Gracias a las visitas que he tenido, he podido ir 9 días seguidos a NYC. Los visitantes vienen con ilusión por ver lo nuevo, algo que necesitas de recargar de tanto en tanto. También traen listas de cosas especiales que ver (como en este caso, mi prima Mónica con su lista manuscrita de cosas que ver y hacer, que la top model Eugenia Silva le había pasado a unas amigas que compartieron asiento de avión con Mónica).

También traen suerte, que es eso que te permite descubrir un restaurante con azotea superchulo, una noche, perdido en medio de los muelles de Brooklyn, con las mejores vistas de Manhattan de noche que nadie pueda imaginar. ¡Y a un precio razonable! (vendo la información, jeje).

Por lo demás, siempre es un placer explicar cosas que has descubierto tú. Contar historias. Sorprenderte con una película de Ridley Scott justo al salir de un vietnamita de moda. Mezclarte con los italianos en su San Gennaro. Compartir desayunos caseros estupendos. Sonreír. Besar. Tocar.

Me han traido embutido y aceite de oliva. El otro día descubrimos en Zeytuna que aquí es como el oro. A 30 dólares los 400 gramos. No sé cómo logró pasar la aduana (siempre poned lo valioso en la maleta de la chica).

I won a Yahoo Music contest, and I won a trip to London to see GOLDFRAPP, a local indie pop music that’s cracking in the city. It is being great, the city is really promising, and it goes much farer than I previewed before. A thousand of tastes, from India to Brazil, and a thousand of races, mixing together peacefully, in a real cosmopolitan environment, made me feel surprising sensations. I didn’t forget a daylight activity, the British Museum, nor the best club on the world, FABRIC, this night. Regards!

Apart from the City of the Lights, the Atlantic coast has impressive XVIth century cities, like La Rochelle, Rennes, Nantes, the Bretagne, and the whole Normandie. The Southern coast is full mediterranean, beautiful; and the Alps have a lot of good sky resorts and great views.

In the inner France you can find great Maisons, good wines, traditions, and those boring things that many people appreciate. :)

It’s the most European of the US cities, Boston apart: you can walk throughout the city, discovering each district and the liberal bubble all the city is. Thousands of fine restaurants, beautiful sightseeings, and much more is expecting you in the city.

Avoid the touristic part in the harbor of the city.

It’s the hollywood favorite city. But you will be bored after two days in the town: not great things to see, and everything quite “as-you-expect”.

I didn’t taste the clubbing life (some people says this is the best point of the city), but for the typical short trip, a waste of time (and really expensive!).

12 Million of Guatemalans; 23 recognized languages, apart from Spanish; Rainforest, beaches, mountains, volcanoes, lakes, colonial cities, forgotten ruins, disappeared civilizations, political unrest, coups d’etat, poverty and wealth, ... so many things for a country with the size of Belgium..

From the jungle to the highlands in the Andes, to the deserts in the coast, this country offers whatever you can be looking for (people, cultures, trekking, social unrest, paradises…)

Beautiful, active, plenty of cultural and leisure life, with good beaches, magnific sightseeings, warm people, good cuisine, fine arts…

I am from Barcelona (SP), a much more beautiful city than Madrid (apparently gray), but I discovered the Madrileño people, the most active nightlife in Europe 24/7, the warm daylight of cultural events and ‘terrazas’. Quality of life is a good definition of this city.

Madrileños know how to live with comfort.
