All About Traveling in The World

Besides the beautiful weather and beaches of Spain, you’ll not want to miss out on one of the great sangria recipes at the local bars and restaurants. Sangria is a drink that’s traditional to Spain, and nearly any restaurant establishment will serve it. The recipe may be a little different from one place to the other, so don’t be afraid to sample the different recipes. As well, many savvy restaurant owners and chefs will vary the recipe according to the meal that you order.

This is basically known to be a summer drink through the northern parts of Spain, but in the southern and eastern areas you will find it being available all year round. This is due in most to the fact that in these areas the temperature and climate are summer like throughout the entire year. The drink does vary by strength depending on the type of establishment you’re visiting, for instance a bar will definitely have a stronger Sangria than a dance club or restaurant. (more…)

Barcelona is a town with a history that like a good Catalan red wine is both rich and dark. Its foundations stretch back to at least the 15th century BC, if not earlier. Like so much of ancient Europe the Romans founded the first semblance of the town we know today as Barcelona. In the centuries that followed Barcelona was invaded by many powerful groups of people including the Visigoths, the Moors and the Muslim ruler Al Mansur. Plundered, conquered, nearly destroyed and under siege for much of its life, it comes as no surprise that Barcelona is also a city with a particular penchant for civil rights and freedom.
