There are many reasons or factors that influence us when choosing our holiday destination: discover new places to live exciting experiences, contact with cultures different from our own, the beauty of the landscapes, parties, etc. In my case, I have always tried to combine a bit of each of these aspects: culture, cuisine, landscape, party and relax.
One of the last trips I've done has been a road trip through northern Italy and Tuscany. I had long wanted to visit Venice and Florence and I was really tempting to tour the Chianti Valley drive with the wind hitting me in the face with the smell of freshly picked vine and grape and visit the city of Burano. There were many places we visited on this adventure and many memories returning to my memory.
However, what caught my attention about this trip was the multitude of colors and color ranges that dominate the Italian landscape. This short reflection was led me to develop this collection of places where the color becomes the undisputed star of each.
Galicia and its picturesque fishing villages
Galicia travel in the months of July and August is always a good alternative if the traveler looking to eat well, disconnect from the bustle of the city and be enveloped by delightful scenery. The people of Galicia are not well connected and public transport leaves a lot to be desired, so if your intention is to reach the most spectacular and remote territory conquered by the Celts places, it is advisable to rent a car.
The interior of Galicia is green with high mountains and barely populated villages but with lovely people. The coast, meanwhile, fights between the Atlantic Ocean and the Cantabrian Sea cliffs, estuaries, headlands and lighthouses. While inland villages are characterized by stone manors, the Galician coast is notable for the variety of colors of the facades of their houses.
Unlike many other fishing villages of the Peninsula, as Tossa de Mar or Cadaqués in Catalonia whose houses are completely white; the dwellings of the Galician fishermen radiate color. There is no place in them for simplicity, consistency or trends in color ranges.
In the Costa Gallega, red blends with the sky blue, which in turn gives way to yellow and salmon. An example of this tradition can be seen in the towns of Cabo de Cruz and Escarabote, both parishes Boiro municipality located in the Ria de Arousa. Here it is easy to get "to Lola" or "to Pepita" because their facades are unique and customized nature of its tenants.
When we think Dublin is inevitable imagine a historic town with cobbled streets, siempe cloud cover and bathed in rainwater. Its inhabitants are famous for outgoing, friendly, cheerful and a great fondness for beer and whiskey. As we say in Galicia Galician, Irish can also be defined as "cans tavern." They love to be in bars, table and sharing pints is a form of social convention, a form of escape from the problems and enjoy the day.
Walking through the streets of Dublin, who has not met the stamp of a residential street where the door of each house is a different color? There are many stories about the reasons that led the Dubliners to paint their doors colors but undoubtedly the most recurrent of all is his fondness for drinking alcohol.
According to the stories of the locals that the doors were painted in colors to prevent drunkards returning from the pubs were wrong house. And is that the gossips say that on one occasion a drunk man came home one night, he lay in bed with his wife without realizing until the next day that he had accidentally gotten into the house next door and had just dawn at the home of their neighbors, so the wife decided to paint your door a deep red in order to return to her husband no wrong :)
