The Best Time to Visit Athens

fullmooon — Thu, 30 Jun 2011 11:45:15 +0000

Athens is a wonderful city with history, culture and entertainment. The best time to visit really all depends on you. If you like crowds, warm and hot weather, a vibrant night life and so on; you should go in the summer months (June to August). This is the time of year where children, teens and adults are out of school or college and those who work as well. In Europe the summer months are a guaranteed two week vacation so you will see plenty of tourists from that area. If you prefer quiet and less crowded the rest of the year is your best choice, except for holidays of course. Keep in mind that the winter months start from about November until February. If you don’t want to be on vacation with winds, rain and cold you might want to opt out of those months. You just need to choose your dates and book the best hotel in Athens. Have fun

Food and traditions in Madrid

The Spanish cuisine was acquired from various cultural influences that include the Roman, Jewish and Arab traditions. At the same time every region, town and city adapted their unique spin, like it happens in most countries. Something is added, something taken away from and so on. You can be sure that most foods will at one point or another include potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, beans and ham. In Madrid one traditional and favored food includes the “jamon”, ham from the Iberian pig. This type of ham is darker and with a more distinct flavour than usual ham. The second food to try that is typical of this area is the bull’s tail. In addition to these you will have the chance to taste local dishes when you go out for drinks. In Madrid when you order drinks at a bar they will bring you “tapas” too. “Tapas” are snack foods that will include local preferred dishes. Something sweet that is also unique to Madrid is churros with hot chocolate. This is a must try and the oldest and most renowned place to go for this is the Chocolaterìa San Ginés.
