Portugal tour: Porto - Lisboa - MADEIRA

Madeira è un'isola magnifica, dista solo due ore di volo da Lisboa, ha poco a che fare con il portogallo di Porto o lisbona, è un posto completamente differente, molto più tranquillo, naturale e pacifico.
Il volo non ricordo quanto lo pagai ma ho volato con easyjet, ma vola anche TAP, la compagnia di airlines portoghese. Nei giorni che ho trascorso qui ho alloggiato in una residenza universitaria,vi erano sia turisti che studenti erasmus. La camera aveva il bagno privato e il frigo, la cucina era in comune e vi erano anche altre stanze come quelle degli snack o quella del "convivio" che sarebbe  un salotto, con tavolo, televisione riviste.. L'alloggio si chiama: Residencia Universitario Nossa Senhora Das Vitorias, in Rua Santa Maria, 253, la residenza si trova infondo alla via, ma la via è in una posizione abbastanza centrale, per quattro notti ho pagato 52 euro, mi sono trovata molto bene qui. In cucina ho conosciuto diverse persone come due ragazze tedesche che amavano il tracking, una ragazza che studiava in università lì e due ragazzi che venivano dal Messico. Ah, nella sala del "convivio" ho conosciuto due ragazze francesi loro non le ho conosciute più di tanto.

Funchal è collegata alle altre città dell'isola tramite un'ottimo servizio di trasporto pubblico in superficie, per muoversi nella stessa Funchal ci sono anche tre cabinovie (in portoghese si chiamano "telematico")
Per andare in areoporto ci sono sia i bus pubblici (il biglietto costa circa 3 euro) e bus leggermente più veloci Areobus, che costano 5 euro.
Non ci sono spiagge a Funchal, ma soltanto scogliere, per arrivare alle spiagge bisogna spostarsi in bus.

Madeira island is magnificent , is only a two hour flight from Lisbon , has little to do with the Portugal Porto or Lisbon, is a totally different place , much more tranquil, natural and peaceful.
The flight can not remember what I paid but I have flown with easyjet , but also flies TAP , the Portuguese airline of airlines . In the days that I spent there I stayed in a university residence , there were both tourists and Erasmus students . The room had a private bathroom and the fridge , the kitchen was common and there were also other rooms such as snacks or that of the " banquet " that would be a living room, with table , television, magazines .. The accommodation is called: Residencia university of Nossa Senhora Das Vitorias , at Rua Santa Maria, 253, the residence is to instill the street , but the street is in a fairly central location for four nights I paid 52 Euros , I found myself very well here. In the kitchen I have known several people as two German girls who loved the tracking, a girl who was studying at the university there and two guys who came from Mexico. Ah , in the hall of " feasting " I met two French girls they do not have known that much.

Funchal is connected to other cities of the island by an excellent public transport service in the area , to move in the same Funchal there are also three cable cars (in Portuguese called " telematics " )
To go to the airport there are both public bus (the ticket costs about 3 Euros ) and slightly faster Areobus bus , which cost 5 euro .
There are no beaches in Funchal, but only cliffs, beaches have to move to get to the bus.

Portugal tour: Porto - LISBOA - Madeira

A Lisbona sono arrivata dopo essere stata a Porto e sono ritornata dopo essere andata a Madeira.
In questa città ho alloggiato in due diversi ostelli:
-Larexport- Chile, 12 euro a notte, è sistuato in Rua Edith Clavell 15, la fermata della metro (linea verde) è Arrois, diciamo che non è proprio in centro e la zona non è delle migliori e tranquille comunqye mi sono trivata davvero bene, la signora che si occupa della gestione dal pomeriggio alla notte è super gentile e simpatica, in questo ostello si respira un clima molto famigliare, lo consiglierei a tutti i viaggiatori soli, qui potrebbero davvero trovarsi a proprio agio.
-Poi sono stata all'ostello Residencial Mar dos Acores, 11 euro a notte, si trova in Rua Bernardim Riveiro, 14, la fermata della metro è Picoas (linea gialla) preparatevi perchè usciti dalla metro c'è da camminare!

Lisbona è molto ben collegata con l'areoporto, trovo inutile sprecare soldi per i taxi, si può prendere la metro (capolinea linea rossa) ed arrivare in centro in una ventina di minuti, il biglietto costa circa 1,90 € non perdete il biglietto perchè serve per uscire dai passanti, lo stesso vale per il treno!

I arrived in Lisbon after being in Porto and I came back after going to Madeira.
In this city I stayed in two different hostels :
- Larexport-Chile , 12 Euros per night , Rua Edith Clavell site is set in 15 Metro Station (green line) is Arrois , we say that is not right in the center and the area is not the best and quiet comunqye I really trivata well, the lady who manages the afternoon and night is super friendly and nice, this hostel is an atmosphere very familiar, i would recommend it to all travelers only , here could really be comfortable .
- Then I was at the hostel Residencial Mar dos Acores , 11 Euros per night , is located in Rua Bernardim Riveiro , 14, is Picoas Metro Station ( Yellow Line ) ready because you out there is to walk!

Lisbon is very well connected with the airport , I find it useless to waste money on taxis , you can take the metro ( red line terminus ) and get downtown in about twenty minutes, the ticket costs about € 1.90 do not miss the ticket because it is used to exit from passers-by , the same goes for the train !

Casa del mutilato, Milano.

Per la giornata di primavera del FAI ( Fondo Ambiente Italiano) nel mese di marzo sono state aperte al pubblico diverse strutture a Milano e non solo. Io sono andata a visitare la Casa del Mutilato in via Carlo Freguglia 14 (raggiungibile con filobus n. 94).
Questo palazzo attualmente è costituito da uffici, in origine è stato costruito per volere di Lorenzo Secchi. Il giro all'interno di questo edificio è stato guidato da persone volontarie che spiegavano la storia di questo prezioso bene culturale. Quello che maggiormente mi ha colpito è stato dopo l'introduzione delle crocerossine, la mortalità dei feriti di guerra è diminuita del 40% ciò sta a significare che queste donne oltre a dare aiuto e cure infermieristiche riuscivano anche a ridare forza e speranza a uomini sconvolti da un mondo di armi, morti e violenza.. Il prossimo marzo, in occasione dello stesso evento del FAI consiglio a tutti gli italiani in primis, e a turisti che si trovano a Milano di visitare questo patrimonio storico, perchè qui si riesce a respirare un passato che in molto abbiamo in comune.

For the day of the spring of FAI (Italian Environment Fund) in March were opened to the public several facilities in Milan and beyond. I went to visit the House of the Mutilated Via Carlo Freguglia 14 ( reached by trolleybus . 94) .
This building currently consists of offices, was originally built at the behest of Lorenzo Secchi. The tour inside this building has been driven by people who volunteer explained the history of this precious cultural asset. What most impressed me was after the introduction of the Red Cross , the mortality of war wounded has decreased by 40 % this means that these women as well as giving aid and nursing care could also give strength and hope to upset men from a world of guns , death and violence ..Next March, during the spread of the event do you recommend to all Italians in the first place , and tourists who are in Milan to visit this historical heritage , because here you can not breathe the that all or most of the past we have studied only on the books.

Bergamo, Lombardy, Italy


Bergamo, in Lombardy very close to Orio al Serio Airport, located less than an hour away by train from Milan, you can take the train to the central station (green line of metro) and from there go in this town. Bergamo is divided into Upper Town and Lower Town that is the most similar feature an old village, you will find several old buildings such as the Cathedral, the museums, Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore, the Colleoni Chapel and several squares. 
I would recommend this to anyone other than the city has ever seen, if only for a day, or in milan tourists or travelers who travel Orio al Serio. Below you will find some pictures taken in this city.
