A Shelter For Both the Young and Old

Living the last days of your life in a mode that is deeply rooted in age-old tradition and with a flair for drama and fun, Spain is where you should go to when looking for a new atmosphere diverse from what we are regularly used to. For the world-weary executive who has had about just enough of the manically fast pace of life in the metropolis, the bustle of Spain is a bright change indeed. Of course, as with other highly urbanized places, Spain has countless stores and shops to select from. However, Spain's charm lies within the fact that they still permit traditions to take part in their day-to-day lives.

A visitor in Spain would undoubtedly head off to see the bull fights, flamenco dance in the streets, and even the colorful village fiestas. After all these activities, one can immediately participate in the centuries-old tradition of siesta. Thanks to a close temperature and an array of sights to take advantage of, staying in Spain for a long time is a appealing prospect for hardworking corporate people everywhere. Retirees are amongst those who are the new denizens of Spain's villages and cities. These people are drawn into the cheerful way of living that Spaniards prize.

Spain: A Shelter For Gay and Lesbian Travelers

Spain is among my favorite venue not only for its well-known cities but also for the country's being open-minded and radical. In June 2005, same-sex marriage was legalized in Spain, and gays and lesbians were all elated to find out the news. Apart from having constitution about adoption by same-sex couples, same-gender marriage proved that sexual orientation is not important when seeking for delight.

After the Spanish executive's legalization of same-sex wedding, Spain has became a perfect venue for lesbian and gay travelers. There are now growing gay territories in the country especially in Barcelona and Madrid where queer travelers can visit. One of the venues where homosexuals can go is the unbeatable Sitges, where gay resorts flourish. Hundreds of tourists tour in this venue because of its fine weather and exciting gay nightlife.

Moreover, for people who want to experience the superb entertainment from queer performers, then they should drop by at the Sitges Carnival. Queer thespians wear gold lame thongs, bright tight-fitting attires, and heavy makeups while singing along and dancing to loud music. Aside from the Carnival, it is also advisable for travelers to check out venues like Torremolinos and Ibiza, which are other well-known holiday destinations, where people can have a more fun and pleasurable vacation.

A Spanish Pickings Satisfaction

One thing I like to do when I wander to new places is to try the various street foods. There is a certain notion of rapport as soon as I eat the same food as the local people. Never mind if I sometimes do not know what I put into my mouth as long as I am savoring the zest of food.

For my unforgettable Andalucian travel, I decided to check the very distinguished Spanish snack called churro. I have tasted churro before, but this period I have to taste the true Spanish-made churro. Noted in the West as Spanish roll, this spiral or sometimes wheel-shaped snack is prepared by dip frying the wheels or spirals shaped from wheat flour. However, most places in Spain make use of potato instead of wheat file. I have noticed that churro is best eaten with real hot chocolate, but I also adore my churro with those cinnamon sprinkles all over. There is nothing to match up in taking an afternoon rest in Andalucia while having a flavorful churro and a hot chocolate drink. Some of the outstanding things in life may be rich with calories, but I do not mind at all.

Excellent Gift I Delightfully Received Last Christmas

Last Christmas, I dropped by a special chum in Spain where I spent one month of shopping and touring. While I was in that awe-inspiring place, she introduced me to her family and other friends who cordially welcomed me.

They say that when you are in Spain, you must not ignore to drop by its bazaars (small stalls where you can bargain for clothes, toys, shoes, and more). When I thought I could buy everything in America, Spain offered me the most incomparable finds like dashing outfits, decorative housewares, paintings, ceramic tiles, glasses, utensils, and foods. I also had a chance to spot the celebrated Loewe's dashing collection and, most of all my favorite leather wears---from jackets and coats to belt and boots! My friend likes me so much that she bought the strong blue boots, which I was eyeing since we arrived at the bazaar, as her Christmas gift for me.

The bazaars only open at night which is why my chum also brought me to the most spirited place in Spain -- its -- bars where we danced and sang our hearts out with romantic Spanish songs. We also went by the beach where we took advantage of the fine white sand, crystal-clear waters, and the wind's cold breeze.
