Alcatraz, the prison’s most famous in the world, which lies on the bay of San Francisco, could soon become a prestigious luxury hotel. The project, labelled National Park Service, was created with the idea, but even more by, to take advantage of the growing demand of tourists and curious that every day crowd the bay, counts that each year the prison closed from ‘ 63, is the subject of visits for more than 1 million visitors.

Among other proposals, to give a new use to prison, is to transform it into casinos or in a restaurant or cafeteria to use and consumption of tourists, but are also considering other possible proposals. You do you think? I use give the historic Alcatraz? We are curious to hear yours.

Who knows the Greek islands, found to Nisyros the atmosphere that respiravano in Santorini 20 years ago. E ‘in fact a volcanic island and colors reminiscent of the beaches Santorini but still is little frequented by mass tourism. It ‘an island relaxed and relaxing, not reach 42 square kilometres and has 28 km of coastline.

The town’s main Mandraki, picturesque streets open onto squares obreggiate from trees where the locals gather in the evening for drinking, chatting and, why not watch television. The village has no beach and day is crowded by tourists who make the trip organised by the volcano nearby islands, mainly from Kos and Tilos.

To fully breathe the air of sonnacchiosa then, I suggest sleep in the nearby village of Pali, a few kilometers from Mandraki accessible by motor and the autostop. The port of Pali has a wide sandy beach, popular by the Greeks many of whom emigrated to the United States and return only in summer. Pali then hosts a marina for small boats and can accommodate vessels unloaded crates of fresh fish for restaurants and taverns in the area.

Mancora, the extreme north of Peru not far from the border with Ecuador, was born as a fishing village, but is evolving into tourist resort, after being discovered by surfers who have found excellent conditions for practising their sport ( and we hope the transformation does not affect too much the beauty of these places), as frangono waves of the Pacific, but also for the water temperature, which in summer (corresponds to our winter) at around 24 degrees.

We close of the equator, so that even in winter temperatures do not ever fall below 20 degrees, so these long sandy beaches always hosting tourists coming not only from Peru but also from neighbouring states. From Lima to get there with 18 hours of bus or 2 of air transfers.

Mancora is located along the Panamerican highway, the integrated system of roads that stretches over 25,000 kilometers dall’Alaska Chile, running almost continuously along the Pacific coast of the two American continents. Almost continuously, because even today there is a hole of about 90 km between 87 km between Panama and Colombia in an area of tropical mountain forest called Tapón de Darién.

And ‘George Clooney the “famous” that the majority of tourists would like to meet during the holidays. Well, George won first place in the preferences of those interviewed by the survey conducted on a sample of 5,000 respondents of which 1,000 Italians. E ‘already been crowned several times sexiest man in the world by People magazine and now we discover that Vip is the most desired community of travellers Tripadvisor. Who has chosen as preferred Vip leave even wants not only meet but would like to spend a vacation with him.

So, good news for touring the lakes of northern Italy, because Clooney seems to meet a desire feasible: you can spend some days in Laglio on Lake Como and hope to incrociarlo to the streets of the country. More complicated instead would appear to satisfy the desires of 11% of passengers who vote in second place in the ranking of divi most sought for the summer Johnny Depp. Who wins the crown side is Tom Cruise, divo yes, but definitely as companion umbrella does not raise any sympathy.

The waterfalls are called Snoqualmie Falls, and if there seem familiar it’s because, probably, you have seen in the series Twin Peaks. Since then, these waterfalls have become a major tourist destinations of those travelling in Seattle in the northwestern state of Washington, USA, which is only fifty kilometers.

The park is surrounded by a wildlife than two acres, where you can do walks in marked, a picnic, beautiful photographs of waterfalls (the terraces are also accessible for visitors in wheelchairs), and even marry. The area is open dall’alba and at sunset, the only restriction for pets who are not allowed.

The structure that you see at the top of the waterfalls (has been condonata?) Is the Salish Lodge and Spa, recently renovated, also the protagonist of Twin Peaks. The reviews that are on Trip Advisor, will provide a clear-dark; excellent position but perhaps too expensive (it’s a five stars) in relation to the service offered. From bear in mind for a possible honeymoon.
