Party Like A Rockstar In Seville

In the mood to party like a rock star? The rightly famous Seville Spring Fair will be starting on March 31st next year and continuing for nine days. A nine day party like no other. Forget Mardi Gras, forget Carnivale, this party in Andalucia puts them both to shame and does so with the gusto and verve only Andalucians can.

Dancing in the streets, high society parading on horseback, complete indulgence and a 1969 summer of love style spirit of intense and knowing sexuality define this yearly celebration. The streets become full of flamenco dancing, alcohol imbibing, flowery-dress wearing Sevillans without a care in the world. Lining the streets are many tents erected by prominent families of Seville, private clubs and the municipal government. What goes on inside those tents is at the discretion of the proprietor.

After a full day of heady hedonism and exhausting revelry you’ll probably want to collapse in your own place. These packages offer some of the finest accommodations and best prices in the region.

Rome — A Nice, Long Walk

More and more tourists and vacationers going to Italy are rightfully turning in their bus passes for comfortable shoes. There are walking tours in Rome, both guided and self-guided between various European cities and attractions, but if you’re looking to spend a day–or a few days–exploring Italy and don’t want to shell out extra cash for the privilege of stretching your legs, I humbly recommend Rome as your one stop stroll shop.

Rome just lends itself to walking. Even if it weren’t the case that many of the more interesting ancient roads are too thin to admit any vehicle more robust than a Vespa scooter, there would still be something to stop and see around every corner, and scores of people to interact with along each path.

One good walk can begin at the Colosseum. Easily Rome’s most recognizable landmark, and one of the most well known attractions in the world, the Colosseum is situated right in the midst of a huge concentration of top 10 sights. Take a walk northwest along the Via Dei Fori Imperiali and your day can easily fly by before you’ve exhausted the museums and churches.
