West Balaton is an attractive region for tourists, thanks to not only (but mainly) the beautiful lake, which is the largest water reservoir in Central Europe. Mud Lake, as it is called Balaton, each year attracts crowds of holidaymakers who want to enjoy all the attractions that are associated with a stay by the water. For Poles living in the south of the country, it is closer to the "Hungarian sea" than to ours, the Baltic Sea. At the same time, Lake Balaton is relatively close to the border with Croatia and Slovenia, so it is easy to get the impression that we are almost in the south of Europe. A little more and we will be welcomed by the Mediterranean Sea.

LMC - a German manufacturer of motorhomes and caravans, decided to surprise its customers for the new season, and at the same time cause a little stress on its numerous competitors. In 2017, the popular Breezer Lift model will be offered fully equipped as standard. How do you get your customers' attention when the competition is so fierce? LMC has more and more strong arguments. The basic one is the fact that currently all caravans and campers of this brand are marked with the Long Life Technology symbol. Behind this name is a modern, although more and more commonly used construction, from which wooden elements have been eliminated and laminates were used, including GRP . On the other hand, polystyrene was replaced with polystyrene foam ( XPS ). As a result, we get a vehicle with good insulation, and at the same time resistant to moisture and hail.

Holidays in Spain are mainly associated with relaxation on the beach and parties in crowded resorts. However, this country is not only sun, sand and passionate dancing - it is also beautiful, although a bit harsh mountains and green valleys, the bottoms of which are leisurely carved by rivers with gentle curves. This is the perfect camping spot in Spain . Such landscapes can be found in the heart of Spain, not far from bustling Madrid. The capital of Spain, the pearl of the Castilian Plateau, attracts tourists all year round, tempting with a multitude of attractions. It would be difficult to get to know them all in one day, even if spent very intensively. Because you also need to see the Royal Palace, take a walk through the Sabatini Gardens, and look at the buildings surrounding Plaza Mayor, the former heart of the city. It is worth paying attention to the architecture of Madrid's main street, Gran Via, the end of which is crowned by Plaza de España with the statue of Don Quixote and Sancho Panza.

If not Madrid, then what?

If you like spending time outdoors and you have no qualms about spending the night in a tent or directly in the open air, cycling may be an interesting form of recreation for you. This unique form of travel has clearly been gaining in popularity in recent years, which may, at least in part, be influenced by the growing selection of bicycles and bicycle accessories, which are very useful during longer trips outside the city. Therefore, it is worth considering which bike will be the best for cycling and what is worth investing in preparing for this type of trip.

The Carado is the best proof that you don't need a huge number of models to count on the touring car market. Among the vehicles of this German brand, we can find as many as 15 different variants, but the basic models are only two - with an alcove and with a low roof. Carado cannot boast a long history. The production of motorhomes of this brand started in December 2006 in Neustadt and from the very beginning was carried out under the auspices of Erwin Hymer Group, which currently includes as many as 16 different brands.

Les Orres is a small but very picturesque French ski station. It is located in close proximity to the village of Embrun, in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region. The proximity of Lake Serre-Ponçon and the surrounding larch forests, combined with the gradually increasing number of well-prepared ski slopes, ensure the station's interest in tourists. It is approximately 1,860 km away from Warsaw. By car, this distance can be covered in approximately 20 hours. When planning a vacation in Les Orres , you need to be prepared that it will be difficult to take advantage of all the attractions offered by the resort. There may simply not be enough time for it. 101 km of slopes of all levels of difficulty await skiers - gentle and easy in the lower parts of the mountains (making it an ideal ski resort for beginners) and demanding in the higher ones, including the red Grand Cabane running between forests, almost 6 km long. There are smaller slopes at Les Orres 1800 , ideal for driving lessons. At an altitude of more than 2,000 m above sea level, there are ambitious routes that should not be used by people without experience. It is an area of quite long routes, mostly red, running from the mountain ridge to the station itself. While hiking on Clos Deguis, Bergerie, Boussolenc or Myrtilles, apart from the next sips of adrenaline, you can focus on admiring the valley with its villages and the mirror of Serre-Ponçon Lake. It is better to concentrate on the most difficult route of the resort, the famous L'Horrible ("Terrifying") or the black Pousterle, which is used in organizing international competitions. In addition to the ski runs served by 22 lifts, the station offers an ice rink, a toboggan run and a snow park with a boardercross track, snowmobile riding, paragliding and climbing frozen waterfalls. There are also restaurants and pubs, the resort also has a disco and a cinema.

