Thanks to a healthy influx of tourist, the region offers plenty of villas, cottages, apartments and mountain lodges along its geography. In fact, vacation homes in the Principality are considered the most comprehensive, friendly and best price / value throughout the Spanish state, so it is not unusual to see so many people (usually elderly and pensioners) extend holiday in place for several months or even choose to set a permanent residence in idyllic village at the foot of a mountain or the sea.

Asturias has something for everyone. If you love the exotic beaches, go to the beach where apart from Ballota serenity, find things colorful as the local market, a unique cuisine based on cheese of all kinds and a vibrant nightlife with bars and cafes that vary from local Asturian typical contemporary design.

Somiedo Nature Park is a nature reserve that has an incredible variety of flora and fauna. In fact, this is one of the favorite places for bird watchers as Somiedo is in a prime location on the migratory route of birds flying from northern Europe to Africa for the winter. You can also see huge flocks of spring birds resting on the opposite route to fly north for the summer.

Asturias has something for sports enthusiasts and adventure. There are a variety of activities ranging from classic surfing and body boarding in the Cantabrian temperamental little publicized to allow diving and snorkeling to see a complete marine life including large mammals such as dolphins and whales on their migratory routes.

The sea offers a spectacular backdrop for paragliding and boating shorts which may include some fishing session if it is in season.

If you’re a golf fan, Asturias has that perfect balance of good weather and sufficient moisture to keep almost naturally excellent conditions for practicing the sport for most of the year. When the golf courses of world class UK and France are under the snow, the circuits in Asturias are in full bloom.

Red Frog I leave in the morning in a small boat to Bocas. In the tourist information office tell me the best way to reach Panama City across the channel, and leave determined to do it. A Grand Final for my trip!

I continue to Almirante in another boat and a taxi from the pier near me to the bus departing for David, a journey of about 4 hours, crossing the mountains.

The last week has been frantic. Crossed Nicaragua and Costa Rica in one breath and you begin to burn as many hours on the road, but seeing the positive side, there is only one more stop.

I leave David at 2 pm with no time to eat anything because the connection is very fast. Among the icy blast of air conditioning that I like on the neck, lack of food and accumulated miles and I start to feel really bad cold coming. The trip would be bearable if the lady who sits next to me to control his body, but it is not.

A lump of meat spreads slowly but surely from the bottom of your armpit and thighs to my seat and not to be printed against me. Their language has its own life and for the next hour I swelter in the wonders of Chiriqui, Panama province the best by far in all directions. If you have the only volcano in Panama, that if the cattle country, if the peoples of the Andes are the most beautiful, but above all its people are the nicest by far (including that to her armpits and thighs fleshy because to me these are quite rude to me.)

They are the worst moments of my trip. I’m sticky, cold sweat, my chest is burning, I have hungry and want to kick your ass and send the old Chiriquilandia center.

At 5 pm we stopped in Santiago to eat and my partner says goodbye because Chiriqui arrives at its destination. Justice. Today I 9 hours traveling, but I have a full stomach, I can sit freely in my seat and I only 4 hours before my next destination. My moral begins to rise.

At 9 pm occurs. I’m in the Pan American highway on the bridge of the Americas across the Panama Canal! The detail locks up or down or in and out by two different oceans will leave it for the next adventure.

Getting off the bus I expected a smile of joy and relief back is my sister.

The gay community is very wide and at night there are many clubs and bars that are perfect for the community. Everyone is welcome here at all times.

The capital of Gran Canaria is known as La Palma and it is the biggest city there is in that island. There you will be able to find bigger “fiestas” at all times because it is always filled with people that are looking to have a good time. The city of Puerto Rico, which is also in the island, Gran Canaria is perfect for families because it is much more calm. The restaurants and bars are fun but there is a family air that you will probably not see in the other cities of Gran Canaria. Gran Canaria has everything for everyone and there you will not be dissapointed on what you can find either for party with friends, your lover or with your family.

