Our plan of the week is a trip by 4x4 vehicle. There are many places which deserve to be enjoyed aboard a 4x4, and although we would like to bring you a summary with all the routes to have fun, we can not list all of them, and therefore here there are a small selection of fire, ice, desert and jungle destinations. Here's our list of recommended:

1. Route along volcanoes in Fuerteventura - Spain;

2. Kola Peninsula - Russia during the snow season;

3. Desert of Morocco; and

4x4 Routes

07:00 05 Recommendations , 4x4 , 4x4 routes , Autumn , Events 1/2 , ideas , nature , plans , sports No comments

This week we recommend you a unique and very fun experience: 4x4 routes. If you like nature and adventure sports, we encourage you to explore breathtaking landscapes with your own 4x4 vehicle or with a group arranged by your travel agency.

The main tips of this plan are: respect the nature, plan very well the route- if you and your friends go alone, there are many forums about routes that you can read, be adventurous and eager to have fun.

If this is the first time you carry out a route of this type, the best that you can do is to use internet to inform you, e.g. in a forum where you will get recommendations and easy routes near where you live, and some tips for each route, for example, what is the best season to do it?, or even when a route is not passable?. Will also provide driving directions and warnings.

Basic Lessons are:

Arrange the route well in advance, and read opinions from people who have already made that route;
Check the weather;
Make ready your vehicle before the route;
Take a GPS;
Keep the radio or mobile with enough battery;
Comfortable clothing and shoes;
Some food and water;
Carry a small first aid kit;
Travel solely for paths, respecting the private property and avoiding, whenever possible, cross rivers;
Drive slowly without making noise;
And of course, enjoy the most the nature, people and traditions that you will know.

And to encourage you even more here we leave you some photos of our last 4x4 routes

Autumn - One season and five plans

07:21 01 Events , Autumn , Events 1/2 , ideas , plans No comments

We are right in the fall season, and the red and ochre colours fill the streets, and even houses, because it's time to start lighting the fireplaces, softly, not to heat the home, but only because we feel like it, because we are in Autumn and we enjoy those romantic and warm orange tones that only fire of fireplaces or candles is able to provide.

This is definitely one of our favourite seasons, when it is not still too cold in the streets and you can still enjoy fantastic walks outdoors. So we recommend you to go out to enjoy some route through small towns that you have near your town, “armed” with your camera on hand. Discover incredible colours that will give you the feeling of being in a completely different place where you had been in another season.

There are many things you can do there:

1.- Go to gather mushrooms. If you do not know how to discern which are edible and which are not, you can use them to decorate your home and enjoy mushrooms in a restaurant of the area.
