Okumo!
This big cat was originally for an exhibition, but later the public thought it was beautiful and stayed. Change plants every year.
I like this colored ball, like a drop of water.
Just like in the painting
This exhibition is the work of an architect, taking photos of the structure.
At night, it's beautiful.
When I was breathing fire, it suddenly rained lightly, which was artistic!
There is nothing better than Bilbao, and there is nothing special about a market in the old city. Only Guggenheim is the most famous. Inside, it is an ordinary museum. If it's a one-day tour, there's plenty of time, and it doesn't really matter if you can't get in. Unless you like visiting museums very much. You can look at the introduction outside and decide which writer's work you can't get into. After all, the price is not cheap.

This museum mainly displays Picasso, Cezanne, Kandinsky and Paul? Klee and Ansam? Kiefer's works are also on temporary display. Museums have revitalized the local economy (the net value of industrial products in Basque province has increased by as much as five times) and brought new vitality to the price-earnings ratio.
Mohua square
Mohua Square is in the city center, which is the geographical center of the old city. The buildings around the square are almost eight or nine stories high, with both classical and modern styles and different shades. From the19th century to the present, they seem to depend on each other harmoniously. There are eight roads that meet in the shape of "m" here, forming a circular road outside the square.

Bilbao Festival
Athletic Bilbao
In mid-August, the local festival in Bilbao officially began, which is comparable to Christmas and extremely grand. The biggest highlight is Feria Amusement Park, which attracts thousands of local citizens and thousands of foreign tourists. There are the most romantic game "Ferris wheel" and the most exciting game "Upside down the sky".
Although Chinese people in West China seldom take part in outdoor activities, many young people will join in the fun at the annual FERIA and invite several buddies to travel together. After one o'clock in the morning, people from China arrived in small groups or in pairs.
The most exciting "Fantian" venue was crowded with onlookers, and many China people were among them. This game can only accommodate eight participants at a time, which is similar to the ferris wheel spinning in the air, but it is much more "scary" than riding the ferris wheel. The machine rotates very fast, the irregular forward and reverse rotation increases the degree of terror, and the seat itself will turn over, so the air screams from time to time.
Xiaohua and his party couldn't wait to drive to FERIA amusement park after work. A group of people are also attracted by the "upside down" charm. After watching the game for a few minutes, several companions got excited and rubbed their hands, trying to get excited. They bought five tickets and brought everyone together. Xiaohua doesn't want to play because he is timid. He is exhausted after a busy day in the restaurant. But his friend's kindness is hard, and he is afraid of being demoted as a coward by his friends. He had to take a few deep breaths, summon up courage and step into an upside-down seat. When the machine started to turn and his feet left the ground, he felt as if he had gone through eighteen levels of hell, jumped off four floors and entered the gate of hell. His whole soul is out of physical experience and wandering around the world. When he opened his eyes, his heart beat several times faster and his body trembled. The long three-minute adventure is finally over. Xiaohua is weak in limbs, almost unable to move, retching, and seems to have only half a life. Moreover, due to malnutrition and anemia, he also appeared pale, dizzy and dazzling. The companion found Xiaohua in a bad situation and even planned to call an ambulance. After ten minutes' rest, his condition improved a little, but he was worried about all the games in Feria. At this time, he didn't feel any pleasure. The excitement of coming to the playground disappeared. He just wants to go home early, lie in bed and rest to calm his nerves.

(This article is reproduced from the self-help travel network)
Most of the whole journey has high speed, and highways are basically talked about between big cities in Europe.
In France, after you take Highway 64 to Spain, you change to A-2, and the distance is optimized.
You can also enter from northern Spain and take A- 1.
Don't forget to get the answer.
I've been in Spain for half a year, and I've been wandering around for a while. I've been diving and asking questions, so I think it's time to make some contributions.
Let's start with Alcala where I live.
Al Calad HerNares is a famous university town in Spain and even in the world. This city is a university, and different departments are located in different corners of the city. 1999, the school celebrated its 500th anniversary, so it is a very old city. In addition to the university, it is also the hometown of Miguel de Cervantes, the author of Don Quixote, a landmark work of Spanish literature, so it is a small town with a strong cultural atmosphere.
Life in Alcala is generally quiet, without the smog in big cities, and the environment here is very good.
