guia del Tiempo Libre in order to help me :-)
Therefore I walked to the Cathedral and took a breath inside it...

...before climbing up Miguelete Bell Tower from where there is a great view of the city.

But the tour was not finished yet because I saw Torres de Serranos and I walked toward it and took more pictures.

Ojalá vuelva a Andaluzia

Ojalá is another muslim heritage in spanish language.


I used the expression in this last post in Granada because until now this community was the most pleasant one I've passed by.

Alhambra

Words and ideas are missing so I'll publish some pictures that is more than thousands of words :-)


Anyway on the web you'll find lots of information about it or better look at it by yourself but remember to buy a ticket in advance in www.alhambra-tickets.es

The perfect day exists

It starts without any obligation at all beyond going to school :-)
After a delicious lunch is time to spend at siesta to be prepared to take an Arabic bath in which I heard that business were subject of conversation in the past. Maybe this explains that pictures are not allowed inside.

But as a matter of fact I'm alone so I did an agreement with myself  :-)
And could be finished with a Completo at El Deseo

Rabo de toro

Before going back to Granada I stopped at Plaza de la Corredera

in order to taste Rabo de Toro which seems like a brazilian dish known as Rabada.

As the termometers were showing 42 Celsius degrees it was impossible to go by walking toward train station so I cool myself at Plaza Tendillas.

Chocolate con porras

Take it easy, brazilians. Because is the name by which Chocolate con churros are known in Spain :-)

Córdoba

It is located about 2 and half hour away from Granada

whose most known sight is the Great Mosque

Fortunately, pictures are allowed inside

Unfortunately, Blogspot will start charging me if I publish more :-)
Therefore come on here to look at by yourself.

A walk around the maze of narrow streets at Juderia neighbourhood is worthwhile too

trabajar para vivir y no vivir para trabajar

I heard it from some andaluces (citizens born in Andalucia) that means  working to live instead of living to work in english.

It looks like cheap philosophy but I'll buy it for 2 reasons, first: it's cheap and second : I agree with it :-)

Third: after taking a siesta you'll get up with energy to walk up to Murallas del Albayzín

after losing yourself in its streets

and be rewarded with a view of Alhambra but it will be subject for another post

Veni, vidi and almost vici

Fortunately there is no much snow at Sierra Nevada

Unfortunately it looks like a ghosty city :-(

Finally, the almost is explained because I reached only some meters or kilometers from the top

Shadow and fresh water

Maybe they are the life's reason for some people... included me :-)
For them Granada is good choice at least on sunday because there are lots of places with shadow and fresh water for free choice.
Beyond the joke there is a clear muslim heritage here that can be seen on architecture,

by hearing the sounds from minarets


Or visiting an arabic bath but I haven't taken one ... yet :-)

First world ?

Flight delayed, a mess at boarding time and a smoke room with opened door !!!

Perhaps this explains why this place is self-known as first world maybe because the smoked air is so smart that it will not cross the boundary :-)

Last day in Puerto de la Cruz

So it is time to record some place that makes the day-by-day routine, for instance a statue in front of the port there is a statue in honour of fishwoman

that is close to Plaza Europa

from where El Teide can be seen

before going to school and save a pray at San Telmo hermit ... for those that are catholics

without forgetting my newest friend ... Bob :-)

Garachico

There is no beach in town but you can swim in volcani coves along the rocky coast which is a short walk away from Plaza Libertad
