Christmas at Granada, Spain

Streetlights and crowded streets enjoying Christmas at Granada

Granada experiments a methamorphosis when Christmas is coming. We can fairly consider Granada as one of the most beautiful cities in Spain, but when it comes about Christmas, when Sierra Nevada is completely covered in snow, people knows how to protect themselves against the cold and iluminate the city in a marvellous way.

It’s a pleasure walk through the old streets of Granada at winter. You can see the Christmas decoration everywhere, at the roofs, streetlights, shopping centers and also the main monuments like La Alhambra are nicely decorated. Rather than spend your Christmas holiday in a big city like Barcelona or London, trying a small city like Granada as your destination, one plenty of history, art and charming spirit will be an experience you cannot regret.

Apart from the obvious differences between Granada and big cities like the ones mentioned before, there is an extra advantage, the accomodation cost. If you want to look for Hoteles en Granada Centro you will find affordable prizes and lovely hotels.

Browsing I also have found a video which ilustrates what I’m trying to say, and like we all know, an image worth more than one thousand words. And in this video, there are lots of images. Hope you all enjoy it. The music is a typical Christmas spanish song.

Fiumicino airport first for growth in Europe

In the day when the Censis certifies, with a detailed study, the absolute necessity of adapting to new market needs Hotel Aeroporto Fiumicino, because the limits of saturation. And where the mayor Alemanno urged the government to enter the airport development plan on the political agenda, also comes the slap to Moody’s Adr. But more than a critique, the rating agency’s warning seems an assist. It was not enough because the pressing of the first citizen and the President of the Region to boost Polverini Two Fiumicino. Now analysts are putting the government in default. A push, paradoxically, in the same direction in which time moves from Rome airports. “The reduction of the debt rating of Ba1 to Adr – explain – is motivated by the increased risk of the financial profile of Adr because of continuing delays in the finalization of the new regulatory framework and consequent price increases.” How to say that the situation is now unlocked. And that Sparrow and Monti must give a signal. In 2030 97 million passengers expected. Moreover Censis has spoken out. Why Leonardo da Vinci in 2030 could reach 97 million passengers, traffic that will generate 244 000 jobs in more than a value of 16.3 billion euros. Waste any time, without deciding, it would be foolish. Fiumicino is also because for the first growth in Europe (+13.6%) and not exploit the potential would be a grave mistake. For the country first.
