Such fantastic atmosphere like Barcelona has no city in the world! Buildings of Gaudi are something really crazy and special, I have never seen something like this. The spanish Tapas is a fantastic idea if you want to eat a variety of small things and Sangria (red wine with pieces of fruits) is fun to drink. Just be careful about pickpockets (especially on Rambla boulevard!). A great city for weekend!

Athens is a noisy, poluted and not too cosy city but a walking up to the Acropolis was a wonderful trip. Definitely it is nothing for strong smokers who have no good condition :-). The subway was suprisingly very modern and clean. I think one of the best in Europe.

You can reach easily La Pedrera by metro, the station Diagonal. It is situated on Passeig de Gracia street. One ticket cost 14 Euros and we were waiting about half an hour in a line but it´s worth seeing. There are three parts - the apartment, loft and wonderful roof top with wavy lines and unconventional, somewhat crazy chimneys. In the apartment you can learn how rich families lived in 20´s of last century. We spent there more then one hour taking wonderful photos, especially on the roof.

The fabulous park!

We took a taxi to park Guell because we heard that it is quite a long and steep way if we use metro, about 20 min. walking. One ticket cost 8 Euros but the park is an unbelievable, absolutely unique place which has no parallel in the world! And if you are first time in BCN for sure you must see it!

After more than 10 years, since I was last here, Madrid made a totally new impression on me. At that time people seemed to me seemed closed, uncommunicative and spoke only Spanish. I remember the huge dug up, dusty boulevards ... I didn´t like this city too much. But everything is about emotions and this year, when I arrived to Madrid, I felt totally differently. Probably because now I am able to speak a little Spanish. Madrid is relatively young, a huge city with 3 million people. You won´t find here many historic monuments but the public transport is here very good (metro has 10 routes) and everywhere something is happening, lively atmosphere is thrilling. Lots of parks, cozy coffee bars with sweet churros, tapas bars - you feel relaxed here. Galleries are definitely the biggest attraction. Indeed, apart from Don Quixote and caravels, who discovered America, is enrolled in world history mainly Spanish painting: Picasso, Dali, Goya, El Greco... Although I am a layman I was fascinated by biblical paintings of El Greco, Goya or horror-erotical paintings of Hieronymus Bosh in the gallery Prado. This gallery is great to visit and see for anyone.

No wonder that Warsaw isn´t a spectacularly beautiful city... It´s well-known that its ancient beauty was damaged by World War II and the post-war silhouette built "Stalin´s children”. However in the jungle of block of flats is possible to find a few gems, such as Cathedrals or Royal Castle. But although Poles suffered in history a lot, when you speak with locals, you feel the self-confident nation. What I didn´t really like: Warsaw is not friendly for pedestrians. Pass it on foot means to march through integrated circuit of block of flats and 8-lane expressway. Anyway it is good to walk from the periphery to the Old Town (it starts by the street Nowy Swiat). Among block of flats I found hidden cathedrals and castle Belvedere. The Old Town is very nice. It is fascinating that was totally re-built after World War II.

I have to agree with Alfonso. And I just want to add also that there is a very poor medical care in Ireland. Unfortunately I had to go to a dentist when I was in Dublin and they still use amalgam filling! The dentist told me that they don´t use white filling to molars! Generally Ireland is a very unusual country, Irishmen aren´t pleasant and a bureaucracy is incredible. When I spoke with locals they complained about paying for water at home :-). For them water is going from rain so should be for free. They don´t understand that water is necessary to clean, heat it up, pipe it etc. They are receiving grants for water fees but anyway they protest.

Met very beautiful escort from Alit Group in Seattle after a long flight from Prague via Amsterdam. Excellent experience with agency and escort was well-educated, elegant, refined and fluent in English. This is the second guest in Seattle from this agency. All details were handled by Alice with cordial efficiency. Alice was very helpful in her recommendations. Excellent value. Strongly recommend Alit Group.
