Sunny Spanish Villas

Sunny Spanish Villas

Going to Spain is a treat on its own. Going to Spain and staying in one of the many holiday villas in Spain is a classic. I feel that if you really want to discover a country you need to be immersed in its unique culture and no matter what you think, you can’t do that in a hotel. Surely enough, most villas are in complexes that are also designed for tourists, but if you pick them well, you’ll find one that’s both cheap and just lost enough in the middle of the country that you’ll get to feel the real Spanish experience.

It is a country of contrasts, you could say, where the old meets the new and where the countryside and the beach clash harmoniously but violently. The south of Spain is the perfect example of this. The old towns in the old Cordoba Califate have a unique architecture that, by clashing with all the rest, seem to strangely blend perfectly into the country. The same happens with the amazing city of Barcelona. The old bodegas and music parlors are door to door with young and vibrant new art stores and galleries and with the modern, fashionable clubs, for an experience you won’t soon forget.

St. Nicolaas kerk Amsterdam

Am13This is just one of six churches in Amsterdam and is located across from Central Station. Commonly referred to as a “new” church, St. Nicolaas is an amazing example of the neo-Baroque style church. This church is remarkable inside and out with the oldest part being a tower from the 12th century.
The interior of St. Nicolaas is the most photographed in Amsterdam where you can see both amateurs and professionals capturing the beauty of the charm from the old world.

All Amsterdam hotels will show a star rating which makes it easier for visitors to get an idea of their prices for rooms. The major feature in this church is the organ which was damages in the 1834 fire and was then restored in 1835 and then once again it was restored in 1975 by K.B. Blank. The two bells are still functioning today and mass is held every Sunday by the Catholic church.
