Bike Ride

Hola bones gents!
This weekend we rode (like some kind of modern cowboys) all across the Côte d'Azur. Of course it was not me who drove but Jose (you can find his pictures some posts before). My friend's bike is a beautiful and reliable machine, a Suzuki Bandit 600S wich I fell in love with. So I think i'm going to pass the examination for the motorbike driving license (I don't think I could with only one month left in Spain). The problem was the helmet Jose gave me...it was old and it hasn't a visor so my eyes soaked in tears all the trip and my face was cold as ice.


We arrived at Èze, a nice village in the top of a hill by the sea. It's a small town with small streets and a magnificient views over the Mediterranean Sea. Unhappyly most of the best views are only visibles only from the Exotic Garden, and the Golden Goat Hotel (I don't remember the name exactly, but since they have a golden goat in the roof I think it's a good name...). I managed to get some pictures (I was hanging like an acrobat to get these pictures, so please be kind...).


In this small town there are a lot of VIP's appartments (not mine...yet) for example Bono, the singer of U2, not the spanish parlament president. All those hills with little villas over the sea are really common all along the way until Monaco. And all the views I saw while we where riding were beautifull. We were also at La Turbie from where I took some pictures of Monaco and Montecarlo. These cities are not bigger than Corbera and Riola (my parents' place) together but surely there are more money there than in half of Spain:


On the way back we also could have some great landscapes, and we could saw the Cap Ferrat. It's a pity that we didn't had enought time to visit all those small towns because they looked very beautiful, with his small ports and yatch. But also with old buildings and a lot of things to see...
Right now I am in Barcelona...see you in next post!

Back to Côte d'Azur

Bonjour!

Salut ça va? cette semaine je suis rentré à Carros, (Nice). Dans l'avion il n'y avait que 4 persones seulement!!!!, il y avait plus d'equipage que de voyageurs...
Au travail cette fois il y avait beaucoup de choses a faire...par contre a l'hotel rien du tout. Mais bon, il y avait Alain. Alors on a suivi la diète que l'on avait suivi la première fois, c'est a dire bieres chaque soir. J'ai pas grande chose a raconter cette semaine, le temps c'etait bon. Il n'a pas eu de pluie et le temps c'etait bon, mais vers la fin de la semaine le froid est venu même au sud.
Bon, on se verra au prochain post!

Barcelona I

Holas sapos y princeses!
How are you? Last friday I saw an architecture masterpiece...one of the most impressive buildings I've ever seen. The Sagrada Familia of Gaudi. Wow...when i saw it for the first time I said that: wow...I don't remember if it was this word exactly, or something like: "Ei collò! i l'hostia quanta pedra!!!!" (wich means: ohhh! what a great amount of stones...more or less). I always have known Sagrada Familia only by postcards, but being there standing in front of the gate, was different. Gaudi was a genius. But this is something that everybody knows. You can also visit La Pedrera, Casa Milà, Casa Batllò, etc...these are buildings designed by him..


I could't took any picture because It was night and there's no flash that can light all the building...but i have to go there again by daylight, and you'll see my pictures here in your favourite blog (or not...). Here you have a picture of the Museum of modern art of Barcelone, and one of a little street near the Cathedral.


Anyway, I went with some friends to watch Barcelona by night. We met at the Spain Square's Fountain, also know as the singing fountain. And from there we went to Sagrada Familia and we try to get to the Agbar's Building. But after some minutes walking, we relaized we got lost (it wasn't my fault...i was the only one who was visiting Barcelona for the first time...), so we decided to go to eat and drink sangria (typical spanish...y olé!). We went to the end of the Ramblas to dinner in a typical tapa's bar. Unhappily no flamenco, no guitar concert...but good sangria anyway (not as good as mine of course...). If we had been in Valencia, I now of a few flamenco bars, we could have been. We stayed a little in that bar talking and drinking sangria. After dinning, we came back home, because I had to fly to Nice quite early. I'll explain in the next post that flight. See you!

Back Home (for a weekend)

Hello everybody!
This weekend I was in Valencia. Land of Fallas, oranges, paella y olé...
I was with my family, it means that I ate well. This time was fideuà, it's a kind of paella with seafood and noodles instead of rice. Delicious (thanks dad!). Of course when I arrived at Barcelona my weight had increased...nevermind I'll go to the gym again. I went out to some bars of my town to remember Sueca by night and I saw a lot of people that I haven't seen for a long time. It was quite...sympa.


One thing I didn't like of my town, is that in some bars smoking is still allowed. Few minutes after you entered and you smell like a cigarette. It's a pity because I like the pubs of Sueca. Some of them are the bests pubs I ever entered (Hod Rod for example). And being in Sueca (25000 hab.) is not the same that being in one big city, so the prices are really cheap (I'm used to the prices of Paris...).
Well, I will continue talking about my town and its nightlife in other post. See you!

Bon dia!

