I fear that I never tire of writing about Paris…

And this report seems too tasty not to be shared: the location is the 56 th floor of the tower Montaparnasse, recently renovated, where he arrives just 38 seconds thanks to a lift supersonic. Many installations and interactive audiovisual welcome visitors to discover and understand Paris: galleries of photos, computers, multimedia shows on the history of the towers world wide, quizzes, movies about cities and diagrams guidance.

But this is not just rise to 200 meters from the ground to admire a beautiful landscape… The first Monday of every month, the bar Espace 56 hosts an evening devoted to tasting wine and the wine dating from 19.30 to 21.30, prenotandosi and paying 35 euros, so you can savor the aromas of wines chosen for the evening, including there is always a champagne.

If you think that taste good wines from admiring Paris enlightened may be of interest to you, remember that the next meetings are set for the day: June 16, September 1, October 6, November 3 and December 1.

The island of Boipeba, the Archipelago of Tinharé south of Salvador de Bahia, is an oasis of peace and tranquillity. The connoisseurs of the area describe as “Morro de Sao Paulo 10 years ago, when tourism still had not arrived en masse.” And in fact the island is pristine, between the ocean and the river Inferno, its beaches are expanses as the eye can see white sand and palm trees and the prices are very accessible.

It can be visited as excursion from Bahia or Morro de Sao Paolo and you can decide to spend an entire week to find a dimension of life completely linked to the rhythm of nature, in the company of its 1,500 inhabitants. The walking is an activity for by oziosi tourists that attend, as the excursion to the village of Moreré. One of the most succulent is the restaurant Guido, on the beach Cueira a few kilometers on foot from the country, where you eat lobsters delicious.

For the lazy staying at Posada Santa Clara, there is always a given library of books that draw for oziare on the beach or just read sull’amaca garden. Charles and Marc are the owners and entertainers of this posada where the restaurant is unanimously considered the best in the area!

If you are planning to spend summer holidays in Spain, perhaps making a stop in Barcelona and live in central Italy, the new link Ryan there might come back very useful.

The airline lowcost, from July 2, 2008, will open three weekly flights from Perugia to Girona (Barcelona): Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, departing from Girona to 14.45 and from Perugia at 16.50. Less than two hours of travel to go from green to Umbria capital of Catalonia.

The rates seem rather convenient…
For example, starting from July 9 and returning on 21, the ticket costs only 64 euros per person (excluding baggage of course!).

From the Guardian, we point out that today in Venice part of a common inviting tourists and Venetians drinking fountains by the public. Nearby Piazzale Roma will be distributing a kit containing an empty bottle and a map with the location of 122 fountains throughout the city.

The invitation is to fill the bottle with fountains without fear, chemical tests printed on the label of the bottle it should reassure the faltering. But above all, the recommendation is to use the same bottle during their stay and not to disperse the plastic after use. If you believe that almost 20 million tourists visit each year, the city… seems a sensible!

Bella verò? This is the beach Itacarezinho, only one of the beautiful beaches you can attend if you have the good fortune to reach Itacarè, in the Brazilian state of Bahia. I do not think, and then just go on the official site of Itacarè, browse photos of its beaches (Concha, Resende, Tiririca, Costa, Ribeira, Pontal, Coroinha, Sao Jose Prainha, Syriac, Jeribucaçu, Engenhoca, Havaizinho, Itacarezinho, Serra Grande) to realise that this part of the world was kissed by luck.

Luck may take different forms, such as that found at the point where the rainforest meets the ocean, that of having been for centuries the den of pirates British and Dutch and then agricultural area for the cultivation of cocoa, or that he saw the first route that the collegasse with the rest of the country only ten years ago, making it possible to preserve up to the present day this corner of paradise.

The area, despite begins to be known for tourism, still maintains the size of a small town of about 20,000 inhabitants, dedicated to fishing or tourism. Here one comes to enjoy the beauties of nature, thanks to a series of sporting activities that can be practised within the large protected area near the town of Itacarè. If the tourists “normal” perhaps not yet know Itacarè and its beaches, surfers from all over the world know the beach Tiririca, where he takes a leg of Brazilian championship surfing. Eye however, which is suited only to experts.
