Valldemossa: amazing place and amazing people

Hi there?

How are you? Do you have so much to learn like me? Sometimes I want to covert oneself with a blanket and sleep only two weeks. Do you understand me, right? Returning to the subject  of this blog. Today I would like to write about a special place for me in Mallorca, that is Valldemossa. In this place I spend a lot of time with me Spanish friends. 

This amazing and small village is locket in the heart of the Sierra de Tramuntana, a distance of approximately 20 km from the capital of the Balearic Islands, Palma. The access to this mountain place is very easy, as it is communicated very, very well with many suburban lines. Thanks for this, travel to Valldemossa doesn’t last more than 30 min. This short journey characterized by amazing, breathtaking view.

The nightlife in Palma!

Hi there!

In the last post I  started to write about Palma de Mallorca and now it’s time to mention something about the nightlife in Palma. Anyone who is looking for a fun, dancing, good music or food should go to La Avenida de Gabriel Roca known as Paseo Maritimo, it is place where the clubs, bars and discothèques light up the night. The atmosphere in all place is unbelievable. A characteristic feature of this street is a multiculturalism, it means that you can find there every nationality: Spaniards, Germans, Poles, Frenchmen, Englishmen, etc. Even thought Palma isn’t a big city but I am sure that everyone will find something special for himself in this crazy town.

The most famous nightclub in Palma is Tito’s. It was established back in the 1950. What is surprising for everyone in Tito’s a fun glass elevator. This place is quite amazing!! I know what I say J

The second most famous nightclub is  Pacha. The club embodies two different spaces one Main Room and one Funcky Room. Thanks for this division everyone can choose a music.

Palma de Mallorca

Hellooo!!

How are you? I think that all of us returned to the gray reality. In Poland we say “Święta, święta i po świętach”. This sentence means that we are preparing a very long time for Christmas and then everything happens in one second, in a trice. This is the sad truth but on the other hand during this preparation we always spend a lot of time with the family . I love this time J It is so much fun! Okey, the time blissful laziness is over! We have a work to do :P

In this post I would like to write something about the capital of Mallorca, also the autonomous community of the Balearic, Palma. The history of this city is very complicated because as an island, Mallorca has been subject of a lot conquests and invasions throughout its history; the Arabs, the Roman, the Moors…Thanks for numerous invasions in the architecture of the city can be see multiculturalism. The most famous monuments of the city is a Gothic Catholic cathedral, The Cathedral of Santa María de Palma built 1229-1601. The tourists visiting Palma can not omit this amazing place.

The next famous monuments is a Royal Palace of La Almudaina. This marvelous place having been built as an Arabian Fort. Nowadays, it is a museum related to the history of the city and the royal family.

In my opinion, it is enough information for today. To be continued…

New Year’s Eve in Spain

Helllooo everyone!

So as we all know three days ago was New Year’s Eve. I know, this blog is about au pair but in this post I want to write about Spanish Old Year’s Day because, for me, everything  related to Spain is very important.

Like all other place in the word, “Nochevieja” whose “old night” is celebrated in Spain with a flourish  and frenzy. Most of the Spanish spend this time with their family members or with friends. Currently, among young people is a growing trend to celebrate “Nochevieja” in clubs or bars. But, one tradition isn’t changed i.e. the Twelve Grapes. All Spaniards eat twelve grapes, one by one, keep time with the clock as it strikes midnight.  What is the most important in this tradition all people believe that if you manage to eat all the grapes in time, you are in for a year of good luck. In Spain there is a one place that has a special link with the Twelve Grapes: the clock in Puerta del Sol Square in Madrid because this tradition started there in 1909.

Also exist other tradition very interesting i.e. the Red Underwear. A lot of Spaniards during New Year wearing red colored underwear. They believe that red is a symbol of prosperity and good luck.

Of course all this is accompanied by music, dancing, fireworks and New Year's greetings.
