Margarita

Margarita is one of my favorite places, it´s a beautiful island located southeast of the Caribbean Sea, northeast of Venezuela, north of the Araya peninsula of Sucre state, with a population close to 98.000 people. This island is surrounded by beaches; these beaches are characterized by their great beauty and quality, both sand and water. Among the beaches to visit on Isla Margarita there are all kinds of beaches, with waves and without waves, with cold and more temperate water, where you can do water sports such as surfing, scuba diving, windsurfing and kite surfing. But there are also monuments such as the Church of the Valley, the Castle of the Assumption or the fort of Juangriego. There are also parks like Parque el Agua, Laberinto tropical, Diverland. You can take a tour of the mountains, a horseback excursion in Cabatucan on the Macanao Peninsula, or visit the national park of La Restinga, where you can take a boat ride through the mangroves. If I were you, I would go to Margarita soon, because it has something that catches you, the people are friendly, with a great tourist attraction, although right now it isn´t a good time to go, because of the situation in the country.

Mexico, land of colours

I have always wanted to visit Mexico because it is one of the most popular destinations in the world and it looks attractive to me.

Mexico is in Centre America and it is best known for its green landscapes and its magnificient ancient cultures. Colours, clothes and food are also amazing. That is why a lot of tourists can´t help visiting Mexico. Actually, millions of them visit the country every year. People of all ages can have a great time there. It has got beautiful beaches, with clear blue waters that reflect the spectacular places that you can find by the seashore. Mexico City, its capital, is also astonishing. It has got a lot of inhabitants, the people are very friendly there. They have lots of customs and they live them deeply. Take the Day of the Dead for example. It is celebrated on November 2nd or All Souls Day. 

This celebration is so special for this culture that they celebrate it with dances, songs or with art. They even spend a whole night next to their relatives' tombs or graves in the cemetery and have dinner with them.

I know Mexico is quite a bit far away and that it must not be very cheap to get a flight to go there but, still I hope I can visit the country one day, together with my sister and my whole family. That is one of my dreams.

Edinburgh Dream

Well, after a long long time, here I am again! I was asked to talk about my experience out of my country, in Edinburgh (Scotland); so I said yes, but, at first I did not know what to write. I have been there for two months, so I did not feel like writing something like a diary. Then I realised that when you travel you often change your lifestyle somehow, so this is what you all are about to read in a moment.... just if you happen to visit our great page Around the World. See you!!!
