Stretching between the beaches of the Costa del Sol and Costa de la Luz and the mountain peaks of the Sierra Nevada, Spanish Andalusia is one of the most fascinating regions in the world. It was desirable for centuries - by Phoenicians and Ottomans - today, thanks to their presence, its cities and towns are full of traces of the heritage of these ancient cultures. Andalusia is also a region with character - in the evenings, the streets and restaurants are ruled by fiery flamenco , which is tapped out with the heels of women and men dancing in memory. Each holiday in Andalusia means that we immerse ourselves for a short time in the world of music, open mountain spaces and singing that accompanies people living here almost at every step. So if we go on a journey through this amazing region, we must be ready for one thing - it will charm us forever!.

Slovenia is one of the least known and still relatively rarely visited Alpine countries. It is small, even intimate, and from its capital - Ljubljana - you can get to the other end of the country in just a few hours. Holidays in Slovenia are, above all, an encounter with unbridled mountain nature and ancient history, firmly rooted to this day in the local tradition. The first thing that catches your eye after landing or arriving in Ljubljana is the surprising contrast between history and modernity at almost every step. The streets of the old town that run in all directions are lined with modern buildings - no wonder, despite the rich history dating back several thousand years, Slovenia is today a rapidly developing European country.

Hot Italian summer invites you to spend a carefree holiday in the homeland of Dante, Leonardo da Vinci and ... the best cuisine in the world. However, like many other friends, I started this year's vacation plans in sunny Italy by asking myself a serious question: do I really want to choke in queues to the Colosseum again, watch tourists posing in the same pose under the tower in Pisa or, What's even worse, being stuck in the traffic jams of Naples? The answer was: in life! Therefore, at the beginning of July, I set off for the turquoise waters of Sardinia, one of the most fascinating islands in Southern Italy . Here, surrounded by sandy beaches and "littered" with massive granite rocks, I was about to spend a dream and long deserved vacation - in the quiet and mesmerizing province of Gallura in the north of Sardinia.

Most places in this country have become so popular with mass tourists that people looking for an opportunity to learn about French culture and history have difficulty finding places that are still "not trodden". One such place is the Midi-Pyrenees region. Although it is one of the largest in the country, it cannot boast of magnificent palaces - but it will surely delight with medieval Qatar castles. It is also a region for those who like to explore new places from the inside - literally and figuratively. Where should we start our vacation in the Midi-Pyrenees so that we can spend our time there as interesting as possible? Certainly in Toulouse - a city that once inspired artists, and today ... aviation engineers!.

The slogan "vacation in Croatia" has been illuminating the faces of tourists for over a decade, chasing the sun and having fun. And it is hardly surprising - the Balkan culture, known for its eternal readiness to play, toasts and sing, perfectly meshes with ours. Therefore, just like our parents in the early 1990s, we also always land on the Adriatic in the height of summer and the hottest heat to vent the energy accumulated all year round behind our desk. Since we have visited all the Balkan cities, forts and remains of Roman cities over the years, we decided to spend this unique summer not on classic sightseeing, but on exploring the secrets of the sea depths.

We stood on the port coast of Trieste, breathless with delight. Before our eyes, Friulia Venezia was awakening from a night's sleep - one of the most charming corners of Europe. Trieste was on the route of our Italian journey for a reason - this ancient port was for centuries one of the most important metropolises of the continent. This is where East and West met. Closing our eyes and listening to the sound of the waves of the Gulf of Trieste, we heard the crackling of the boats that landed here, carrying on board innumerable riches - gold, silk and precious spices. Opening our eyes, we saw an equally impressive panorama - hundreds of stylish yachts and catamarans mooring opposite Barcol, an elegant seaside boulevard and one of the city's icons. Everywhere we looked, Trieste surprised us with the splendor of architecture that is the legacy of two powerful empires: ancient Rome and the 19th century Austro-Hungary.
