Guess de city

The city I am talking about is one of those which were nominated  Human Heritage. This icy small Castilian city is the one closest to heaven, therefore it common to remember it as a snow-covered city.

Surrounding its old quarter there are huge medieval grey stone walls, which is what this city is renowned for.

During your stay there, you should taste its tasty t-bone steak and its delicious little egg cakes which take its name from a famous Saint who was born there.

Walls, palaces, temples and monasteries could help you to follow a thematic route but what I really recommend is a relaxing walk along the cobbled streets of this austere peaceful city getting away from it all and trying to discover this special spirit which will make you return to it.

Come on, it is very easy!

GUESS THE CITY

Spain has an enormous diversity in its coastal areas. On one of these coasts, there’s a medium sized city which has very important port facilities and a long history related to fishing.

Although there’s generally cold, humid and rainy weather, you can find many things to do, visit and enjoy in this city. It has very different neighbourhoods: new-built areas, unspoilt streets, old ones,… and some beautiful sandy beaches (but the water is quite cold, so you have to be very courageous!).

About the places of interest to tourists, there’s one that is the most popular place in this city: it’s a charming, big, stone old building built in a little peninsula, and originally it was built for royal family holidays. Nowadays, it’s a place where you can attend some summer courses organized by one Spanish international university. This peninsula also has a nice park to walk around.

In addition, if you love eating, you won’t be dissapointed by its delicious gastronomy, which offers a unique variety of seafood.

Finally, this city is nowadays a candidate to be the European Capital of Culture in 2016.

If you haven’t visited this city yet, I recommend it to you! You’ll like it!

GUESS THE SAYING

Helena and Alberto have done a great job explaining their saying. Don’t miss the end, a smile is guaranteed!

“Guess the City”

If there is a magic and cultural place in Spain
it is X, where you can find a medium sized city
which  for centuries grew around a
beautiful,rustic  green stone Cathedral at the

top of a hill.
At the same time, you should taste its
absolutely delicious, fresh, seafood with
typical white wines like G., R. even A. and
its tasty almond cake with a shot of one
white “spiritual” drink.
If you visit  it next year you will find one of the
most toured cities in Europe where it  is
possible to recover your lost, inner peace if
you are a  believer.
But in this city there is  rainy, cold, grey,
oceanic weather which is wonderful for me
because X without rain is not the same city.
Good luck, it´s extremely easy!

GUESS THE CITY

The first time I visited this city ,I was very excited and moved about the idea of staying several days in this magical old city in the south of Spain. The city is famous for its Arab past. In its streets you feel as if you were in an arab country, with stalls plenty of rich,aromatic spices, especially, tea. But the most famous attraction of this city is and old castle located at the top of a hill. This breath-taking ,majestic amazing building, was the place where arab sultans lived in 13th century. An old saying shows how special, pretty and spectacular this city is : “give something to the poor blind man, because there´s nothing crueler in life than to be blind in…. (this city) In my opinion is one of the most beautiful cities in Sapin.

What city I´m talking about? Simple, isn´t true?
