Salvador, in the state of Bahia, north east Brazil (or São Salvador da Baía de Todos os Santos as it was named in the past) was the first colonial capital city of Brazil and, although power shifted to Rio de Janeiro in the late eighteenth century, then to Brasilia in 1960, it retains much of it's past grandeur and colonial architecture. One of the main reasons to come here, however, is the wonderful mix of cultural influences that make the cuisine, music and lifestyle here so different even to other parts of Brazil. The population of over three million, consists mainly of people with African origins descended from slaves, although there have been many other strong influences through Salvador's history. Salvador is also famous for it's carnival and street parties.
The final stop on my extensive two-week tour of Brazil was to Salvador ...

Football is coming home and those European glory days are returning for British football with an English club making the last four Champions League finals. Aston Villa could well be involved in winning the big ...

Advantages: A place to share with friends. Disadvantages: None.
La Ville Rose means the pink city, which seems rather a strange name for people to give to a vast city in the South of France, although there is good reason.
When you look over the bridges towards the centre of Toulouse, all of the buildings that form the historic centre of this great city appear to be pink. This is one of France's huge cities with over 600,000 inhabitants, and when I visited last year, I was amazed at the activity, because I live in a small community of 400 people, and to me, this was enormous.
I stayed near the centre of Toulouse with a friend, and in this particular area, the parks are amazing. There are roads leading off in all directions, but the people in the parks do not have to be concerned with the hustle bustle of city life, because parks are joined to one another with bridges that cross these major roads ...
