The City Of Eternal Spring

Someone suggested me that before speaking about a country I should have lived in it for at least six months and nothing more true. I had heard of Medellin before I travelled to Colombia. I knew the city was rather dangerous and that it was mainly known as the city of drug traffic, where everyone was armed and where it would be very easy for a stray bullet to cross my path, but I soon realized things weren’t like that. Due to a twist of fate, I ended up with my bones in the city of eternal spring (that’s what they call it). Now I can tell you that nothing to do with reality because one thing is what they tell you and another very different is how things really are. Medellin is a beautiful city with friendly people and the breathtaking view of lake Guatapé is one of my best memories that I will always keep in my heart.

    You describe making as feel it so close from us, Carlos, whereas Colombia and Spain are quite far apart....You seem to have had an unforgettable experience there, did you learn any language twists? That lake is stunning!

    Yeah Sonsoles, I actually learnt many:

    * Pararse - To stand up
    * Dar papaya - To show off
    * Partir - To fine
    * Dar piso, quebrar - To kill

    and so on... I could do a long list.

The Netherlands

One of my very special places that I truthfully love is The Netherlands. Such location allowed me to see the magic side of things along with some charming and unforgettable memories that've got stuck in my head. As far as I'm concerned, I'll never forget the unbelievable pals I made there. I'm really looking forward to meet them again in order to have a great play date. Another thing I could never forget is the absolutely breathtaking windmills sort of trip I set off with my family. The mills were bigger than I expected, thus I was bowled over all the time. No need to say how aesthetically pleasing they were, you could feel as if you were on the Middle Ages, as if you were going throwback in time. Hope you liked my little article even though I didn't tell all the activities I did!

Welcome to my charming place

Imagen
From the first moment that we could go out to do sports, I decided to discover new places near my area, and here is my favorite by far. I have always loved the sea and its calm, and here I feel that freedom that it gives me. Almost every day I usually go on my bike to see the sunrise and stay a while longer. Some days with my headphones and others being the sound of the waves the music. Definitely, it is my charming place, to relax or to hang out. It is the perfect place.

The island of Lanzarote...

Imagen
I decieded to talk about the whole island of Lanzarote, because I felt in love with this island and the person who came with me. Moreover, it was the home of César Manrique, one of the best architects and person who took care for protecting and preserving the natural heritage of the island. I will always remember the four days we spend here and the different places we visited.When I think in Lanzarote what comes to my mind is the beautiful landscape of Timanfaya National Park, stunning natural places such as Papagayo beach or Cueva de los Verdes, and also lovely/funny moments with my special person. This trip was the best birthday-gift I have ever received!!