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. So, if we are planning to spend our next vacation in Slovenia, it is worth visiting places that will allow us to touch both the fascinating culture of this country and come face to face with wild nature.

The new model of the SpaceCamper brand called Light-Open will pleasantly surprise people who are primarily looking for smart solutions in a motorhome. Although the Volskwagen T6 is not a giant, it has quite a lot of camping equipment on board. However, it is not about the quantity ... While in semi-integrated motorhomes it is more and more difficult for manufacturers to go beyond the developed standards (which is why their vehicles differ less and less), in the case of motorhomes, designers are still showing off their creativity . Organizing a small space in such a way as to enable a comfortable rest for a family of 4 is a real challenge, but it seems that the German SpaceCamper has managed to cope with it.

Alicante is a Spanish province that attracts millions of tourists every year. People from different countries come here tempted by the vision of relaxing on the golden sand of beaches grazed by turquoise water. It is also eagerly visited by those in love, who are waiting for a lot of charming nooks and hidden coves. But with all this, Alicante also has something else to offer, equally attractive. It is difficult to say which of the beaches of this part of the coast should be crowned with the most beautiful. La Granadella , located in the northern part of the Costa Blanca, twice awarded the title of the most magnificent beach in Spain, can certainly stand in the competition. Rocky, yet popular among sunbathers. Diving and snorkeling enthusiasts also like it - the water is not only warm, but also crystal clear, which makes it easy to see shoals of colorful fish sneaking over the sea grass. In summer, the beach is crowded, so it's best to go there in the morning to be able to count on a vacancy. In the morning, it is also worth going to Levante beach - getting off early in the morning will reward you with a wonderful sunrise that can be admired there. It is a beach popular with fans of water skiing, sailing and paragliding. Together with Benidorm's second beach, Poniente , it enjoys a warm microclimate provided by the mountains, protecting the bay from cold wind blows. Families with children like El Portet , a beach in Moraira, hidden in a cove sheltered by cliffs. You can see Peñon de Ifach, a characteristic rock rising out of the water near the Calpe resort. The water here is calm, clear and joyfully blue, so children can splash safely in it. The same is true of Santa Pola , a beach located next to traditional fisheries. Its bars and restaurants are famous for their fish dishes.

When traveling to Masuria, you will have an amazing adventure, meeting not only interesting and beautiful nature at any time of the year, but also a land rich in its history, full of monuments and undiscovered secrets. Mikołajki, called the Polish Venice, is one of the most attractive tourist places in the region, mainly due to its location, between Lake Mikołajskie and Tajty, on the route of the Great Masurian Lakes. In the summer you can hear traditional shanties here. Due to the fact that it is one of the main shipping junctions, you can come across many amazing sailing stories here. The location between Ryn and Pisz, Giżycko and Ruciana Nida makes this seemingly small town extremely "bustling" in the season. Hence the rich tourist offer where everyone will find something for themselves.

It must be amazing - to stand on the shore of the European land, knowing that you are standing in front of a huge ocean, immeasurable amounts of water, and the nearest dry land behind it is the American continent stretching far and wide. This water is the Atlantic Ocean, and the European land on which we stand is the rocky cape Pointe du Raz, located in Brittany, in the north-west of France. Brittany is a picturesque region full of romance, a bit mysterious and raw. Capricious when it comes to weather. With a Catholic tradition deeply rooted in history and culture - pilgrimages, indulgences, a large number of regional saints, countless chapels and stone roadside crosses, as well as calvaries (sculptures carved in stone). Holidays in Brittany will be a great time for lovers of the countryside and green areas (including pastures), party people may be rather bored. There are many tiny towns in the region that look as if time had stopped there. Tourists' eyes glide with pleasure over stone houses decorated with flowers hanging from balconies and window sills.
