Rome, Italy: a buzzing, bustling, beautiful city

Rome, Italy…The poison of travel seems fresh as the dew and the thirsty soul drinks it longing; after a fleeting intoxication, the drinker makes sick and a slow death dies.  The scene is commonplace.  Lime-green a woman slices over to the cafe, all glass, all reflection as a red sun burns down to the horizon.
Colosseum: Your heart will feel contentment of finding it and your soul renovated when seeing it.  This massive amphitheatre could seat 50,000 and was the venue for the gory gladiator and wild animal fights so loved by the Romans. It has no centre, no significance, or, if any, one beyond our ken.  He passed hours in their company, how much he loved those birds and their soft ways he couldn’t even say. Piazza Navona: The focal points of this elegant piazza are the three fountains, of which Bernini’s Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi is the most extravagant.

Exploring Italy: Verona

Verona. The traveler doesn’t know if fruit of the chance or of the instinct, in many bars it can perceive presences, at least, curious. Before sitting down to a table, it travels with the look the corners, the windows or the decoration, looking for in that place, almost without thinking it, some reference that he makes it family, recognizable. Without doubts that the bars of Verona are those that more resonances deposit in their senses. In March I visited Verona invited by the local government. I visited a trendy movie house shows art films and fashionable retro classics with cheap tickets. The opportunities for exploring places are unlimited, the most pleasant area to explore on foot is the little town of Mantua. Good news for the tourists: the airfares are cheap in a low cost airlines. If you want to visit Verona, the best flights are provided by Ryanair and Meridiana.

Balearic Islands : the fantastic and hot Ibiza
