How can one forget Venice? From its picturesque canals and majestic churches crowded with colorful houses and wine bars, it is simply unique. Shrouded as it is by the haze caused by moisture and flooded with tourists from all over the world, it seems that Venice does not exist and that only part of our dreams. Venice is no longer just a city coveted by couples on their honeymoon looking for romance, but it is crowded by all types of tourists. So don’t miss even one of its characteristic paths, Piazza San Marco, the Rialto Bridge of Sighs, to capture the true essence of this mysterious city. Seville, tapas and flamenco Seville is the crown jewel of the Spanish Empire and visitors can enjoy its narrow streets lined by orange blossom, Moorish castles and the famous Spanish tapas. Seville is flamenco, tapas, bullfighting, parties... all that embodies the essence of Spain. You can discover the old neighbourhoods with their narrow streets, quiet parks and friendly people for which the Andalusian capital is famous. Seville holds an architectural heritage of great value, the Cathedral, the Giralda and the Reales Alcazares are one example, but it is advisable to visit the city in the milder seasons to avoid being suffocated by the heat. Bruges, a flemish city Bruges, Belgium, is a charming town that has preserved its medieval appearance with its brick houses, towers and old bridges. So stroll through the cobblestoned streets or take a boat trip along the canals. It is impossible to remain indifferent to the subtle charm of Bruges: so many picturesque spots and picture-postcard views but also attractions, art treasures and monuments that make the beautiful Flemish city a veritable outdoor museum. Arles and Vincent van Gogh It was no accident that Vincent Van Gogh chose to live the last years of his life in Arles. Now on the verge of madness, he found in the Provençal town another two years of inspiration and this was his most creative period, in which he worked relentlessly and created over 300 paintings. Why? He felt that madness was about to reach him and that, in a short while, he would die or become unable to paint. Lisbon, the melancholy and the sailors' songs Lisbon is a popular, indolent and melancholy city, like all the cities of the sea. And so are its inhabitants whose character we understand better when listening to the first Fado, the Portuguese songs that women used to sing to their beloved sailors which set off to conquer the world.
