Advantages: Away from the Tourist Hoards of St Marks. Disadvantages: None
...Just returned from our annual anniversery trip to Venice and noticed that no-one has done a review on this church as yet.
Just Jump on Vaperreto Number 2 outside St Marks.
As you stand by the water at St Marks you can not but notice a large Church on the opposite side of the Canal which is the Church of Santa Maria Della Salute, I am afraid I did not take any photos this year as the main dome is covered in scaffolding, in fact there seemed to be more buildings this year that were being worked on.
This is not a critism of Venice, by its nature restortaion work is a necessity.
It was on 22 October 1630 that the Senate of Venice decided to build a Church to Honour the Madonna to mark the end of the Plague which had devestated Venice.
So the first stone was laid on April 1st 1631, what a change from here where it seems to take...

Advantages: Very convenient when shopping Disadvantages: Not exactly a scenic location but that is not why its there.
...I ate lunch here with my wife and two friends in October 07 We were there because we were shopping at El Corte Ingles, which beyond doubt is the superior supermarket chain in Spain.
The service was quick, the waiter was attentive and the food was as good and comprehensive as the menu suggested. The menu itself consisted of typical Spanish fare, tenera (Calf) beef, various cuts of pork,a wide selection of fish, soups and salads, nothing that I remember in great detail, but what I do remember was the overall high quality of the food that was served up to me and my companions.
Do you ever get that feeling when the food arrives at the table and your mind says either "wow, I think I'm really going to enjoy this," or "Oh no, I wish I'd chosen to eat someowhere else."
Well they had the wow factor but not over the top. I recall my bass...

Advantages: A really little jewel you can't miss... Disadvantages: The most important part of it it's his exterior view
...All of the people in the world has already name Pisa because of the tower. Not so many people knows the other interesting things Pisa has to offer.
It is a mix of various architectural styles grown up as time passed by.
I live there, so before I start with my review about the church, I just may give you some suggestions in the case you'd like to visit Pisa.
My first thought about Pisa was that I didn't like it a lot. A quite calm city to live, but not so typical, very different to my born city. However my opinion has changed in this three years I spent in this place.
Its main buildings were started in the medieval age and some in the Renaissance.
Campo dei miracoli and S. Maria della Spina are middle age oriented, also if with a lot of Arabic influences.
It hosted a lot of famous personalities: it's Galileo Galilei born city...
