What's your best type of holiday? by Isabel Barreiro https://padlet.com/iquiben/ladzlkxa9zc2ws5 Write a short description of your ideal holidays en-us 2020-12-09 18:46:09 UTC 2023-02-10 23:27:11 UTC hello@padlet.com A CITY BREAK by Isabel iquiben https://padlet.com/iquiben/ladzlkxa9zc2ws5/wish/1003571320 My favourite type of holiday is a three- or- four- day city break in Europe. I love discovering the place and sightseeing by myself. I don't like package holidays, but sometimes, I go on a guided local tour to know more about the history of the city. 
What I like most is looking for quiet restaurants far from the centre to taste real local food.
I generally explore lively street and food markets but I hardly ever enjoy nightlife because at the end of the day I'm exhausted!
I think this type of holiday is exciting and entertaining because you always learn something new. However, you need a lot of energy because sightseeing is tiring and quite often the landmarks are crowded.

I went to Marrakesh to spend the Christmas holidays. It was an amazing experience. I stayed in a typical bed and breakfast called riad in the middle of the Medina. The atmosphere there was completely different from a town in Spain. The streets were crowded, there was a lot of chaotic traffic and noises, smells. I particularly loved the colours. The locals were really kind, although sometimes it was a bit stressful because they were trying to sell you something all the time.
I also went on a trip to the Atlas mountains where I could see parts of the dessert and little villages.
If you want to experience something different I recommend you to visit Marrakesh!]]> 2020-12-28 13:22:22 UTC https://padlet.com/iquiben/ladzlkxa9zc2ws5/wish/1044100302 Five days in London https://padlet.com/iquiben/ladzlkxa9zc2ws5/wish/1048737905 For Christmas last year I went  to London with two friends . We took a flight from Porto to Gartwick airport on January 1st.
The first day  we bought the London Pass, a card wich we could enter all the monuments for free for three days , the tourist bus and a boat trip on the river Thames .
Everyday we  chose a different route on the subway to see more  places.
It was very cold but it didn't rain . Our great surprise was when it was dark at four in the afternoon and it was night at five .
We visited  the main monuments of the city , we took a lot of photos  and we walked through Parliamente Square, Picadilly, Trafalgar Square... we went into some stores in Oxford Street and we bought souvenirs  at the Christmas  markets .
We saw wonderful views of the city from the London Eye  and The Shard.
We also had a lot of fun at Madame Thussaud or taking photos with different  snowmen  located near the river Thames.
As it was Christmas, the city was decorated with thousands of lights and giant  Christmas trees . In hyde Park we toured Wonderland Park and the big lake iluminated at night.
We live five intense days in London , we hope to return to this great city because there are many other things  we want to see.   Manuela Garrido. ]]> 2021-01-02 11:11:15 UTC https://padlet.com/iquiben/ladzlkxa9zc2ws5/wish/1048737905 India https://padlet.com/iquiben/ladzlkxa9zc2ws5/wish/1048895229 The best trip I've ever had on my all life was when I went to India. I spend 15 days in the north and 15 days in the south. Everything was fantastic but the best of all was the food. The food was delicious and really spicy. The fruit was tasty.
The physical condition of the cows made me very sad. They were very skinny, by contrast, the elephants and dromedaries were well cared for. What about the monkeys? They are really dangerous, smart and bad.

All streets were crowded, chaotic and  full of trash, but in the middle of that the people were stress-free...
The most amazing monument was the Taj Mahal. It's impossible to describe it in words. You have to see it and admire its great beauty. Another place that has struck me was Varanasi and its river Ganges. It is really true all that is told about the river.
So, if you are the kind of person who likes strong contrast. Your next destination should be India.

I travelled whit my family to India for 12 days. The round trip Madrid- New Delhi by plane was great: The boarding was fast  there was no turbulence, no noise, confortable seats, the hostesses were friendly and the food was tasty.
In India we visited Agra, the Taj Mahal, which is a beautiful place. But the bad thing was the hotel: poor quality and  the showers were broken; the next day we changed hotel.
In Jaipur and New Delhi we had a great holladas, we did many things: sightseeing, cultural activities, souvenirs hunting, the city of monkey, we ride an elephant, eating out etc.
The  hotel was luxury and we had a tour guide, Ali, throughout the stay.
It was an unforgettable experience.

