Learning Spanish in Guatemala is popular and some places are well-known for it. But if you want to remain fairly off-the-trail, Xela is the place to go. A large chunk of Guatemalas tourism revenue comes from teaching Spanish to travellers. Its not like its the only Spanish-speaking country on the continent, but a number of factors make it a number one choice.

Last comes the Oceanographic a complex of smaller structures that loosely resemble giant seashells, grouped around and across a water reservoir. Oceanographic is a marine park, with thousands of species from all marine ecosystems of the world.

Sporting an entire paradigm shift in travel, inviting you to the future, not the past, the City of Arts and Sciences of Valencia should really have been selected as one of the New Wonders of the World.

Yet, curiously, throughout this process a strong Valencian cultural identity emerged in, once again, the City of Contrasts. The locals see themselves as an ethnic kingdom within Spain. What is spectacular, though, is that here the traditional is still very much in fashion, preserved mainly in music, costumes, customs and fiestas. A good third or so of Valencia proudly sports regional costumes (said to be the most colourful in Spain) and music on even the smallest occasion. That includes a lot of youth. Here, it is still cool to be traditional in the 21st century.

Western Europe is such an ultimate travel destination that anything worth seeing has already been triple-packed. It is practically impossible to find a place that has major attractions yet has retained its innocence. And, out of all countries, Spain the place where annual tourist head count overtakes that of its residents is a very unlikely candidate for such location.

The red rocks of Isla Guadalupe blazed in the morning sun, a clear sky welcoming us after a stomach-churning 14-hour crossing. Lapping waves and the cries of fur seals on the nearby shore were the only sounds to be heard one hundred fifty miles from the mainland. The water roiled as foot-high fins sliced the surface like a knife through cerulean silk. It was a perfect day for a dive.

The Megalithic Temples on the islands Malta og Gozo, dating from 5500 years ago, are the oldest free standing stone structures in the world. These temples there are much older than the Pyramids of Egypt and Stonehenge, and their secrets are still well hidden. Previous year I explored the temples Hagar Qim and Mnajdra on Malta, and now it was time for me to explore the two temples of Ggantij on Gozo.

The Azure Window, a table-like rock over the sea, is one of the most amazing natural wonders of the Maltese Islands, and its particularly spectacular during winter when waves crash high inside the arch. The Inland Sea, and Dwejra Bay itself on Gozo, were created millions of years ago when two limestone caves collapsed.

When the end comes, not everyone is ready to go! This slogan is from the movie Apocalypto. It`s about the decline of the Mayas. Actual is a fairytale story based on some parts of historical incidents in the Maya culture. It`s definitely not meant to be a documentary even it`s very convincing in both the story and action scenes. The movie started the discussion again about how the Maya culture was and what happen to the Maya Indians when they vanished.

Antigua is the cultural centre in Guatemala. Its full of beauty and charm! The richness lies in the creativity of its native population, especially when it comes to their skillful weaving of carpets and traditional costumes. We had a memorable experience admiring the towns colours and architecture, observing massive volcano peaks, attending the largest festival in Central America - Semana Santa, touring around on endless greens stretches, and enjoying Antiguas brown treasure, the towns delicate coffee.

Finally I saw the light! It was like an apocalypse for me entering the discotheques in Riga! I was both blended and fascinated by the colourful flashing lights. Sometimes I got the feeling of floating around in space with twinkling stars all around me. Few things are better than getting lost in an inferno of lights, music, dancing and drinking. I realised soon that the city was more lighten up in the nights than in the sunniest days.
