On the Road Again

On the Road Again "We travel not to escape life, but for life not to escape us." So how to start and do not sound like every other million and second blog about travelling?

Hardly, right :-)? We would like to write about all our travels, near or far, long or just next door. But, wait a bit, who are we, actually? Let us introduce ourselves – Monika & Michal, two crazy travelling persons, from Prague, Czech Republic, and last but not least, husband and wife by now. Hopefully it will be sometimes funny, sometimes interesting, sometimes annoying, but never ever boring. W

e’ll always aim for our uncensored opinions and try to write about what we saw, tasted, felt and heard ourselves. All photo’s and videos on this page will be always taken by us.

We celebrated our 10 years anniversary this year. It was my turn to organise it, so I prepared a surprise trip for Michal. He only knew to take the days off and received packing instructions a few days before. We arrived at the airport and, armed with headphones and magazine, he had no clue where we are off to. Once we boarded the KLM aircraft he was sure he got it....

Taking turns riding our bike and driving, we covered the distance from Toledo through France and Germany back home to Prague in four days. We embraced the last chance of swimming in the sea on this adventure near Capbreton, enjoyed French castle country along the Loire river in Tours and Blois and experienced the echte German countryside beer, schnapps un quest hotel in Kaiserlautern, before pacing through Germany to get home....

After four months touring northern Spain and Portugal, it was finally the time to set sail in the direction of home, with a bit of sadness. We flew back from Azores to Lisbon, collected our car from the valet parking company and got to the storage unit were we left our bikes. It was midnight, nobody around, and our access code didn't work....

Terceira, another Azorian island we have visited, is different from the others again. When approaching by plane, you can see little fields of all shades of green, covering the whole island, even the slopes of little cones of volcanoes. It is very photogenic. Terceira also has its UNESCO listing, but it is, against all expectations, architectural. We only spent two nights here, so we must return and explore more....

Every island of the Azores is different. An interesting fact about Pico is that it is famous for its wine-growing between lava stones—yes, stones, not soil. And, contrary to our expectations, the wine is actually very good. The vineyards are part of the UNESCO world heritage. Pico is also home to the highest mountain of Portugal, called (surprisingly) Pico. If you can focus on its peak, you are lucky because clouds usually cover it....

In the first post about Sao Miguel, I mentioned some of the places we found interesting in the towns and villages of the island. In this post, I want to talk about its natural wonders. Let's dive into hot springs, hike trails to waterfalls and lakes and enjoy the calming effects nature could have on one's soul....

From Galicia, our journey took us to Portugal. Since we travelled quite a lot in the North of Portugal already, we just drove by and spent a few days in the area around Alcobaça. There is so much to do, so many different options. A UNESCO monastery, a world famous surfing beach, a medieval town with full ramparts, a dinosaur site, and of course a beach with water calm enough for swimming....

Videa

Největší budova ve Španělsku. Není ani v Madridu, ani v Barceloně. Nachází se na předměstí Gijónu v provincii Asturias. Má přes 270,000 metrů čtverečních a to je opravdu hodně! Nicméně, moc se o ní neví a radši ani nemluví. Proč? Vznikla na konci 40. a začátku 50. let minulého století. Bylo to za režimu generála Franca a byla to výkladní skříň falangistů, strany španělských fašistů. Pro většinu nynějších Španělů má tedy stále dost negativní konotaci. Původní záměr byl, že bude sloužit jako sirotčinec pro děti horníků, kteří zahynuli v častých důlních neštěstích. Těžba uhlí byla tehdy hlavní pilíř španělské ekonomiky a většina dolů byla a je stále tady v Asturias. Nicméně po dostavbě se na to, jak už to tak bývá, nějak zapomnělo a komplex začal fungovat jako Universitat de Laboral, tj něco jako univerzita pracujícího lidu :-). Po několik desetiletí byl potom celý komplex prázdný a chátral. V dnešní době je velmi složité najít nějaké smysluplné využití takového kolosu jedním subjektem. Naštěstí se to v poslední době částečně povedlo a v sídlí tu několik různých univezit , jiných škol, divadlo a také zajímavá galerie moderního umění. Jako turista si můžete celý komplex včetně galerie projít úplně zdarma a rozhodně to stojí za to. Ke komplexu také patří 129 metrů vysoká věž, na kterou se dá jít za 2.50 EUR většinou jednku denně. Je z ní nádherný výhled na celý Gijón, okolní hory a oceán.
