Christmas Markets in Vienna
Vienna in December smells like gingerbread, biscuits just out of the oven, honey, caramel and Christmas pine. And, of course, everywhere they prepare specialities which give this time of year a special taste, where cold isn´t an obstacle to enjoy the city of the lit up monuments. However, the small secrets are in the 10 Christmas markets that the city has to delight those who visit it during the festive period. But before I want to recommend that you don´t miss out on going around the Town Square of Vienna, where yo can enjoy all the magic of the Vienna Carrousel with your children, as well as sweets, puppets, magicians and other wonders which are apart of the Christmas festivities and the Baby Jesus Market, ´Wiener Chistkindlmark´ in German. This has 140 stands to enjoy while buying local crafts, products and everything that you need to enjoy Christmas with your family and/or friends. It´s open from the 21st to the 24th of December, from 10am to 9.30pm, but closing an hour later on Fridays and Saturdays. Another place which is unmissable is the Christmas Crafts Market at Schönbrunn Palace. Here you can see the 70 wooden stores where you´ll enjoy finding objects for gifts while you listen to Christmas carols and your children can play and have fun with kids activities. This market is open from mid-November until Christmas Eve, and it reopens from the 28th of December until New Year´s Day 2012, from 10am until 9pm except on Christmas Eve when it only opens until 4pm.

Spanish painting at the Musée d’Orsay in Paris
This is the exhibition which opens to the public on October 9th and closes at the beginning of January of next year in the Parisian Musée d´Orsay, one of those exhibitions that are so popular among the art-loving crowd as well as the specialists in this field. Under the title ´Spain in two centuries. From Zuloaga to Picasso´, it offers a selection of the best of the Spanish pictorial scene from the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th. The collaborators are the museum where it´s exhibited and the MAPFRE Foudnation, also the owner of a remarkable collection of paintings of the time. Despite the heterogeneity of the selected pieces, the exhibition maintains its single purpose, which is the influence of the Parisian cultural atmosphere on Spanish painters in the last few decades of the 19th century and the first few of the 20th. And it´s not strange that this connexion exists, because Paris, around about the mid-1800s and until very recently, has been the artistic focus of the whole world. Poets and writers, musicians and composers, film makers and showbiz people and sculptors and painters used to go to the French capital all the time. Around its bohemian neighbourhoods we would find those who now fill up the art books and that´s where, one after the other, the artistic avant-gardes were born. The saturation was such that the manifests used to run over each other. Of course, the Spanish creators could not be immune to such strong attraction, and anyone who wanted to be someone in the world of art and creation ended up...Fausto Maria Franchi Rome