First of all, the first sight of the city is Cervantes Square, which is also considered as the center of the city. The offices of the municipal government, the post office and Guardia Civil (a department similar to the city managers established in Franco's time) are all around the square, and the tourist information center is also in the northeast corner of the square. You can get the city map and bus route map. In addition, there is a McDonald's next to the square, a Doner Kepap (Chinese style meat buns, but big ones), a Burger King on Calle Mayor in front of the pedestrian street, and of course there are many bars, restaurants, grocery stores and cigarette shops. Recommend an Asian food cafeteria called Wu, just in Calle Mayor. Lunch from Monday to Friday is less than 8 yuan, which is a very cost-effective place. If you are tired of eating fast food and want to save some money, this is a good choice. However, it should be noted that the lunch time here is 65438+ 0: 30 pm.
This is Cervantes Square, and the photo taken in front is my classmate. Please ignore it. . .
The bronze statue of Cervantes in the center of the square is a symbol here.
This street is where my family lives.
The monastery next to my school.
Another scenic spot in this city, Colegio Mayor de San Ildefonso, was built in 1499 by the then cardinal in the name of the king. It is the awarding place of Cervantes Literature Prize, the highest prize in Spanish literature.
If you arrive here in the middle of 10, you can still catch the annual Cervantes Festival, which is held to celebrate Cervantes. This festival only lasts for three days. At that time, the whole Cervantes Square and Kalemayor will be crowded with vendors selling things (of course, it won't be cheap, a bag of freshly fried potato chips will cost more than three yuan), and they will wear medieval clothes.
During the Cervantes Festival, Cervantes Square was packed with people.
This stall is full of fairies.
Cervantes Day will hold a parade in front of Saint Yvonne College.
Night view of small street.
Generally speaking, this city is a very quiet historical town. In addition, because it is very close to Madrid (it only takes 40 minutes to get here by bus and Cercanía, the suburban line of the national railway), it is very suitable for a one-day tour. Of course, if you want to stay overnight, there are also some small hotels and 2-3 star hotels in the city.
Other tips:
1. The national railway station is located in Paseo de Estación, and it only takes fifteen minutes to walk from the national railway station to Cervantes Square in the city center, or it can be reached by bus. You can take bus No.7 to the "Cervantes Square" station not far from the station, and the fare is one euro. However, personally, if there are not many things, it is completely unnecessary, and it is easy to get there by asking passers-by. In addition, the fare from Atocha or Chamatine in Madrid by suburban line is about 3 euros, which takes 30-40 minutes, and there will be one every 5- 10 minutes. The last bus time is about 1 am.
The bus stop is located in Via Complutense, the main road of the city, just opposite a large Carrefour supermarket. Cars from Madrid all take the bus at Avenida de América bus stop, which takes 40 minutes and costs 2.85 euros. It's almost a straight road from the bus station to Cervantes Square, which takes less than ten minutes. Buses run every 20 minutes during the day and run all night. At night 1 1: 00 to 7: 00 am, every half hour to every hour.
3. El Corte Inglés, the Yingting Shopping Center in the city, is located in the relatively remote La Garena district, and can be reached from Cervantes Square by 1 bus. But because the 1 road is a loop, we need to ask the direction. Al Campo, another shopping center in the city, is also located outside the city, and you can take bus No.5 to the gas station at the end of Paseo de Estación n.
Alcala de Nares has finished.

Madrid (Madrid)
As I said before, the city where I live is very close to Madrid, but to be honest, I mostly go shopping in Madrid. I'm ashamed that I haven't really played the real scenic spots seriously.
Let's talk about the way from the airport to the city. Madrid's airport Ba Laha has four terminals. Generally, low-cost airlines from China to Madrid and Europe will stop at Terminal 1, so it must be the most likely terminal for students. When you get out of the terminal, follow the signpost to find the subway station. The subway stations of 1, 2 and 3 are together, but they are located in Terminal 2, so the students who get off the plane at Terminal 1 and 3 have to walk some way, while Terminal 4 has its own separate station because it is newly built. From the subway station, you can take Metro Line 8 (Nuevos Ministerios direction) to Nuevos Ministerios station, which is one of the bus stops in Madrid. This station has the suburban line of the National Railway Station, as well as Line 6 and Line 10. It should be noted here that the subway ticket in Madrid is 1 euro (but it seems that the price has increased recently? Not sure, because the ticket has been used ten times. . . ), there is no charge for transfer. However, the subway ticket from the airport to the city needs to add 1 euro Suplemento. This kind of ticket can be bought at the ticket machine at the entrance of the subway station (so it costs 2 euros to go downtown), but there is no place to buy this kind of ticket from downtown to the airport, but it doesn't matter, because there will be a ticket machine selling 1 Suplemento at the exit of airport metro, so just buy one and brush it out. There is also the airport bus, which you have never taken. You can follow the road signs. I only know that the terminal is Avenida de América, and the fare is about 3 euros. Another thing to note is that the subway in Madrid is from 6: 00 am to 65438+ 0: 30 am, so students who arrive in the early morning can't take the subway. And the airport bus is said to be all night (because I haven't been there, I'm not sure).
