Unit 5. Going places

Places that I like to visit.

ITENERARIES

1. - Tourist destination: Spain

The Spanish passion for living is deliciously contagious.

The best time to go: The ideal months to visit are May, June and September (plus April and October in the south).

The weather: The meseta and Ebro basin have a continental climate: scorching in summer, cold in winter and dry. Madrid regularly freezes in December, January and February and temperatures climb above 30°C (86F) in July and August (locals describe it as: nueve meses de invierno y tres de infierno - nine months of winter and three of hell).

Tourist activities and attractions:

Andalucía is a delicious feast for the eyes and a roaring banquet for the mind. Andalucía is perhaps the least European part of western Europe; but the region's heritage is Spanish as well as Muslim.Numerous festivals year-round allow Andalucians to indulge their love of colour, crowds, music, historical plays and general showing off.

1.-Night view of Plaza De San Francisco, Seville

2.- Rock climbers' paradise: El Chorro Gorge, central-southern Andalucia

Barcelona; here are plenty of opportunities for exercise in this healthy, sports-keen city. If you're a golfer, you'll be itching to play in Spain, one of the capitals of the game. The seafront is the best spot for jogging, walking, skating and blading.

Barcelona is bursting with pubs, hedonistic gay bars and frenetic clubs, and the whirr of live jazz, rock, flamenco and salsa is never far away. The calendar is crammed with holidays and festivals, and Barcelonins are usually buzzing with the anticipation of an upcoming event.

2.- Tourist destination : Margarita´s isle.

Despite the holiday crowds, 'isla de tourism' is a pear in the Caribbean.

Sunseekers and bargain hunters unite! Isla de Margarita has a bounty of beaches to bask in, and duty-free prices to make any shopper drool. Top that off with a nicely chilled Margarita cocktail and you could be in paradise.

The best time to go: Being a predominantly Catholic country, Venezuela celebrates Carnaval in February or March every year; if you want to experience maximum party action, head to Isla de Margarita. It's famous for its Carnaval festivities.

The weather; it’s renowned for its glorious weather, with bright sunny days all year, and balmy temperatures that hover, on average, between 25-28°C (77-82°F), cooled by evening breezes. It's dry most of the time, with brief rainy periods lasting from November to January, and July to August, when the rain falls mostly during the night.

Clothes to bring: shots, t- shirts, tennis, caps, others.

Tourist activities and attractions: visit: El Valle del Espíritu Santo. Playa El Agua.Playa Caribe.
