The castle in Hunedoara

Information and one of the castle's legends here.

Watching

I wonder how the less fortunate animals in town can cope with these freezing days and nights.

variations

I also have the same picture, although a bit different. it's a variation and I also have lots of this view because, remember is one of my favourite places in Ávila.
Mine is a postcard and yours is to be framed. They all belong to a collection with a nice history.
Do you remember the small newsagent's_bookshop in el Grande? The owner was a great photographer and somebody who loved Ávila very much. He died in August after a long disease and trials for a cancer. His kids gathered all his photos and published them as postcards and posters in a last homage to their father.
I found it touching and loving. A real love story!

Thank you

I accidentally found this in my computer, while searching for a photo.

Thank you!

Castles- Lisbon and surroundings

contrasts

A few days ago, when we were walking to school, I saw this van parked outside. It had been raining during the night, there was a shy morning light and there was a sheet of leaves along the street. Students were coming little by little with sleepy steps. However, nobody or nothing could steal the feeling of freedom the van added. The sea scene, the small boat on the top were so inviting that I couldn't prevent from stopping and having a look. It was just an ephemeral moment but it made me start the day in a different way.
Liberty, obligation, outdoors, indoors.

Invitation to Transylvania

This is said to be the most beautiful movie ever made about Romania and it depicts one of the areas I love most in this country.
I would be honoured if you took the time for this virtual visit.
And please remember you are always welcome for a real one!

We have legends, too. :)
And bears.

A loan

Someone said this today, and even if this idea is by no means new, it's good to hear it expressed from time to time.
"We should see our country as it is today not as a heritage from our ancestors, but as a loan from our children."

Remember Brasov?

Postcard

A place for a book and a glass of wine, on a quiet street, what could one wish for more? Just for the time to stop there. Unfortunately, I had none.
Greetings from Brussels.

new trade

Balance, sustainability are the foundations of this public exchange market. No money in between, just a shake of hands. Change the world in an alternative way! But it is much more than this, it means humanizing trade, solidarity, sharing resources, understanding.
It is the first time this kind of events is held in Ávila, perhaps crisis is making us see the world in a different way.
I only had a look in the morning and it was very early for the market to be evaluated. I think the idea is good, although the organization was a bit chaotic. Perhaps the second edition will be better.

Good luck!

Off to new adventures.
Good luck and good-bye!

Celtic wish stone

medieval sounds in Ávila.

Walking among the different medieval works allows you understand better the way life could have been.



Ancient instruments in exhibition, classical music played by amateur musicians. In this case, it's not medievla music but from the Rennaissance.




I'm not sure this was a common scene for medieval times in Ávila, but even so, markets would probably have had something like it.
