HELLO,AND WELCOME TO MY TRAVEL PAGES!

I live in a very tourist town in the south of Spain,BENIDORM, in the COSTA BLANCA or (White Coast,at Alicante province)
I like travel very much, and I've traveled through some of most importants countries in Europe and also I know my country very well,(Spain). I've been in the US twice aswell,and I went to some of best places and cities in the United States.If you're thinking to visit Spain and need any information,don't hesitate and ask me!,also you'll find lots of information in all my travel pages and photos.

Also I am a fan of the Universals Expositions,or World Fairs, I have been in four:

I've been in three VT meetings,where I met some good friends and I had lot of fun.
The first one,it was also the first VT meeting organized in Spain,in Barcelona on December 2.001.(See a picture of that meeting on my Barcelona page).

My second VT meeting was on my hometown Benidorm,and it was at theme Park Terra Mitica.We had a very funny day with some good VT friends!.

And I just returned today from Marbella ,I've joined the 2nd European VT meeting! I had lots of fun meeting new VT'ers and also seeing the beautiful city of Marbella,where Carmen and Stace lives (they have been very busy organizing the meeting) Thanks a lot of this great VT meeting!!
This is a picture of the meeting,taken in a park located in
Marbella's old town!.

I live in BENIDORM,located in the province of Alicante at the COSTA BLANCA or (White Coast).It is a very popular tourist destination for travellers for all rest of Europe.

Here you can find very nice beaches and of course a lot of SUN!!.

Also I've met to other VT friends that have been visiting my city,and I meet also a few of them during my trips.

I just returned two weeks ago from my second trip to Brazil. I have a good friend there,and I am exploring some parts of this beautiful and huge country with him. In my last trip we were seeing some nice places at PARAIBA State,its capital JOAO PESSOA and some a few more nice places around as:

BANANEIRAS
POCINHOS
INGÁ
CAMPINA GRANDE

I specially liked the capital,it has some beautiful colonial buildings and also a few very good beaches,so this is the perfect place to spend a few days off.Because the weather in here is very good almost all year round,the city is always receiving tourist,specially in our winter,(the summer in Brazil). Here you can find a very good choice of hotels,restaurants and shops as any tourist city.

This is a picture taken in the small town of BANANEIRAS.(The Old Train Station)
