What is the most fashionable ski resort in Spain? This is Baqueira-Beret, a resort where the Spanish king rests in summer, and in winter, skiers go crazy on slopes of all levels of difficulty. To ski, you don't have to be limited to Austria or Switzerland. You can also go crazy in the snow in Spain, especially when your legs will lead you to the resort considered to be the most prestigious ski resort on the Iberian Peninsula, i.e. Baqueira-Beret. It is located in the beautiful valley of Val D'Aran, in the heart of the Pyrenees. In winter, skiers from all over the country come here, while in summer the resort is visited by the king of Spain himself.

Skiing in Spain, Baquiera-Baret

Skiing is an exciting and exhausting sport, especially when we give our best on the slopes. It is worth preparing for it - especially if we are usually not very active. What should you think about when you plan to go skiing for the first time in the season (or for the first time in your life)? Winter sports instructors warn against overloading the body, which may result in a decent soreness the next day. It should be remembered that while skiing, the muscles of the whole body work - not only the legs.

Before you put on your skis, i.e. warming up on the slope

Two projects - seemingly similar, because in both cases the starting point was the idea to replace permanent walls with fabric. But the effects are extremely different. Opera and Markies are two design concepts that allow you to look at caravanning differently. A caravan, however large it is, will always turn out to be too small during a longer stay at the campsite . In terms of size and comfort, it would probably be better to rent a tourist cottage, already equipped with all amenities. What if you imagined a house on wheels? Small, two-room ... It could also have a glazed terrace.

The winter temperature in Norway is not spoiling, but it is worth considering a trip to Oslo at this time. I have been twice in the winter periods (in November and December) and I highly recommend Scandinavia at this time. It is enough to pack warm clothes in a suitcase and you can enjoy the beautiful Norwegian winter. If we also get sunny weather, we will not feel cold at all. If Norwegian preschoolers spend their days outside, so can we!. Walking around the city there is a lot to warm up. At the royal castle, on the Christmas market, you will find metal baskets with burning wood, in the port - a tipi with a fire inside, and in front of each restaurant you can drink coffee under the radiators. Interestingly, coffee in a restaurant in the port, which is the most expensive district of Oslo (and one of the most expensive in Europe), costs the same as on the market in Krakow !.

Oslo is not that bad in winter

The Costa Brava has been attracting tourists with its resorts for years. The beaches are beautiful, the sand is loose and golden, and the bays are perfect for diving. Lloret de Mar has all these advantages - and much more. Lloret de Mar on the Costa Brava is a popular Spanish city, known to Poles, among others, due to the quite controversial series. Hardly anyone has heard about the meat hedgehog and the adventures of their compatriots relaxing in the resort, although for many admitting it would be as embarrassing as being caught tapping to disco polo music. However, it does not change the fact that Lloret de Mar is one of the most attractive resorts on the Spanish coast and that we will meet many tourists from Poland there - not only in winter.

We have described modular camping structures on Camprest.com several times. But the Swiss RoomBox beats most of the available solutions. Thanks to this system, we can turn almost any car into a camper - in 10 minutes!. What is the uniqueness of the Swiss RoomBox? Contrary to appearances, there are many distinguishing features. At first, it may seem like a system like any other. Each box contains camping accessories , such as a sink, faucet, water tank, heater, etc. But usually a given system is designed for a specific car model. So modules that fit, for example, the Renault Kangoo, will not be useful in the Volkswagen Golf.

Tenerife is the largest of the Canary Islands. It offers its guests loose sand from the Sahara, the possibility of watching dolphins, a trip to the stratovolcano, as well as juicy fruit and aromatic spices. Winter in Europe does not let go - unless in Poland, where it gave up already at the beginning of the season. The society has divided into those who are overjoyed that they can finally go skiing or even make a snowman with their whole family, and those who fantasize even more about holidays in warm countries. The latter can move in their mind to sunny Spain and find themselves in their imagination on the beach of Tenerife. In January, the temperature in the largest of the Canary Islands reaches around 20 degrees, so it is not hot, but it is pleasantly warm.

To the beach in winter - Tenerife

For some, winter is the time they would like to sleep like a bear, for others it is the time when they live more intensely than in summer, especially when they love the snow that squeaks under their boots. In winter, you can observe an increase in the number of patients of plastic clinics who undergo treatments to be beautiful for the holidays . For them, this is the time when you can transform from a duckling to a swan. Regardless of how we intend to spend the winter, it is definitely worth using this time well, and not vegetating prosaically, counting down the days to holidays.

It's a waste of time for diseases!

A holiday at the Austrian lake Millstatt is a guarantee of a wonderful holiday surrounded by nature. One of the many advantages of the reservoir is easy access to the best ski resorts in Carinthia. Austria has something to tempt tourists. It hides many amazing places, one of them is the beautiful lake Millstatt (Millstätter See), the deepest lake in the country and the second largest lake in Carinthia. It covers an area of 13.3 km² and is named after the town on the northern shore. Its history is interesting – according to the legend, Saint Domitian threw many pagan figurines into the water. In Latin, "mille statuae" means "a thousand statues".

Below we present an interesting movie straight from Australia. Can I go into difficult terrain with a trailer? It turns out that it is. The reinforced structure, aluminum walls, double glazing, specially tuned suspension on powerful springs and large wheels allow you to move without fear also off asphalt roads. We write about the caravans used by Harry in the article about ELITE caravans .

A real OFF-ROAD caravanning

What will the caravans look like in the future? Do they even have a chance of becoming popular in a few or a dozen years? Young designers say yes! In an era where mobility is one of the most appreciated values, caravans are still needed, although the vision of what they should look like is changing. Designers from the Austrian studio Nonstandard created the concept of the Mehrzeller trailer. In their opinion, it corresponds to the spirit of the times and reflects contemporary trends in both lifestyle and architecture.