I go to Portonovo, Sanxenxo every year with my family but the last year we didn´t go. It was a relaxing experience. We stayed in an apartment next to the beach. We went to the beach the most part of the time but also we went shopping, did sightseeing and we did water sports.
Portonovo is on the coast of Galicia and the weather is hot but sometimes it rains. On a rain day we went to a Santiago de Compostela to visit the Cathedral, Another day we went to Vigo and we went shopping.
I loved arriving from being all afternoon at the beach and going for a swim in the pool as it got dark.]]> 2021-01-03 16:55:07 UTC https://padlet.com/iquiben/ladzlkxa9zc2ws5/wish/1050047005 USA https://padlet.com/iquiben/ladzlkxa9zc2ws5/wish/1050158041 My last trip was ten months ago. I visited a friend in California with two more friends more.
We flew from Barcelona to Los Angeles. Our friend was waiting for us at the airport. In that moment we started our adventure. It was an amazing road trip for ten days.
We were in four states. We began visiting Sequoia and Death Valley National Park in California, then we visited Nevada with the Sin city, Las Vegas, Utah and Arizona with the amazing Grand Canyon and again, California, in the city of San Diego, with their its beaches to surf.
The last days we were in LA but we couldn't visit the city because the state of alarm began. Our flight was canceled, but finally, we arrived at home one day later.
Fátima.

It was a trip with many hours of performances with different groups from different places. We share the stage with Greeks, Scots and people from Madrid .
There was no time for sightseeing during the day, so at night we toured the old part of the city to get to know it.
It was a very fun trip in which we had a small mishap, one day, when we wanted to close the door of the room we were left with the handlebar in hand. It took them 2 days to fix the door.
I am looking forward to travelling as before.

I went to Nápoles in Italy to spend a few days with my friends.
We decided to visit Napoles, because there was the Pompeii ruins, and I a friend told me that it was the best place to eat Pizza.
It was the best experience of my life, because I saw many incredible places that I had never seen before.
The best part of the trip was the sightseeing, because every time I saw any monument or building I would take photos like crazy and I came to talk to the people  there to ask them the story behind the monuments. It was so crazy
If you want a crazy experience, with incredible views and magnificent food, Italy is your destination.
It was an amazing trip for me, and I would like to repeat it some days.

So, my friends and I once  decided to travel to Budapest.
I'd never been in Hungary before, we didn't know a lot of things about this place and we went to discover it.
This place has a surprise in its capital, because they are two cities separeted by the river Danubio that  are Buda and Pest. Both are communicated by many bridges to cross from one to the other.
While you walk in its streets you can see monuments of different cultures or religions, some of them are remembers of jewish who lived there.
This city has many awesome buildings and its famous architecture that is beautiful.
When you are in the centre of the city there are a lot of markets and typical restaurants where you can taste the typical food. A lot of dishes take paprika and other hot spices.
It's a beatiful place and I love it.
I hope to go soon.

I've travelled to Berlín several times, sometimes for work and sometimes for family reasons. I usually book a room in the Turkish quarter, whose manager is Spanish. Berlín is a very flat city and you can walk from the hotel to the Unter der Linden in 20 minutes. From there, you can visit the most importants sightseeing sights.
In the evening, you can visit the Friedrischain quarter, with a lot of restaurants and cafes.
The boat trip along the Spree River is very interesting.
You can visit the autenthic Wall in Bernauer Strasse.
Berlin is a cheaper city than other cities in Europe and the public transport offer is enormous. Underground, tram, bus, elevated train and, of course, bicycles.

We went to  the Canary Islands Canarias Islands to spend the Easter holidays. It was an amazing trip. We decided to visit Tenerife because the children had never been there.
We stayed at a beautiful resort with swimming pool for six days. We had warm weather, it also rained a little, we couldn´t go swimming in the hotel's nice pool, because it wasn´t very hot. We also visited different towns and beaches.
On the second day we went hiking through the mountains of Teide Volcano, and the weather was very cold. We took many photos, we were there all day. We spent another day un the in a beautiful water park, the Siam Park where the children spent a magnificient day. Also did a great boat trip. I would like to repeat this trip.

I went when I was 17 years old with the whole class on the end of the course school trip.trip End of Course  e. We visited big cities, Rome, Florence, Venice, Pisa, Verona ..., and the place that I loved most was Venice at night. The illuminated San Marcos Square, a couple of violinists and a pianist playing on the terraces of the restaurants of the sides, with the Basilica of San Marcos in the background, is an image that I will always remember.
We saw many monuments, we knew some of their history/legend, but in a very short time, we had many places to go. That is why it is a place I want to return, camera in hand, and know its culture and architecture with more calm and time to appreciate the history, get into the backstreets and discover little non touristy corners corners no touristic that hide the essence of the local people of the city.