Bon dia gentola diversa!
Ayer llegué a Barcelona, como os indique. Pero tal era el cansancio que se apodero de mis pobres huesos, que no resisti mucho por la noche. Para llegar a Barcelona centro tengo que coger el tram y el metro. La verdad es que despues de estar en Carros (Niza) se agradece estar en un sitio en el que pueda llegar facilmente al centro. De momento tampoco he salido mucho. Fui anoche a cenar con Dani y Carles, y paseamos un poco. Pero no mucho, porque el tiempo no salio muy decente.


Este hotel es un hotel de lujo...4 estrellas. Mirar las fotos, menuda chambre!, creo que voy a parecer un catalogo de hoteles, a base de hacerles tantas fotos...tengo hasta el plus, con todos sus canales importantes (si, tambien puedo ver porno)


Esta manyana, me pedi el desayuno ligero, y ahi lo teneis en la foto. Aunque las servilletas no dejan ver los pasteles ni los cruasanes ni casi nada. Hoy hace un dia horrible, con una tempestad rugiendo fuera. No creo que salga mucho hoy, con este tiempo no apetece. Seguramente bajaré al gimnasio, despues de ver una peli. Por cierto, estas paredes parecen de papel, tenia al lado de mi cuarto una pareja que estaria dandolo todo...se escuchaban hasta los gemidos. Por un momento crei que me habia dejado enchufada la tele y el plus, pero no! era de verdad...a no ser que un vecino estuviera viendo un video.
Bueno, espero esta semana ir a Barcelona y tomar algunas fotillos interesantes. Feliz fin de fin de semana!
Hasta la proxima!

By night

Hola de nou xiquets! Os escribo este post despues de haber salido anoche a darlo todo con Alan i Jose (la foto es de otra semana...)...menuda noche. Empezamos a darlo todo con cervezas en la noche de Halloween, y en algun momento pasamos al tequila...para volver a las cervezas. En tal estado lamentable me encontraba esta manana que crei que no cogia el avion...

Y luego dice Alberto que la ENST nous manque...la llevamos dentro donde vayamos.

La verdad es que la noche de Niza es muy entretenida, porque a todos los bares a los que fuimos (3 o 4 creo), habia musica en directo, y con horas y horas de concierto. Ademas casi todo rock del bueno, con algunas canciones pop. Me hizo pensar que si en lugar de Paris, el grupo lo hubieramos hecho aqui, seguramente habriamos encontrado varios bares para tocar.

A discotecas no fuimos, pero la verdad es que no se hecha de menos para nada. Personalmente prefiero ir a un bar a ver un grupo tocar en directo, asi que en Niza encontre mon bonheur.

Bueno, esta noche toca salir por Barcelona...ya os contaré. Ademas el hotel es de lujo (4 estrellas). Cuando llegue a Barcelona, vi una cosa que me encanto. El precio de los taxis. En Niza es desorbitado, para ir del hotel a Niza son 70 o 80 euros (paga la empresa...), pero ves que todos los coches son de lujo. Aqui, del aeropuerto al hotel (tiene sus kilometros), en un nissan normal, 20 euros...

Ate logo!

Beautiful Nice

Hello everybody! This are a few photos I took from Nice last weekend. From the Promenade, and the Castle. Beautiful views, but a little hard to get there (lots of stairs...). Even if it was almost winter the weather was quite good, and a lot of people were swimming. I ate Socca, the Nice's typical pancake, made of pea's flour (farine de pois chiche...)



The port is also amazing...not for the port itself, but for the Luxe and all the Yatch I found there...it's well know that all the celebrities got an appartment there, so why not an appartment and a Yacht. I think that one single yacht there is more expensive that all the ship fleet of Cullera's harbour and El Perello together (Que trist es ser pobre collons!)


My conclussion after the visit it was quite simple...Nice is nice (I know I use this joke often...)
Another day I'll talk about Nice by night. Next week i move to Barcelone, but i hope to go out my last night with Jose and Alain (VIE Mexico). See you!

Bon Sejour a Carros

La vida continua y este blog...pues también. Después de haverme acostumbrado al hotelito, a la cuesta digna de la imaginacion de Isma, a ir a comprar al LIDL i volver por un camino de cabras mal iluminado...o sin iluminacion del todo, esta semana tocaba otro nivel de dificultad...la lluvia. En efecto mis amigos parisinos...no solo llueve en Paris, Brest, Barcelona y Sueca (en esta ultima bastante mas que en las otras...), sino que en Niza tambien. La lluvia aqui viene un mes, en el que esta todo muuuy nublado y con varias lluvias fuertes al dia.


El caso es que bajar la pendiente, vestido con traje, mientras con una mano llevo el portatil y en la otra el paraguas, ha resultado ser un poco fastidioso. Ademas la lluvia tiene sus horarios tambien, la muy ****** empieza cuando estoy saliendo de casa, y para cuando llego al curro. Para volver a empezar una vez he acabado de comer. Que cosas, eh?


Pues nada, la vida sigue aqui en Carros...por cierto pronto llega un nuevo VIE que sera destinado a Mexico, a Guadalajara. Hogar de nuestro querido amigo Jose Nieves. Disfrutad!
