HIDDEN GEMS 19 by Silvia Díaz de Alda Sans https://padlet.com/sdiazde/hiddenspots Off the beaten path or just beautiful spots which nobody knows about. en-us 2019-04-02 10:56:14 UTC 2023-02-08 17:56:32 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Manbag.png Fairy Glen, Isle of Skye Scotland sdiazde https://padlet.com/sdiazde/hiddenspots/wish/347557347 The Isle of Skye, on the west coast of Scotland, has volcanic origins. Its singular geology has created landscapes which are very different from the rest of Scotland.
The Fairy Glens are basalt hills with unusual patterns, which give the landscape a magical feeling.
As I was walking, I thought I was going to encounter a hobbit any minute. With its luscious green views, the Fairy Glens are a spot not to be missed if you ever travel to Skye.]]> 2019-04-02 11:03:37 UTC https://padlet.com/sdiazde/hiddenspots/wish/347557347 Benasque Harbour https://padlet.com/sdiazde/hiddenspots/wish/349441014 This beautiful place is called “Port de Benasc”. It is the border between Spain and France. It was used as a path to cross both countries for merchants, smugglers, army or refugees. 

I love Pyrenees and this part is my favorite even though I almost didn’t watch it. Before you get there, there are two ponds and I thought that the excursion was finished (I was really tired). I realized that people kept walking so I decided to continue the path… and that’s what I saw. 

It is the perfect example that you don’t have to go very far to enjoy such a gorgeous landscape. 

Xènia.

You have to cross "El Portillon" and when you're in Bagnères de Louchon, take the road to Val de Louron. There, you'll find a small valley with a lake, some boats to hire, you can go hicking, skiing, paragliding... 
Then, when you're tired, you can get relaxed in Balnéa before going back home with the feeling     that you've been in paradise.

Perhaps being near LittleItaly was a place where Al Pacino, Robert de Niro or Malon Brandon ate when they were shooting a italian mafia's movie in New York... That kind of doubts where on my mind in Katz, the best Pastrami Sandwich on New York. Don't pass through East Side without entering, don't miss it! 
As you will notice, you have already leaved Little Italy for some blocks, but Katz restaurant still has that Italian style that embraced most 80's american movies. The service, the objects hanging on the walls, and the food were fantastic.

This tinny church, in which sometimes has taken place art performances like music concerts and poetry readings, for me it means the end of a nice walk from Tírvia through which I find a very nice source of inspiration and lovely calm.

 In this place you can walk through the attractive streets,
eat the typical dishes of Colombia , share terraces with the people of the town and try the peculiar coffee.

You will only find decorations like these in Guatapé and, when the sun is shining, we can't think of a more colourful town and special place anywhere!

Although it is partially destroyed you can reach the top where there is the eloquence stone. By kissing it you can become more eloquent. It is a bit tricky because, as it is shown in the image, there is a hole between the stone and the floor. Because of this you have to put yourself in a peculiar posture to reach and kiss the stone.
