8 / 10 puntosEsperienza Comenius a Vilanova i la Geltrù
A dire la verità sono stato assegnato come assistente Comenius ad una scuola situata in un paese chiamato Cubelles, ma ho deciso di cercare casa a Vilanova i la Geltrù, che si trova a soli 5 kilometri. Posso dire che è stata la decisione giusta: Vilanova i la Geltrù...

9 / 10 puntosPranzo domenicale al Palau Blaugrana
Può esserci qualcosa di più desiderabile di una deliziosa, tiepida e soleggiata domenica di sole in dicembre? Sono assai tentato di rispondere di no, ma dopo essermi goduto una partita all'ora di pranzo al Palau Blaugrana, apprezzando lo spettacolo offerto da una...

7 / 10 puntosA trip to Lleida
In my mind, Lleida was only associated, until last week, to the final destination of the train which usually brings me to work early in the morning. A place which was normally pointed at as a negative example as far as weather was concerned. "Estamos afortunados porque...

8 / 10 puntosBarcelona: The Seaside Area
In my opinion, the only feature missing in Barcelona is a spectacular river flowing through the city. Although, the Mediterranean sea partially makes up for it, enlivening the city with a series of spectacular sights which may be enjoyed either from the Montjuich hill...

9 / 10 puntosIn the heart of Barcelona (5)
Resuming our tour from Plaza de Sant Just, we will have to walk back towards Plaza de Sant Jaume, which we had left just a few minutes before. After a few steps along the narrow Carrer de la Dagueria, then, we will turn left into the large and crowded Carrer de Jaume I,...

7 / 10 puntosCycling in the Natural Park of Olerdola
After dealing with the parks of Garraf and Foix, the Parc Natural d'Olerdola was the only natural area missing of the three ones easily accessible from Vilanova i la Geltrù. If Parc del Foix could boast the presence of an ancient castle and a fine medieval hamlet...

9 / 10 puntosIn the heart of Barcelona (4)
When I wrote that the previous tale ended in Plaza de La Seu, actually I was not completely in the right. Indeed, though from the end of Carrer de la Palla the Cathedral was already in sight, I decided to avoid it for the moment. Once crossed Plaza Nova, I turned...

8 / 10 puntosCycling in the Natural Park of Foix
In a recent entry, I have already dealt with the superb geographical position of Vilanova i la Geltrù, which besides being blessed by the Mediterranean sea is located within 15 kilometres of three of the 12 Natural Parks of the Barcelona province. The nearest and most...

8 / 10 puntosCycling in the Natural Park of Garraf
When asked about the geographical features of Vilanova i la Geltrù and its surroundings, I usually say that the town has the immense advantage of enjoying the best of two worlds. Indeed, besides being placed on the sea, the verdant hills characterizing the Catalan...

9 / 10 puntosIn the heart of Barcelona (3)
Leaving El Raval on the way to the Rambla, it is not possible to miss the most remarkable landmark of the district, as well as one of the very few Modernist masterpieces located in the Ciutat Vella (the oldest part of Barcelona). Situated just a few metres from the...

8 / 10 puntosExperience in Ferrara, Italy by Emanuele
What is it like to live in Ferrara? Would you recommend it? What is the city like? In my opinion (trying to be as impartial as possible) Ferrara is a really nice place to live. The living standards are probably higher than the average of Italian cities: the traffic is...

9 / 10 puntosIn the heart of Barcelona (2)
Apart from being a symbolic place for the Catalan movement for independence, Plaza de Catalunya is one of the best places to start a visit to the city centre. Still enthusiastic about what I had just seen in Passeig de Gracia, I crossed the square heading for one of the...

8 / 10 puntosCycling tour of Montserrat
A strange range of mountains, which shape resembles that of a series of funny pinnacles is probably the first thing you spot when flying to Barcelona and preparing for landing. As soon as I saw them, I was so fascinated that I decided that I could not help but visiting...

8 / 10 puntosRoman antiquities in Tarragona (2)
I would advise you to start your tour around the circus by going up the staircase, reserving in this way the best part for the end. The inside of the great tower of the Pretori, indeed, does not offer elements of exceptional interest except from a couple of fine...

8 / 10 puntosRoman antiquities in Tarragona (1)
One could think that Tarragona could offer nothing interesting to somebody coming from Italy and quite accustomed to Roman archeological ruins. Well, I can assure you that, despite having seen much about it in Rome and in the rest of Italy (just to mention one of them,...

7 / 10 puntosThe temple of Cava
As for specialties I have not taken too much delight in these three months, but it looks as if in the last few days I am catching up with what I had missed. After pintxos and xurros, indeed, today the turn of cava has come. For those to whom the name does not ring a...

It is always a pleasant experience to go around in Christmas time, even more if you are seeing for the first time a town in its special Christmas dress. That is why, despite the typical frenzy and lack of time which usually characterise our life in these days, I took...

On the train which was taking me from Vilanova to Barcelona (just a 40 minutes journey) for my first visit to this amazing city, I was recalling all the things my friends and acquaintances had told me before leaving. Apart for the typical "Are you going to stay near...

Having already visited most of the famous landmarks in Barcelona, I opted for spending a nice December day strolling around on the Montjuich hill. Actually I had planned to visit two of the best museum of the city, the National Museum of Catalan Art (MNAC) and the Mirò...

Why did you choose to go to Vilanova I La Geltru, Spain? Actually as a Comenius assistant I was assigned to a school in a village called Cubelles, but I decided to find a place to live in Vilanova, which is only 5 kilometres far. I may say it was the right decision:...
