The City On Film - La Vella /250 Translucent Red Topshelf Records
“Go and make the city glow bright like no one ever has. Lately, I’ve been living an illuminous life. I feel better now. I’m forever in tune. Go and make my city glow, my city glow.”
“A highlight of a visit to Andorra is the chance to explore this small mountain nation's stunning scenery from the comfort of a car. One of the best routes is along the Valira d'Orient Valley, starting in Les Escaldes north of the capital Andorra la Vella, before heading along the narrow, winding road leading up to the 12th-century Sant Miquel Engolasters, a typical example of the country's many Pyrenean churches in Lombard Romanesque style. From here, it's possible to walk to Lake Engolasters, an artificial lake created by a dam that's popular for fishing and sightseeing.9 Encamp and the National Automobile Museum”
“ Perched high in the eastern Pyrenees, the capital of Andorra, Andorra la Vella, is this small nation's busiest tourist attraction. At an altitude of 1,029 meters, it's one of the world's highest capital cities (it's also one of the smallest with a population of less than 25,000 people). Presiding over the Gran Valira river under the east side of the 2,317-meter Pic d'Enclar mountain, the city's main street is lined with shops selling everything from souvenirs to local arts and crafts, along with many galleries, cafés, and restaurants. Top attractions include Casa de la Vell, built in 1580 and now the seat of government. It's notable for its ornate coat of arms and other historical emblems of the country's former rulers. Highlights of a guided tour include the reception room with its 16th-century wall paintings and, in the Council Chamber (Sala de Sessions), the historic Cupboard of the Seven Keys, to which each of the country's seven communes has a key (it contains the country's archives, including documents dating from the time of Charlemagne). Other sites worth seeing are Plaça del Poble, a public square on the roof of the city's administrative complex, which offers great views of the surrounding scenery, and the 12th-century Sant Esteve Church with its fine carved woodwork. ”
Oare ce este mai important?….caltoria sau destinata?
Cum repet de multe ori mie nu imi place sa ma trezesc de dimineata, dar daca am de ajuns undeva sunt prima care se trezeste. Asa ca acum cateva zile eram cu bagajul pregatit si gata de o noua aventura de la prima ora, in stil Romanesc de aceasta data ;)
Sa mergi cu masina sau cu mini autobuzul nu e exact ce imi doresc dar am realizat ca pentru mine este importanta si calatoria. Nu uit sa privesc peisajul si daca sunt cu un grup de oameni este o ocazie perfecta sa ii cunosti mai bine. Eu pana imi beau cafeaua sunt morocanoasa dar dupa imi revin….altii nu…..sunt glumeata acum :) :)
Dar sa revenim la calarorie, sambata de dimineata am plecat la drum prin Romania spre Judetul Mehedinti la Dubrova pe Dunare. Am fost in multe locuri in Romania dar trebuie sa admit ca nu am ajuns aici si eram curioasa. Impreuna cu grupul de bloggeri trebuia sa ajunem La Vella, o locatie aflata pe Clisura Dunarii si sa vedem ce poate sa ofere acea parte de tara.
Nu o sa va mint, drumul e lung si destul de anevoios, dupa ce treci de Pitesti nu exista autostrada si incepe sa iti cam intre os prin os. Dar dupa o bucata de drum cu cat ne apropiam de destinatia noastra am inceput sa fiu captivata de peisaj. Romania e frumoasa! Sunt mandra de acest lucru, stiu ca alte tari au poate lucruri mai frumoase dar raman la opinia mea, Romania e frumoasa si ofera multe, romanul e lenes si nu stie sa o valorifice cum trebuie.
Peste ceva ore am fost atentionata ca vine Capul lui Decebal….ce?!? Am vazut ceva la televizor dar nu stiam ca e pe traseul nostru iar cand masina a virat pe un pod Decebal s-a aratat semet cat muntele in fata mea. Chiar am fost surprinsa, realitatea era chiar mareata si peisajul uimitor, multe barci pe apa si turisti care se plimbau. Frumos!
La scurt timp am ajus la oaza noastra. La Vella ne astepta pentru relaxare, era exact ce aveam cu totii nevoie. Aer curat, peisaj nesfarsit, pahare de roze, mancare light si la final pepenele dulce si rece, care mi-a pus din nou neuroni in miscare.
Locatia nu te face sa crezi ca esti la sute de km de Bucuresti sau Mamaia…piscine, sezlonguri si multa lume la distractie si relaxare. Totul este de bun gust si te face sa te simti confortabil. Sunt multe locatii pe Dunarii in acea zona si se vede ca s-au investit bani seriosi pentru dezvoltare. Sunt locuri frumoase pentru cazare si majoritatea iti ofera si o priveliste minunata catre Sarbi 😉
Pe seara ne-am intors la La Vella pentru party, eram cu totii pregatiti sa ne dezlantuim dar am preferat sa incepem cu o cina romantica, ne-am cunoscut mai bine. Socializarea functioneaza cand esti departe de casa si in pahare curge vin de calitate.
A doua zi aventura a continuat de dimineata catre Bucuresti, drumul parca a fost mai scurt si mai ok cand stiam cu totii ca ne indreptam spre casele noastre. Pauza de brunch in drum a relaxat moracanosii :)
Concluzia mea pentru aceasta calatorie catre La Vella este ca trebuie sa fii deschis catre noi descoperiri, fie ele si in Romania, poti sa fi surprins si calatoria sa fie la fel de importanta ca si destinatia.
Daca ajungeti in zona sa imi spuneti care a fost parerea voastra, sunt curioasa cum arata acest drum prin ochii altora.
THE TRIP OR THE DESTINATION TO LA VELLA Oare ce este mai important?....caltoria sau destinata? Cum repet de multe ori mie nu imi place sa ma trezesc de dimineata, dar daca am de ajuns undeva sunt prima care se trezeste.
