Centro Cultural Miguel Angel Asturias, Guatemala City

...Me and my girlfriend decided to visit Madrid last summer. So being the students that we are we booked cheap flights on easyjet. That was the easy bit. The hard part came later when we had to decide on a hotel to stay in. We wanted somewhere close to the city centre as we were only there for a few days but we had to do it on a budget but wanted to go slightly better than a hostel, it was after all our first holiday abroad together. ::: Why The Asturias?? ::: We eventually settled on the Hotel Asturias because it fitted what we wanted. It is extremely close to the city centre which is what we wanted as we were only there for 3 nights. It is only minutes away from the Calle Gran Via, one of the main shopping streets in Madrid. It is also minutes away from two metro stations (in opposite directions, either Sol or Sevilla which... Read review

...Lisbon is a great city, it combines the narrow streets and houses with centurys with modern architecture, without shocking with each other. You will feel at home here, everyone talks at least english and spanish, and if they don't, they'll try to communicate with you anyway! There are apartments for renting just for tourists, from 1 to 30 days in typical Neighborwoods like Alfama and Bairro Alto. If you want to visit some art expositions there is ccb (centro cultural de belem), Centro Calouste Gulbenkian (with modern art, often the expose paintings from new artists), and the recently opened Museu do Oriente. If you want to go out, i recommend you Bairro Alto, Docas, Santos, etc... I strongly recommend Art Bar, but you will allways find a place to have fun here! This is a safe place to visit, there isnt much crime in Portugal. So just go... Read review

...Stelios has just opened up the peaks of Northern Spain to the Brits, and all I can say, is a big 'well done'. He has given us a holiday in which we peeked at amazing mountain peaks, and swam on beautiful beaches... this is the region of Asturias. WHERE IS ASTURIAS ? = The area is in the North West of Spain, with the port of Santander just beyond its Eastern boundaries. It borders Galicia on the West, and is a bit north of Leon and Cantabrica. HOW DO YOU GET THERE ? Santander is the obvious starting point if you are taking your car, but the ferry is not cheap, and you have a lot of driving ahead. Easyjet have just started flights this year from Stansted to Asturias airport. I was a bit puzzled as this airport also gets called Ranon and Oviedo.! The nearest vilage is Ranon; the capital city...
