Since summer is already here, and some of you might be thinking of doing some travelling I decided to post some picture, not just of where I live, but also of places I have visited in Spain, in case you're interested in coming here. Most tourists who come to this country limit themselves to Madrid and Barcelona, so I'm posting pictures of other places, that are also worth visiting.
I'm going to start with Madrid because that's where I live:
MadridMadrid's Royal Palace. No, the king doesn't live there. It's a museum.
Madrid's Plaza Mayor, one of the eldes buildings of the city
The Canary Islands: Lanzarote and TenerifeA volcanic beach of Tenerife Island (Playa Jardin)
A church in Lanzarote Island. The whole island is volcanic, so the entire ground is made of ashes.
Timanfaya's Park in Lanzarote. There are one hundred of actives volcanos there. The ground is still warm. If you sit down on the ground, your behind will burn. No kidding!
Lanzarote's vineyards. They grow wine grapes from the ashes. They actually make one of the best white wines from Spain.
Cadaqués, Catalonia (Cataluña)The beautiful town of Cadaqués at the north of Catalonia. Spanish painter Salvador Dali lived there for over 50 years. He did most of his works there. One of the most beautiful places I have visited in Spain. It's 3 hours drive from Barcelona.
View of the bay.
Streets of Cadaqués.
One of the many peeble beaches in Cadaqués. The beaches are perfect of diving.
Dali's house in Port Lligat Bay, Cadaqués. It's a very curious house. It was originally a fisherman's shak, but Dali turned it into a house. It's not so big inside. It has the form of a labyrinth, more or less. The living room is decorated with portraits of famous men who wore their mustaches as Dali did. The house also has a pool in the form of a penis. La piscina peniforme, he called it. (I don't have a picture of it, sorry).
That's all for now.
