Glencoe Valley is a tourist attraction in the Highlands, for which Scotland has been famous for years. Over a decade ago, her landscapes served as the set of the next part of the saga about the little wizard - she became the star of the film "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban". In Scottish Gaelic, Glencoe means "valley of tears." The name can be explained in part by the topography of the valley (its slopes are very steep and angular) and in part by its history. At the end of the 17th century, a bloody murder of the villagers by the army of the English monarch, William III, took place there. Thus, the king took revenge on the population for refusing to take the oath of allegiance after suppressing the Jacobite uprising. Like the Katyn massacre in Polish-Russian relations, the Glencoe massacre has cast a dark shadow on relations between Scotland and England for many years.

More than 40 years ago, SEAT made a decision that changed the fate of not only the Spanish brand, but the entire Spanish car industry. In 1975, the SEAT Technical Center was established near Barcelona, which to this day specializes in the latest technologies that are used in the brand's models. This year, the SEAT Technical Center celebrates its 40th anniversary. This place "sketched" the whole picture of the Spanish automotive industry and gave rise to many modern technologies for four wheels. It is the source of the SEAT brand DNA and the birthplace of the Spanish automotive industry. Over the last 5 years, it has absorbed as much as EUR 1.4 billion of investments to design, create and build in an even more ecological and modern way.

"Good thing you don't know all the secrets of this house, otherwise you would never want to sleep under this roof ..." These are the words Count Strathmore said to Andrew Ralston during the conversation about Glamis Castle. The gigantic structure is considered Scotland's most haunted castle. Glamis Castle is located in the UK County of Angus, in the town of Forfar. It is a place close to the family of the English Queen Elizabeth II. Her mother (Elżbieta Bowes-Lyon) spent her childhood there, and her younger sister (Princess Margaret) was also born here. The building was immortalized in the pages of Shakespeare's play - the king was killed in "Macbeth" in the Duncan Hall.

Traveling with a child or children cannot be avoided. These are both short trips to school, grandma or the store, and long journeys, for example during holidays. Children tolerate driving differently than adults, and moreover, it is necessary to take greater care of their safety. Find out how you can ensure the comfort and safety of your child while driving. Traveling with a baby is inevitable. Usually we take our toddler shopping, to his grandmother, for a weekend outside the city and for a longer vacation. A vacation far from home means a journey that lasts for hours, during which we must provide the little passenger not only with an attractive time, but also with safety.

Little passenger in the car - take care of his safety

Can we speak of a monument when it was built from scratch, from ruins? When we talk about the monastery on Monte Cassino Hill, no one doubts that it is an object of great historical and cultural importance, despite the fact that it was reborn in the 20th century. During your vacation in the Eternal City, it is worth devoting one day to a trip to Monte Cassino, to the hill where a battle of great importance for Poles took place. After the bloody events of 1944, the cemetery where the soldiers of General Anders' group are buried, remained. For the rest of the world, Monte Cassino is home to Europe's most important Benedictine Abbey. It is also the place where "Ora et labora", or "Pray and work" - the rule of religious life, comes from.

An act of pure stupidity at Monte Cassino

For many decades, Swedish car manufacturers were famous for their indestructible turbocharged gasoline engines and their great concern for the safety of passengers . To date, Volvo's approach has not changed (the other Swedish brand - Saab - is struggling with huge problems), and the new Chinese owner of the brand has a lot to do with it. Cars with supercharged gasoline engines, contrary to appearances, are an excellent alternative to vehicles with diesel units. They not only offer more power and torque , but also emit much less harmful substances into the atmosphere . In the Volvo model range, apart from SUVs and regular station wagons, the S60 model is also suitable for us - caravanning enthusiasts. This classic sedan of the middle class, despite the less practical body, works exceptionally well during summer trips.

On the coast of Northern Ireland you can see something that will stop the viewer in half a step, opening his mouth in surprise. The basalt columns placed tightly next to each other create a landscape straight from SF movies from the 1980s. Anyone who watched "The Golden Child" with Eddie Murphy will know what we're talking about. There is a very original rock formation in the Irish county of Antrim. It is called the Giant's Causeway, or the Way of the Giants. Situated among the scenery of cliffs, it has fascinated artists for centuries not only with the number of columns it consists of (over 35,000), but also with the shape they formed. They froze in this form about 50-60 million years ago, and their formation is explained by the blow cracks that arose during the period of lava solidification.

Concern for road safety standards is an extremely popular pretext for creating new and new forms of disciplining drivers. Especially in Poland, it has become a kind of substitute for serious road modernization in the name of safety. While traveling around Poland, we have already got used to speed cameras and traffic officers equipped with popular dryers and unmarked police cars with video recorders. In virtually every commune, he or she may come across one of the above-mentioned devices in the moment of inattention.
