Staying in the Varying English Speaking Churches in Spain

Enthusiasts travel to Spain because of many reasons, which usually include the country's historical sites, outstanding major attractions, and fine beach resorts. But if you want your summer escapade to be incomparable and at the same time meaningful, then Spanish churches are the answers.

Though Spanish is the primary language in this country, there are still a few churches where you can hear masses in English; you are fortunate if you know where to find them. The most celebrated churches in the Spanish region that use English is the Catholic church Opus Dei sect, which was founded and made in the 20th century. Martin Lunn in Barcelona and Our Lady of Mercy and St. George’s Church in Madrid are other celebrated churches in this country where most travelers often go.

Aside from mass, the majestic architecture of Spanish churches is also a reason for travelers to visit Spain. Whether narrow or big, churches in this wonderful country boast of their delicate and innovative designs. Also, the quiet atmosphere in Spain provide people a place where they can reflect and rejuvenate.

Truly, staying in Spain will never be meaningful and complete without gaining a first-hand experience of this country's awesome churches.

Unearthing a Wonderful Night Life in Mexico

What could be more stimulating than pumping up the night with a frigid beer? During my one-week stay in Seville, I could not afford to miss the stimulating nightlife my fellows were all talking about. So, during one dreary night, I went with them and trooped to various "cervecerias."

When we elatedly entered El Tremendo, one of the most eminent bars in Seville, I knew right then the place's specialty--a tall glass of cold beer! It was perfect for the yummy dried fish or Mojama, nuts, and chips offered. According to my fellows, El Tremendo's frequenters are mostly students and young workers who want to spice up their nights after a busy day and that was just what I saw-- a bunch of young people gulping beer.

Then, the following night, we set off to Texas Lone Star Saloon, also primarily known as Tex-Mex Bar. Believe me, as the name suggests, this bar has an American setting with all the banners and relics from Texas. As we were happily having our beer, we even caught an awesome "NBA Game." A frequenter who observed our amazement, said that the pub commonly airs "NCAA Basketball Games," "Superbowl," and even "Friends." Now, that is surely fine! With all these night-life areas, I grasped that Mexicans are no boring people.

Celebrating A Special Day Through Flavorful Spanish Treats Along The Streets Of Valencia

The magnificent country of Spain is not only noted for its quaint old churches rich in history and culture, but also because of its delicious local delicacies. As a birthday treat, a pal of mine invited me for a relaxing lunch in one of the picturesque restaurants in Valencia. Our main course included "Rape al Limon," or fish in lemon sauce, which is a aromatic dish made of monkfish immersed in a zesty lemon sauce served with baked potatoes. The lemon sauce was impeccably done because it brings out the salty aroma of the monkfish without overpowering it. For the dessert, my companion ordered for a plate of the savory and warm "Tarta de Manzana," or apple tart, which is a pastry dish made with green apples soaked in lemon juice. The citrus essence of the dessert complements the main course, and the sweetness is just right, making it a noted dessert among locals and tourists. As for our drinks, we ordered for two foamy glasses of "Horchata de Chufas," a non-alcoholic drink made from flavorful tiger nuts, or "Chufas." The drinks were surely a fusion of tiger nuts, sugar, cinnamon, and lemon zest. Because of the wonderful views from the restaurant's balcony and the tasty Spanish recipes, it was definitely one of my best birthdays ever.

The Scenic Streets Of Barcelona As The Crowning Destination For Bargain Hunters

Shopping through the scenic streets of Barcelona is a great way to relax after a hot day and get the best bargain deals for items such as blouses, skirts, bags, shoes, and other chic accessories. I was planning to retreat back into my dainty hotel room after a long day of strutting along the streets when I saw a shoe shop named Fosco Co. As it turns out, Fosco Co. is a Spanish brand of shoes offering a variety of chic designs classic for a romantic evening dinner. The prices are just right too, with a lot of the pairs priced between 60 to 80 Euros, considering the high quality and sophisticated motif of the shoes. The pair that I fell in love with has a black and gray theme with floral patterns and an open-toe tip complete with stylish ribbons, perfect for a naughty black cocktail dress. My feebleness soon wore off as I marveled at the other beautiful creations inside the Fosco Co. shoe store. They also have a picturesque red pair with a enchanting open toe style complete with a kitten heel. Their collection is not as embellished as Manolo Blahnik's, but it's surely a treat for your feet.

Discovering the Unexplored Territory of Pamplona

Spain is such a vast and wide state that many of its cities have one noted specialization. For instance, Pamplona, a city nestled on the northern end of Spain, is known basically as a residential area, but it also boasts of several interesting landmarks, making it a good venue for sightseeing activities.

In Pamplona, there is one hotel that offers easy access to practically all the chief tourist destinations of that state. This is the Tryp Sancho Ramirez, a recently remade hotel set in the heart of the place. It has all the basic hotel accommodations that ordinary visitors would usually look for, but what sets it apart from the rest is its proximity to a variety of awesome places found within the area. For starters, the city proper is only less than five minutes away, while several significant monuments like hospitals and schools can be reached within 150 meters. Specifically, the Navarra Hospital and the Navarra University are settled nearby, and in the case of the former, emergency medical services can be quickly availed of. Of course, the hotel has its own class of medical services which trippers can easily request for.

Tryp Sancho Ramirez Hotel also has direct links to a variety of nearby cities like San Sebastian, Logronio, Vitoria, and Zaragoza so trippers can likewise visit them and discover what they have to offer. Additionally, the marvelous Pyrenee valleys located nearby are good grounds to hold excursions and other outdoor activities.

Finally, after all those intriguing outdoor adventures, you can rest in any of the elegant rooms of the hotel which offer standard facilities. However, if you happen to drop by during the midst of San Fermin's feast day, you could end up having more than the traditional accommodations.