When you arrive in Madrid, you should first go to the Sun Gate Square in the city center, where there is Madrid's iconic statue "Bear and Raspberry Tree". In addition, Madrid's annual New Year countdown is also held here, with many people. . .
Bears and raspberries
The street to the north of Sun Gate is the famous Grand Avenue, which is said to be modeled after the Champs Elysé es. On both sides of the street are groups of high-rise buildings, as well as Zara, Mango, H& etc. M and other young people's brands, which is the shopping center of most young people. In addition, there is a big Yingting shopping center at the end of the street, just at the exit of callao subway station. Next to it is Footlocker, Fnac, an audio-visual and book chain store, and a specialty store of Spanish local brand Desigual.
grand avenue
Go to Gran Via Street, take the street on the right, and you can walk to Plaza de Espa, the famous landscape square in Madrid. A: There are some vendors selling things in the square.
Fountain in the square
The big statues of Don Quixote and Sancho Banza in the square are sky blue and fascinating.
In addition, there is the Plaza Mayor, the largest square in Madrid, which is about ten minutes' walk near the Sun Gate. . . )。 When I went here at an unfortunate time, my camera died, so I stole a photo of my friend who went with me. . . To protect my privacy, I blurred him. . . )
The street mayor is in front of the sun, the only way for the mayor of the square.
In Madrid, the subway is marked with a diamond sign, which is easy to identify.
Some subway lines in Madrid are worn out because they are very old.
The other is the world-famous Prado Museum. There are many famous paintings in it, but I don't have any artistic cells, so I came out after a visit, but it is said that it is not enough for professionals to stay here for one day.
Taking pictures in front of Prado means I have been there myself. . . (Don't pat the brick if you are ugly-)
In addition, 10. 12 is Spain's national day. I mentioned earlier that there will be a military parade near Nuevos Ministerios, and I just seized this opportunity to witness the military parade in Spain. Of course, it is much smaller than the large-scale military parade in China. One is that the country is not big, and the other is that a military parade is held here every year. But of course, it is different from the military parade in China, especially the cavalry regiment, which still has momentum when marching side by side.
Madrid people hold the slogan "Larga Vida Al Rey".
Cavalry. There is an interesting detail here, that is, after a group of horse classics, horse manure will inevitably be left on the way to the military parade. So the cavalry walked in front, and the sanitation workers walked behind to collect horse manure, which was very funny.
Member of cavalry regiment
The other is Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, the home of Real Madrid. I stole a photo of my classmate before I went there. Ha ha! )
Some tips:
1. In addition to Gran Via, there are several British shopping centers for friends who like shopping, among which the larger ones are located in Nuevos Ministerios and Méndez. Alvaro (just outside Madrid South Bus Station). In addition, luxury brands are basically located in Serrano, which can be reached by Metro Line 4.
2. There is a big discount village called Las Rozas in the suburb of Madrid, where big brands will get a 6-9 discount all year round. The way to get here is to take subway line 3 or line 6 and get off at Moncloa, and then take bus No.628 and get off at Las Rozas village.
3. Buses from Madrid to other places usually start from Estación del Sur and take the subway to Mendes? Alvaro can get off the bus and follow the road signs. The national railway station of this station is opposite the exit. Of course, some buses will depart from Avenida de América, and some buses will depart from Príncipe Pio (mainly to segovia). Therefore, when you buy bus tickets, you must be optimistic about which bus station is the starting station to avoid unnecessary trouble. Buses usually check in 20-30 minutes before departure and leave as soon as they arrive, so please grasp the time. However, if you miss a bus, you can communicate with the conductor at the window. If there are seats available on the next bus, you can tell the driver. The driver will ask the bus stop manager to change the ticket for you, and then you can go. Of course, if there are no empty seats, we have to admit our bad luck and buy tickets again.
4. The two railway stations in Madrid are Atocha and Shamadin. So if you buy a train ticket, you must look at the departure station. Both subway and suburban lines can reach these two railway stations. And there is a tourist information center in the station. In addition, there is a tourist consultation center in the mayor's square.
