Barcelona’s 15 Best Hipster Bars
5 days in Krakow
5 days in Krakow as well let you know the wonderful city and explore beautiful surroundings. Day 1 On the first day if you arrive late and you only have time for dinner we recommend that you eat some of the local dishes like broccoli or tomato soup, fish (salmon) or meat (pork loin). A very good restaurant is the Biala Roza. Day 2 On the second day we suggest that you walk the streets of the legendary city whose historic center is a world heritage site since 1978. Wander through the old city-Stare Miasto and visit the Wawel Royal Castle. After a light lunch in a typical Polish restaurant (this time we recommend Brzozowy Gaj) I suggest you visit the salt mines of Wieliczka about 10 miles south of Krakow. This is one of the oldest salt mines in the world with a tour of 3.5km full of beautiful halls and chapels decorated with statues of mythical characters made by local artists. Highly recommended. To end the day what could be better than eating at Wieliczka have a typical dinner at a restaurants in front of mine. Day 3 On the third day we want to propose a rather unusual journey to discover the Jewish traditions. In the morning go to the Kazimierz Jewish quarter, visit the many synagogues in the neighborhood and the historic Jewish cemetery annex. After visiting the old Jewish Ghetto go to (Podgórze). Visit the Zablocie Schindler factory, where many images will be recognized if you have seen the movie. At noon you have time to go to the Auschwitz – Birkenau museum...

This is the way the Chinese New Year celebrations officially terminate, a moment of encounter and good wishes from friends and family. Among the traditions is that of a tasty delight ´Yuanxiao´, a glutinous rice ball that symbolizes family togetherness, it can bring happiness and good luck in the new year to the family .

Winter sports in Latvia
It´s winter and therefore it´s time to practice winter sports, such as skiing and snowboarding. A lot of people head for the Alps or the Pyrenees to practice their sport but being high season, the prices are sky high. If you´re looking for a cheaper place and also with the added bonus of never having been there before so you can discover a completely different place, we have a great proposal for you: Latvia. Those who know a bit more about geography will say “but there are no mountains in Latvia!”. True, there aren´t Alpine-sized mountains but they are high enough so that you can practice winter sports in a satisfactory manner. The durations of the descents are shorter than those in Central European mountains but there´s the added plus that each city and town in Latvia has its own ski and snowboard area. Also, you don´t have to worry about the facilities since all of them are modern and well-lit, so you can practice sport even after the sun goes down. For those who are still a bit reluctant, it´s important to say that these facilities are even set up so that novices and young children can learn how to ski, with all sorts of slopes available. Also, it´s like a resort around most slopes, with restaurants, cafes, shops and hotels, since they are inside a city or town. Without doubt, the best place to ski in Latvia is Sigulda Valley, located just 30 minutes northeast of Riga. Here you can find the best slopes in the whole country and definitely the most popular ones. Not only is...
