Escapulario

Third largest city in Spain, it is known for its old buildings (Roman, Arabic and Gothic influences) and futuristic structures, several beaches and vibrant and cultural attractions... These are my top things to do in ... VALENCIA Tips: - The metro from the airport takes you fast straight to the city. - There's a lot to do, take at least 3 days, more if summer. - Buy the online pass for the city of arts and science, and do some research where to go. It's huge - The best the city offers is its people. Valencianos are super friendly and fun Thank #birthdaygirl @pauladolcet for the invite and #travelbuddy @gpassos for the company.

BEST SNACK: BUÑUELOS They typically consist of a wheat-based yeast dough, with sweet or savoury fillings, shaped into individual pieces, then fried. I had the mozzarella and prosciutto and it melt in my mouth. #cbtop8 #BestSnack #Buñuelos #valencia #Spain #foodporn #Nov2016 #top8 #traveltips #thetalltraveller #globetrotter #followingthesun #wanderluster #christianballestrin 🇪🇸 (at Valence City)

Not far from here, my great grand father left Veneto and settled in Brazil. When I was 19 I came with my family to visit and get the certificates to claim my Italian citizenship. Returning feels like coming home: the pasta, the vino, the gelato, the veneto dialect mia nonna used to speak to me. These are my top 8 things to do in.... VENICE Tips: - How many times in your lifetime you will go to Venice? Go in style and stay in that hotel, take that gondola, eat in that restaurant #lifeisshort - look for street signs when you are lost - avoid weekends, summer/ winter holidays to avoid the crowds and queues. Early autumn is the best time - if you land late at airport private water taxi might be your only option €120 for up to 4 passengers - skip Murano - in doubt, choose valpolicella Thank you #travelduddy @andreaplatania for the invite. #cbtop8 #Venice #Italy #Oct2016 #top8 #traveltips #thetalltraveller #globetrotter #followingthesun #wanderluster #bienale #christianballestrin 🇮🇹 @condenasttraveller @worldwide_luxury @theglobewanderer @fantastic_earth @wonderful.globe @theworldguru @ime.luxe @wonderful_location (at Venice, Italy)

BEST ACTIVITY: GET LOST The best way to explore Venice is by foot, discovering its bridges and corners. You might find yourself going around circles and stuck in a labyrinth, and that is the beauty of it. You will see the city from unexpected angles. #cbtop8 #BestActivity #Venice #Italy #Oct2016 #top8 #traveltips #thetalltraveller #globetrotter #followingthesun #wanderluster #christianballestrin 🇮🇹 (at Venezia, Italia)

BEST VIEWS: FROM WATER Gondola, vaporetto or boat. The best way to capture the spectacular Venezia views are from water. #cbtop8 #BestViewd #water #gondola #vaporetto #Venice #Italy #Oct2016 #top8 #traveltips #thetalltraveller #globetrotter #followingthesun #wanderluster #christianballestrin 🇮🇹 (at Piazza San Marco Venezia)

BEST VISITING TIME: LATE NIGHT Most tourists have now returned to main land and the streets and bridges are empty. It is dark, the city and the senses change. The sky is full of stars, valpolicella is kicking in and I hear and follow a sound.. what a surprise... la vita è bella!!! #cbtop8 #BestVisitingTime #latenight #piazzasanmarco #venice #Oct2016 #top8 #traveltips #thetalltraveller #globetrotter #followingthesun #wanderluster #christianballestrin 🇮🇹 (at Piazza San Marco Venezia)

BEST APERITIVO: THE GRITTI PALACE Aperol spritz time... at a palatial canal-side luxury hotel offering phenomenal Venice views on the terrace. #cbtop8 #BestApertivo #Gritti #Venice #Italy #Oct2016 #top8 #traveltips #thetalltraveller #globetrotter #followingthesun #wanderluster #christianballestrin 🇮🇹 @condenasttraveller @worldwide_luxury @theglobewanderer @fantastic_earth @wonderful.globe @theworldguru @ime.luxe @wonderful_location (at The Gritti Palace, Venice)

BEST SNACK: CICCHETTI Cicchetti are Venetian style tapas. Bacaro is the ancient local name for a place for a quick snack. These delicious appetisers should be accompanied with the local wine. #cbtop8 #BestSnack #Cicchetti #Bacaro #Venice #Italy #Oct2016 #top8 #traveltips #thetalltraveller #globetrotter #followingthesun #wanderluster #christianballestrin 🇮🇹 (at La Rosa Rossa)

BEST SUNSET: HOTEL MONACO Sit back, get a aperitivo and see the gondolas coming in and out, while the sun is going down. Secluded terrace with the Basilica Della Salute on the background #cbtop8 #BestSunset #HotelMonaco #Venice #Italy #Oct2016 #top8 #traveltips #thetalltraveller #globetrotter #followingthesun #wanderluster #christianballestrin 🇮🇹 (at Hotel Monaco & Grand Canal - Venice)