The landscape of which we speak, gives us so photogenic desert expanses, and can offer a sea of red sand dunes, oriented in a parallel from south to north in a static mode. This is the field of parallel dunes longest in the world, with heights of up to 30 meters. Among the most famous dunes is Nappanerica or Big Red, literally a red sand monster 40 meters.

Go on an excursion Simpson desert, we can lead by cliffs, sandstone cliffs, but also, rock sculpture, pending the Aboriginal art in scattered communities in areas such as Titjikala and St. Teresa. The desert is in a park area in summer is closed for reasons imaginable: the unbearable heat. Will be in winter when they visit between June and August. To do this, there are no roads to allow cross, but roads used by vehicles 4 × 4.

Both the flora and fauna is scarce, only shrubs that still resist and some herbs, reptiles, mammals and birds endemic. Among the most popular places to visit, named it the ruins of Dalhousie Springs, Purnia Bore wetlands or Poepp Corner, the junction point the state of Queensland, South Australia and Nothern Territory. With the Simpson Desert tours, we enter the deepest heart of Australia.

Before I was 20 I was a veteran world traveler takes the limits of adventure and was ready for more. But I thought even back then there was a fly in this ointment. I had to do with the anecdotal evidence or what I observed in “real” world. Adventure was not as simple as buying a ticket and go somewhere.

Many people I knew would go to exotic places and are not made at all. Part of this was his means of transportation, lodging and the other party thinking. It is something like: ‘Wow, let’s see and do, but do not lower the hair is not interacting in ways that are not culturally comfortable for us. Summary: We are going to travel, but we will not experience.

So I met the travelers who had no wiser world that my neighbor across the street who never leaves the county.

But, hey, do not be surprised if you find out who started a little late. 20 years after taking youth trips I took another trip. The woman and her son spent the summer down on the farm in Veracruz, but I had to stay in California for work. During that period, I removed ten days to drive up to Canada. It was the first trip I had taken myself in 20 years.

But it was the same. Never auto-stop. I had a car and a motorcycle. I had a credit card and not just some well budgeted cash. I stayed in a hotel and not once had to sleep on the floor or on the beach or on the floor to someone in the kitchen. Even back before my 10 days was over. On each trip I had taken again was always late getting back home. The reality was that it was not the same person who was 20 years ago.

If you are young, make your adventure as soon as possible. Do not listen to those who say that everything we should do is study and work. There will be plenty of time for that, but the adventure is a fragile thing and not something that can be postponed forever. Over time, you can lose.

In fact, if you’re lucky as if I were you find someone who will tell you how much I regret not venture out when they were young. Now, many middle-aged men my age are obsessed with trying to find the adventure before he died. They left the university to the company and finally, in the fifties and sixties adventure and can do whatever they want. Good luck. If they had done their adventures when they were younger it would not be so stubborn and obstinate and angry and frustrated. strong push to start the adventure. . .

But I also met people who were having a fantastic adventure while never leaving their communities. So much for the adventure that is only found in exotic places. I met many different types of people for whom every day was an adventure. If your day was anything but adventurous, adventure did. They could have jobs and live in communities and boring, but they have families who were always so enthusiastic about life and adventure that could hardly stand it.

What they do is create and customize your own adventure and become engaged by him. For them, every minute is pure joy in the celebration of being alive. They’re too busy being grateful to complain. They’re too busy being humiliated to be presumptuous. They understand that the best gift a man can extend the friendship and the here and now is the greatest gift of nature. What worries me?

I came to understand that they spend a hot night of Morocco in Rabat as he lay awake drenched in sweat in my hotel bed. I had been inside and got a nasty case of amoebic dysentery, diarrhea, fever, chills and everything.

I worried that I was a teenager with little money and very sick in a foreign country so far from home. In fact I did not worry at all. I knew it would be fine. I was going to survive this test, and anything else in the future.
