Walking in... León, Spain: the Bethlehem

Walking in… Burgos, Spain: for Xmas

Burgos is a precious city at the north of Spain. Curro´s family lives there, so we go there time to time and spend some time during Xmas and/or New Year Eve as well.

This time we went for Xmas and had a walk at the old part of the city, which is my favorite one.

Here our walk with day light:





And here with the magic of the night lights:





Burgos is famous due it´s cathedral. I like the whole city, actually I don´t understand why it is not more promoted as touristic place. I invite you to visit it!

Walking in… Dortmund, Germany: Xmas Market.

Dortmund just continues wondering me!

I had the chance of meeting the Xmas Market in Dortmund. It´s a different concept of the ones I knew before, because instead of being placed in one specific square or a determinate space for it, it is actually all over the city center, mixed with the normal stores, churches and pedestrian streets. So, it becomes in some kind of the whole city center market! :D

I was also hallucinating with the things they sell… a lot of wood handcrafts, ceramic, candles, interesting xma´s lights, glass bombs hand painted… And if we talk about food… mmmmm!!! Great healthy options with fruits and vegetables, a lot of great bread (I love German bread!) :D and also street places for drinking something… but all, and I mean ALL with quite great taste!

You can give a look to it here:
