Tour of Spain and Portugal

Magnificent tours and holidays by the sea, sun and happy atmosphere in Spain and Portugal
There is no beach fun, no fun without music, there is no music without the warm Spanish hospitality. Andalusian and Costa region of a thousand faces, where the vacation is combined with a spectacular cultural aspect is that with the exuberance of the holiday. From the Costa to the Costa including islands, everything is illuminated by the sun, bordered by beaches of fine golden sand and topped off with cheerful and engaging atmosphere anywhere. The Balearic Islands, pearls of the Mediterranean in just over an hour’s flight from Italy, have all the colors of the holiday!

The pine forests that descend to the sea, the sea is gently introduced in the coves of extraordinary beauty, white beaches, the houses where time never notices to be late, amber faces constantly caressed by the sun perhaps the gold and silver will be the festive nights that are going crazy over the summer. And you know that to close the Canary Islands are at the same latitude as Florida?! Sea, palm trees, beautiful beaches and “nightlife”: an extraordinary cocktail of elements to just four hours flight! Almost enchanting climate Africa, but Africa is close not only in the climate of desert brush, eucalyptus forests, vast banana plantations, beaches, unexpectedly alternating one after the other.

Trekking to Everest Base Camp, trip to Nepal

Everest Base Camp is actually two base camps located in the Mount Everest. These camps are on opposite sides of Mount Everest. South Base Camp at an altitude of 5364 meters located in Nepal and the North Base Camp, at an altitude of 5545 meters located in Tibet. South Base Camp can be accessed only by trekking and supplies are usually transported Alyuda sherpas with yaks. The North Base Camp has vehicle access, at least in the summer months. This trip to Nepal and in particular Everst Base Camp has been one of my best experiences with a backpack. And not just because the place is reached, which both had read and had caused much intrigue me, but how to get there.

The most common form of this trip is to fly by plane from Kathmandu to Lukla at 2860m.  Once we landed there, the asphalt of the runway will be the last we see in several days: no more roads and tracks. The only thing ahead is a path of stones. A broken ground so that not even a mountain bike can get through.

From Lukla takes about a week to reach Everest base camp. The trek is not too hard in terms of kilometers of the stage, but it is true that there are ledges demanding and we must be careful with the altitude. It is very important to go slowly and stop two nights at about 3500m and 4200m roughly to acclimate well. Acclimatization is the process by which your body produces extra red blood cells to adapt to the reduced availability of oxygen is at higher altitudes.

When you do not acclimatize properly displays the so-called ” altitude sickness ”or altitude sickness. To avoid this, it is best to ascend very slowly (it is recommended not to sleep 600m higher than the night before) and hydrate a lot. A slight headache is a normal symptom. If pain increases or worsen symptoms (dizziness, nausea, vomiting, severe pain) it would be advisable to lose altitude until symptoms subside. Altitude sickness is not treated early can become pulmonary or cerebral edema, which often is synonymous with death.

Accommodation along the entire route is widely used through simple “lodges” or “tea houses”. Generally free and we paid slept for our dinner and our breakfast (about € 6 for both meals). If you pay the accommodation, prices range between € 0.5 and € 2 up (two people). You see, this is a really cheap trip. I also surprised by the friendliness of the people Serphos, always attentive and respectful.
