Recently intimate, today it is one of the largest centers in Switzerland. The charming Arosa is a health resort for tuberculosis patients and a tempting place with 225 km of great ski runs. If someone is planning to spend a week or two-week skiing holiday, he will probably consider large resorts, "merry-go-rounds" and resorts offering hundreds of kilometers of ski slopes. However, if he only has a short weekend at his disposal, paradoxically, he has more choices. Why? Since in such a situation it is unlikely that you will be able to check all the slopes of large resorts, so you may also consider going to a smaller, more intimate resort. He has a chance to fall in love with small but picturesque towns, not as crowded as crowded and fashionable resorts. He can also find a golden mean and go to a resort placed at the center of the list of famous mountain resorts. A good choice in this case is Arosa - a Swiss resort located in the canton of Graubünden, in the Rhaetian Alps, a few hours' drive south of Zurich.

At the point where Europe and Africa meet, we can start or end the adventure with the exotic. Tangier awaits us, the gateway to a hot continent, separated from Europe by the sea by 14 km. During our trip around Morocco, we will drink a tea with mint cooling the body in many places. However, if we would like to drink very sweet and strong coffee, we should visit Tangier. The city is at the same time the gate through which we enter the country and the center where we say goodbye to it. Sitting at a table overlooking the Strait of Gibraltar, we can admire the contours of the Spanish coast outlined in the distance. We are only 14 km away from Europe by the sea.

Economical but reasonable. On vacation, we can waste money or save on everything. We can also approach economics wisely and thus ensure a successful holiday. The title sounds perverse - for good reason. Certainly, we have come across exactly the opposite advice on the web, about how to organize an economic trip, how to spend as little as possible, and at the same time have a great vacation and come back with a lot of memories. Of course, these are very reasonable tips, making it easier for us to experience the holiday in an interesting way, but without having to pay off the loan later. With the fact that some, wanting to save as much as possible, go to extremes, denying themselves everything and turning the trip into a torment for themselves and their loved ones. The thing crashes into the famous golden mean, so desirable and often so difficult to achieve.

How NOT to save on vacation

Snow, frost and aromatic mulled wine under the open sky? Baked sausages, cotton candy and Christmas trees decorated with baubles? We will meet them in every major city, at Christmas Markets. We can spend the pre-Christmas time devoting ourselves to Advent reflection or visiting Christmas markets scattered all over Europe like stars in the sky. In every big city you will find at least a few of them, and each of them spreads around not only the aromas of meals served outdoors, but also of aromatic mulled wine. Above all, it offers a wonderful atmosphere of the upcoming holidays each day.

Thanks to Christmas markets, winter in the city does not have to be boring, and December time does not have to be filled only with waiting for Christmas Eve. You can feel the holiday atmosphere much earlier. Many people are irritated by the quick exchange of candles for Christmas trees and baubles, which takes place in supermarkets practically in front of our eyes. As soon as November takes the place of October, the shops can hear the lively notes of Christmas hits, and the closer to the second half of December, the more often we hear Christmas carols instead of famous songs. However, there is something that subtly introduces a festive mood, not in the interiors of shopping malls, but in the open air. These are Christmas fairs organized each year in many Polish cities.
