Traveling the World in Marathons
Runners are a new species that are rapidly growing on our planet. These sports enthusiasts devote their Sundays to tracking their heart rate as they add miles to their list of accomplishments instead of resting like the rest of mortals. Today, everyone has that friend who started drinking a Coke or some juice in place of the Friday evening beer, because he or she has to run the marathon that weekend. This new trend has invaded every city, and now it’s even possible to travel the world from marathon to marathon. Here are some of the most well-known or special ones that will be taking place soon: NEW YORK (2 Nov. 2014) The ING New York Marathon is one of the most famous and highly regarded among experts. Over 50,000 participants, who are encouraged by some 130 bands, will race across the Big Apple, passing through well-known areas including Brooklyn, the Bronx, Queens or Fifth Avenue to the finish line in Central Park. The registration fee is $347, nothing more and nothing less, and demand is so high that priority is given to those runners with the best times. http://www.tcsnycmarathon.org/ CHICAGO (12 Oct. 2014) The Bank of America Chicago Marathon is another well-respected city race. The 26.2-mile race visits 29 districts of the capital of Illinois. In addition to receiving a blast of endorphins, the more than 40,000 athletes who take part in the race help support a charitable cause, since the registration is linked to various charitable associations. www.chicagomarathon.com ATHENS (9 Nov. 2014) This is the most authentic and genuine marathon. According to legend, Pheidippides ran to Athens... read more
Enotourism: Wine Tastings in Spain
Red, white and rosé. Wine tourism has no boundaries. And in recent years, we’ve seen an increase in the number of tourists to wineries all across Spain. In this post, I will recommend wineries with offers from open-air tastings to the opportunity to participate in the winemaking process. Smell, taste, enjoy and feel the pleasure of a glass of wine. Hot air balloon ride with views of the Rioja vineyards and a visit to the Bodegas Muga (Haro, La Rioja): A hot balloon ride over the vast fields of Haro is a unique experience. It certainly is a groundbreaking idea within what is known as Enotourism or wine tourism. It’s affordable and above all, very original. Of course, being able to observe the Rioja vineyards from a bird´s eye view is priceless. Afterwards, you can party at Bodegas Muga. Some 20,000 people taste their wines tasted there each year, and many stay to eat and enjoy a good Rioja. Wine Museum of Olite, Navarra: Here you can learn more about each phase of wine production. Compare the grape harvest of the past with that of today. Discover the meaning and principles of the wine harvest, the winemaking steps and maceration times. You will learn about the 11 varieties of grapes grown in Navarra. They compare the cycle of the vine with that of life and they also have playgrounds. It is a great place for visitors both big and small. Weekend tasting of the best Ribera del Duero: It’s truly a treat to visit each of the wineries located in the vicinity of Aranda de Duero. I recommend visit... read more
Take part in our new Instagram contest and win a two-person stay in Berlin
This month we celebrate World Tourism Day with you and it makes us a bit melancholy. Traveling is one of the best ways to create and store unique memories. That evening in Lisbon, the kiss I gave you at the Ponte Vecchio in Florence, the incredible snack in that hidden New York cafe… moments that happen only once in a lifetime and are inevitably linked in our memory with the city in which they took place and which we were a part of for a while. At Only-apartments we like to think that it’s possible to be a little bit of all these places by collecting experiences near and far. Remember what it was like to live like a Parisian? What did you enjoy most about being a Londoner for a few days? Now we want to hear from you. We’re holding a contest through Instagram and will choose the best photo-souvenir from the submissions. The winner will receive a stay for two for a weekend in Berlin. Sounds good, right? So get out your photo albums and take a trip down memory lane. Share your best travel memory with us by using the hashtag #OnlyBeRealTravelers and participate in our contest for real travelers.
