Patones: the mysterious people of Madrid and lost

He was born there a lost kingdom. A kingdom of herders and farmers. A kingdom of shadows. They say that centuries later it was the only place in the Iberian Peninsula which was not conquered by Napoleon's troops. It was not because they did not find.

Berlin Victory Monument

Berlin: Crazy Nights, free sex and nudity

Another old abandoned factory, divine atmosphere and modern, in which the eccentricity mark the gateway. If you get the picture or the dress you wear is not suitable you have to forget to enter (classism liberal things that comes to luxury price tickets).

The false mythical lone traveler

Many returned days or months later with a veil in the stomach, disappointed to discover that they are not what they thought. Not bad, not think that's failing in the mirror; because without going to return had always lived while they were still going off. One must be very brave to dare to lose.

Liwonde: the laughter of hyenas and canoe safari

And when we decided to go to sleep came the sound of hyenas. Their cry is singular, acute, as if floating in the air and never leave. Overwhelms and fascinates sleep listening to his wild and menacing laughter. Camping in the African Parks has a point of contact with the very special nature, as if to touch the beasts with their ears

University of Coimbra

University of Coimbra

Coimbra: the walls of letters

The University is like if you observe any, with the city at the foot, to warn residents that are here one after the run. Then, among its narrow streets and steep, the city speaks in its walls filled with messages of rebellion, the default of thinking before he decided to be.
