STARTING AGAIN..........

WELCOME TO MY WORLD TRAVEL PAGES.
After more than two years a little bit far from V.T., I am here again in the way to put the pages from old V.T. with new comments, new pics, and changing the old HTML from many places.

I will try to transmit something different to the
usual information we can find in all the travel guides. For me, travelling is more than some pictures and a great collection of postcards. For me, a travel to any place is, first of all, a feeling; something very difficult to put in a piece of paper, because the soul you find in a far village or in any corner of a lonely and unknown country only live in your own heart and in your mind.
So, please, excuse my way of pages. If you are looking for the adress of some restaurant or the time when you can go to a theatre it would be better you buy a guide.
Next days I´ll update my pages from Egypt, Romania, Vic, Toulouse, Perpignan and some other.
So, many pages are in permanent changes, please excuse some of them without text or pics.


Don´ t be affraid to ask any question about all the places I m writting.
I´ ll try to ask as fast and as well as possible. I can understand quiet
well English, better in French, Spanish or Catalan.
The picture is the flag of my country; Catalonia.
This flag is situated at the top of the mount Puigmal high 2913 mts.

*CATALONIA is an european country between France and Spain, and Barcelona is his capital.
We are catalan people and we speak catalan language.
Our country has more than a thousand years of history,
and it has one of the oldest parliament in Europe, so that means in the world...

DREAM

Every man and every woman spend all his or her life wishing something. This , perhaps, means than many people is not happy because not everybody could have all that he wants or wishes. Oh!..so deep all this words, but at the end what I mean is I am happy with two or three things: I´m proud to be from a small but strong country. I love mountains, specially on winter, and walking alone!!. I love, too, travelling to the nearest city or the far country.....and my only wish is to be a good photographer.
Hope you enjoy my travel pages, ask what you want and try to understand something about a small country without state named Catalunya.

VIRTUAL TOURIST

There is something special that impressed so much from the first day I discovered V.T. Is something very strong that makes impossible to go away if you have some feeling for travelling:
Now, I am here, in my city typing this text in my house when someone in Libya, or Belgrad, or Porto is reading some of my tips with the same idea about people, cultures, and freedom of ideas. Our planet, the Earth, is so beautiful, so rich, to spend one life fiting, killing, stealing the poor people.
The differences between colors and cultures and languages are great!

DISAPPOINTMENT

In this second start in V.T. I am a bit sorrow. I have been rating and writing some kind comments in a few pages from spanish members of V.T. , but unfortunately, they NEVER answered. No comments, no words in any way. I can?t believe that in 2004 and specially in such a great place like V.T., where people has open minds, someone could not accept someone who is thinking different. Thanks God there are some normal and intelligent people (thanks Sir Richard, you are a Sir! ).

THE BORDERS

THE BORDERS ARE THE MOST ARTIFICIAL THINK THOUGTH BY THE MAN
They are made always by the winners, never thinking on the people but the business. I don?t know many countries with only a language, a people, an history inside its borders.

THE LIGTH

This place is the most important I know to be closer one culture with another one. No matter the color, religion, thoughts or sex. Here we are all the same..TRAVELLERS IN A GREAT WORLD, LOOKING FOR NO MATTER WHAT

    ¡Hola Josep! Te deseo un cumpleaños feliz. Desgraciadamente aún no he estudiado catalán, pero quizá lo haré algún día. Comprendo que lo sientas cuando escribes a otros VTas y no te contestan, se me ocurre a mí también...
