         <description><![CDATA[<p>Here I am at the iconic Times Square in the Big Apple! This is a bustling commercial district renowned for its bright lights and vibrant energy. When I stood there and I looked around, I got the feeling that I had never seen anything like it and it was fascinating as well as a little overwhelming. This thriving landmark is characterized by its frenetic pace and relentless energy and hoards of people and vehicles meet at a congested corssroads. It is one of the busiest pedestrian areas in downtown Manhattan and offers an endless variety of theatres, stores and dining options. Definitely one of the major symbols of New York City. New York is worth visiting!</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Last year I visited Rome, one of the most ancient cities in Europe.</p><p>I wished to visit all the heritage that Romans left thousands of years ago, obviously, it was impossible to do it in four days, so I decided to visit the most famous monuments.</p><p>If we figure out about a landmark in Rome, the first image that will come to our mind is the Coliseum. I could not stop to imagine the vibrant ambience of those moments lived over there; you could breathe the history wherever you go.</p><p>This picture was taken from the top of Palatino Mountain, the views were stunning and you could envision how affluent the ancient Rome was. It seemed to be so compact and well-run; we cannot maintain the same nowadays, it is quite chaotic, really congested, extremely noisy and bustling everywhere but in spite of all this madness, I fell in love with the city.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Just a year ago we visited Porto, a city that I loved. It is a city with great charm, declared a World Heritage Site. Porto is situated on both banks of the river Douro, where some of the famous port wine cellars can be found. Historically, the city has been the richest in Portugal, with beautiful architecture and a spectacular use of tiles, with stunning buildings and facades. </p><p>In some places, it feels as if time has stopped, as it is a city to be savored slowly. Porto truly has a unique atmosphere. It is a calm, melancholic, magical, and cultured city that captivates the heart. Porto also could seems decrepit in some areas, extremley humid, and has an abandoned appearance but it is a part of its unique character</p><p> I highly recommend it and furthermore,  it is an experience that won't break the bank!</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Madrid is one of my favourite cities. It is a vibrant and cosmopolitan city renowned for its rich history, culture and lively atmosphere. When I visited Madrid 5 years ago I really enjoyed its traditional dishes , its welcoming people and its bustling nightlife. In this picture I was visiting the stunning landmark La Puerta de Alcalá. I loved it! On the other hand, there was heavy traffic and it was overcrowded due to the fact that there were a lot of tourists. What I liked most apart from the monuments was the city center. It offers a mix of shopping and entertainment, like theatres and art. So I would highly recommend to visit Madrid. For me it is the timeless city. </p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>In my humble opinion, Dublin has all the necessary features to fall in love with.</p><p><br/></p><p>Dublin is a bustling, vibrant and cosmopolitan city, a magical place to visit with diverse communities that contribute to its lively and dynamic atmosphere. In fact, it is considered the third most picturesque and delightful city around the world according to recent research.</p><p>Personally, I was crazy about its spotless green spaces. There were many huge parks where people not only went there to have breaks from work but they also made their own community. Usually, it was packed and obviously, it was overcrowded on sunny days, however you could always find both ways, peace and quiet or the other way around. Definitely, Dublin is not a stressful city, it maintains an easy-going vibe, instead. The photo was taken in Stephens Green, a historical park and garden located in the town center.</p><p>In addition, if you ask me about a landmark in Dublin I would say Temple Bar, as you see on the picture it has an astonishing facade, as well as is inside. It's one of the most well known places where any tourist should visit and walk around in its emblematic and magical streets. Temple Bar is a traditional pub which offers a good showcase of Irish culture and enjoys Dublin's nightlife full of lively music, grabbing the most popular beer of this place, Guinness. Honestly, I was not mad about this beer but Temple Bar makes you love even what you dislike. On top of that, it's possible to admire street performances and local festivals while someone takes a walk or sightseeing which makes every moment memorable.&nbsp;</p><p>Certainly, this city is an amazing spot to visit.&nbsp; 🙂</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Over the past two years, I have been working commercially managing the opening of new insurance offices across all the Canary Islands. My role was to initiate and oversee the company's expansion, ensuring each office met its commercial and operational objectives. In this process, we worked to preserve the heritage of the islands while allowing the business to flourish and soar in a competitive market. I identified strategic locations for the offices, considering the settlement and habitat of each area.</p><p>However, some run-down areas in the islands need attention; a lot of buildings should be condemned and rebuilt to revitalize these compact spaces. This would not only improve the environment but also ensure the long-term success of the business. By striking a balance between development and preserving the natural beauty, we can create sustainable growth while benefiting from the islands' potential.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Last year I visited the city of Córdoba in Andalucia and I think it´s a really beautiful city with plenty of historical value and monuments. I was fascinated with the "Mezquita de Córdoba" which is an Islamic mosque that was converted into a Christian cathedral in the 13th century. I also walked throug the Roman Bridge that it a very touristic place in Córdoba. I went sightseeing throug the town and I loved the hustle and bustle because it´s a lively  city. I would recommend visiting it if you love the ancient monument and culture, it´s really worth it.</p>]]></description>
