Our travels

The Lateran Hill

Another Roman hill  - the Lateran. The Lateran Palace was the residence of the Pope in Rome (one of the three in history: the Lateran, the Quirinal and the Vatican), and therefore it equals in its magnificence the largest Catholic churches in Europe. Before the popes could safely reside in Rome, th...

The Vatican

The Vatican has been described all over many times. Tons of paper have been covered with all the alphabets of the world. We are not going to  compete describing what we saw in more than six hours of our visit to the Vatican Museums and St Peter's Basilica. Thanks to our excellent guide we managed t...

New Year's Eve on Gran Canaria

Playa del Ingles

Playa del Inglés does not have a typical centrer; trade, services and restaurants are located in shopping malls (CC = Centro Comercial). A characteristic feature of most C.C. is their construction - the lower levels 2-3 are buried in the ground. Due to the mass audience, their offers are all simil...