In Madrid, subway connections are basically everywhere, so taking the subway is the most convenient way. Of course, if you stay for a long time, you can buy a ticket for 10 (viajes, Diez). There is no time limit. You can use it after you run out, and the fare is cheaper than buying it separately. . . Cost-effective.
Madrid is finished (it will definitely be added one after another).

Valencia (Valencia)
In fact, when I went to Valencia, I didn't want to travel, but I wanted to watch the local tennis tour. My motivation is not pure, and I haven't played much in the basic attractions (to be honest, there are really no attractions in this city). But for me, I enjoyed my two days in Valencia very much, not because of the scenic spots, but because of the atmosphere of the city itself. I have been to many cities in Europe in the past six months, but this city has always occupied the first place in "my favorite European city". It's clean, the weather is friendly (because it's close to the sea, it won't be very cold all year round), and the people here are also very enthusiastic. Modern buildings and ancient buildings are intertwined here, and Horchata, a special drink here, is delicious. . . . . .
There are three ways to get from Madrid to Valencia: bus, national railway and plane. It takes about 4 hours by bus, and the round-trip bus of auto-res bus company costs about 45 euros. The national railway departs from Madrid Atocha Station, and it takes about three and a half hours to arrive. The plane takes about 50 minutes, so you can choose Ryanair, and often throw out a round-trip ticket of 10 euros.
Since I arrived by bus at that time, I will talk about the way from the bus station to the city center. Of course, you can take the subway, but it's very troublesome to go back and forth, so you can take the No.8 bus directly at the gate of the station to Larena Square in the city center, which takes about 15 minutes.
Queen Square, the central square of the city (there is a tourist information center next to the square).
Street in front of Queen's Square
I said the main purpose this time is to watch tennis. Tennis court.
The place where the tennis match is held is called Science City. This place is very beautiful. It is said that there is the largest aquarium in Europe. . . ), as well as the Science and Technology Museum and IMAX Cinema. It takes about 20 minutes to take bus No.35 from the city hall square and get off at Autovia al Saler.
Is there a tennis match in the building at the end? Gora.
City Square and Post Office
cathedral
The road in front of the city hall square
The very old Silk Market (La Lonja) has been listed as a World Heritage Site.
At that time, the Valencia government was corrupt, so citizens began to demonstrate at night. The sign held by the man behind said "Cómo se puede votar un ladrón". I have to say that the Spanish really like parades.
Some tips:
1. When you come to Valencia, you must try Horchata, a famous drink here. Very delicious. Generally, there are street vendors in the city, and a large glass of Horchata costs 2.5 euros. Another drink, Agua de Valencia, is a cocktail made of red wine, gin, vodka and orange juice. You won't feel anything after drinking it, but you have enough stamina, so be careful.
2. When spring comes in mid-March, Valencia will hold the world-famous Fa Ya Festival "Las Fallas", and local people will make large paper dolls to welcome the arrival of spring. Citizens+tourists from all over the city will choose their favorite paper dolls within one week. The first paper doll will be picked up at the local Museo de las Fallas after the festival (you can get there by bus 15 in the city square), and all other paper dolls will be burned in Queen's Square on the last day of the festival (usually Sunday). Because this festival is very famous, students who want to go must book a place in advance (usually at least one month), otherwise it is impossible to book it. Moreover, all hotels will increase prices to varying degrees, so everyone should be prepared psychologically.
Valencia, over. Because I didn't play this city seriously, I have decided to revisit this city in May.1holiday, so I will update it again.

Granada (Granada)
Granada, located in Andalusia, southern Spain, is the last stop of Spain's "Recovering Lost Land" movement (also known as the Recovery Movement, a war between Spanish and Arab invaders) which ended at the end of 15. In other words, during the nearly 800-year recovery movement, this city has been a bastion of Arab resistance. 1492, the Spanish Catholic monarch (Reyes Católicos) finally recovered it, which also achieved a great victory in the recovery movement. Therefore, the city can be said to be very Arabic, and the world-famous Alhambra Palace adds a strong Arabic flavor to the city.
People say that the weather is an important factor affecting travel, which is very correct. Because when my friends and I arrived in Andalusia at the beginning of this year 1 month, it was raining all the time, and the whole trip was not very pleasant. The so-called world-famous Alhambra Palace is just like other scenic spots for us in rainy weather. But in summer, you can imagine the beautiful scenery of Alhambra Palace surrounded by trees, which is still outstanding.
When I first arrived in Granada, the weather was terrible. A street.
