Albarracin

Albarracin is a unique town.What makes it so?First of all , It's geography, then it's history,and finally its delightful surroundings.For this reasons,in 1961 the Spanish government declared this small town in the province of Teruel a national monument. And in 2005, a group of tourist representatives selected Albarracin as "the most beautiful town in Spain."

Nestled in the mountains of central Spain, Albarracin is an ancient town of some 1,000 inhabitants. Surrounding it are green meadows watered by several rivers and a mountain range that shares its name-Sierra de Albarracin.

A source of food and water
In ancient times, the abundance of game in the Albarracin area attracted settlers, whose cave paintings show that they were fine artists and keen observers of nature.They drew many huge bulls and other animals, which they colored using a white pigment that has been seen only in this area. Scholars think that these caves, where scenes of daily life were portrayed, were used as meeting places for religious or social activities.

Even today, deer, wild boar, and small game abound in the nearby reserve of Montes Universales. And thge Guardalaviar (Arabic for "White River" ) is one of the best trout rivers in Spain.

In 133 B.C.E., the Romans subjugated the local Celtiberian tribes and founded several villages in the Albarracin region. In the first century C.E., Roman engineers built a a2 mile- long aqeduct. It is considered to be one of the most complex of the Roman religion too left its mark. A carving on a Roman gravestone found in the town of A;lbarracin indicates that emperor worship was practiced here.

Albarracin is an important historic monument, an ancient village which won an international award for historic preservation. Walking through the narrow streets is like taking a step back in time to another.

The River Kupa

THE RIVER KUPA

One of the most beautiful places of Gorski Kotar is beyond doubt the source of the River Kupa, located at the heart of the Risnjak National Park. At the spacious valley of Kupa, covered with impressive scenes of ancient villages, the beauty of the river dominates.

In spring and fall, rain-swollen river gives the possibility of unforgettable rafting, while in summer months it offers pure enjoyment for canoeists, bathers and fishermen. At the length of 5 - 20 km, lovers of rafting may test their knowledge and capabilities with river guides at unpredictable course of this river.

Ansedonia Caves and Grottos

Many places that have not undergone the development and are not as overrun by tourists during the summertimes, like Ansedonia and its beautiful caves and grottos, just south of Orbetello.

These photos show how the water is bright and clear, great for exploring and relaxing during the summertime's heat!

In the 1960s, Ansedonia was one of the favorite vacation spots for the Roman upper class and there are many beautiful villas there.

Ansedonia is about an hour drive from Sant'Angelo in Colle where we live in the heart of Brunello country. If you come to visit us in the summer, we highly recommend Ansedonia to you. I hope you enjoy your vacation....

Pictures of Antarctica, the Coldest Beautiful Place

Pictures of Antarctica, the Coldest Beautiful Place

Antarctica is on average the coldest, driest and windiest place on Earth. 98% of Antarctica is covered by ice, which is on average 1,6 kilometers (1 mi) in thickness. As there is little precipitation, the interior of the continent is technically the largest desert in the world, but a frozen desert. As for the temperature, scientists recorded the world’s lowest temperature: −89 °C (−129 °F).


One of the Beautiful Places was Antarctica is on average the coldest, driest and windiest place on Earth. 98% of Antarctica is covered by ice, which is on average 1,6 kilometers (1 mi) in thickness. As there is little precipitation, the interior of the continent is technically the largest desert in the world, but a frozen desert. As for the temperature, scientists recorded the world’s lowest temperature: −89 °C (−129 °F).

Though it’s fifth-largest continent in area, its population is about 1000, at the same time there are no permanent human residents, only those conducting and supporting scientific research and other work on the continent. But there are lots of penguins, fur seals and cold-adapted plants. Maybe Antarctica is so beautiful, because there are not many people, it has no government and belongs to no country.

Inca City of Machu Picchu

It was built in the highlands of the central Andes Mountains in the 14th century. Located at 2.430 m above sea level, in the middle of a tropical mountain forest, the Inca city of Machu Picchu was probably the most amazing urban creation of the Inca Empire at its height; its giant walls, terraces and ramps seem as if they have been cut naturally in the continuous rock escarpments.

The archaeological area of the Inca is the most complete city that survived the Spanish invasion. The Inca city of Machu Picchu was discovered by Hiram Bingham on the July 24th, 1911 and it is in the UNESCO World Heritage List since 1983. Currently, the archaeological area is considered in danger due to landslides and the high number of tourists that everyday visit this place. Moreover, I consider The Inca city of Machu Picchu as one of the most beautiful and historical places to visit.
