Chinchón – the night after the wedding (I)

22 Sep

Chinchón is not a big town, but it is famous for the drink that wears the same name, made here, in this area – Anis Chinchón. Also, this old medieval place is known for the wines and garlic (in October they organize a garlic festival), but I will come back with informations in a future post. Now, enjoy the night views of Chinchón. Plaza Mayor, where they host bull fights, the old church Nuestra Señora de la Asunción, the clock tower (Torre del Reloj) and the narrow streets in the dark of the night. In the second post about Chinchón, I’ll show you the bullfighting arena, so stay close :)

Beautiful Portugal – 2nd episode

7 Jun

Beautiful Portugal, or should I call it ‘Beautiful Lisbon’ as all the photos are from the Portugal’s capital ?! Well, it doesn’t matter, the important thing is that you like what you see, this is my only desire. Just relax a moment and enjoy!

Late night in Lisbon

1 Jun

A mystic night in Lisbon implies a full moon on a dark sky, a magic power bowl and a relentlessly witch. Don’t worry, not even the moon was full, hehe, the magic bowl was a lamp and the witch… guess who ?! :)  But seriously now, Lisbon old town has a special effect on visitors, it looks so medieval well conserved and all those narrow streets and empties cramped passages, not very well illuminated by the street lights, ah, everything looks creepy and mystical. Of course, you only have to enter into a bar to escape that sensation… which is a good thing to do, late night in Lisbon.

And a short (funny) poll:

Walking in the night

24 Apr

It was late, over midnight, but that’s normal for Madrid’s nightlife. Usually the clubs open at 2:30-3:00 AM and the streets are crowded since early in the morning. For this photo session I walked around plaza Jacinto Benavente on the narrow streets where the light was quite good, but this is still a night session, without flash, so I had to push the limits of my camera to take this pictures. Be indulgent! :)
