Tourism off the beaten path: Haiti

by The Lady | posted in: America, Haiti, Travels | 30

Tourism off the beaten path has been very fashionable in the last few years. Alternative locations, untouched nature, no crowd nor queues, discovery of the real local life are becoming more and more attractive activities.

Haiti is no country for old men

Haiti is no country for old men

by The Lady | posted in: America, Haiti, Volunteering | 4

The average life expectancy in Italy is around 82 years, in the US is only slightly lower. In Haiti is around 64, the lowest of the entire American continent. Crossing the border to reach the other half of the island, the green Dominican Republic, gives you about 10 more years

🇬🇧 The Church of the Holy Trinity in Hrastovlje is 🇬🇧 The Church of the Holy Trinity in Hrastovlje is completely covered in frescoes, every wall, column, arch and ceiling. It is an extraordinary work, recently restored and nicknamed “the comic strip of the Bible”. The frescoes date back to the 15th century and the most famous is the Danse Macabre (or Dance of Death), a procession of figures from all social classes presenting themselves before Death. My favourite is the rock man trying to bribe the skeleton that walks with him 💀 The small church, moreover, is surrounded by additional medieval defensive walls, which the local inhabitants used as protection against Turkish invasions.
An interesting detail concerns the name of the village, Hrastovlje. One theory suggests that the settlement already existed when the valley formed part of a pilgrimage route to Jerusalem. This route was called the “Way of Christ” or “Cristovia”. From this came “Hrastovia”, and eventually Hrastovlje.

🇮🇹 La Chiesa della santissima Trinità di Hrastovlje è completamente affrescata, ogni di muro, colonna, arco e soffitto. Un lavoro pazzesco, recentemente restaurato e soprannominato "il fumetto della Bibbia".
Gli affreschi risalgono al XV e il più famoso è La Danza Macabra, una processione di figure di tutti i certo sociali che si presentano davanti alla morte. Il mio preferito è il ricco che cerca di corrompere lo scheletro che lo accompagna ☠️ La chiesetta, tra l'altro, è circondata da altre mura medievali, che i paesani usavano come protezioni contro le invasioni turche. 
Curiosità sul nome del villaggio, Hrastovlje. Una delle teorie dice che questo villaggio esistesse quando la valle faceva parte della via per il pellegrinaggio a Gerusalemme. Il percorso fu chiamato "via di Cristo" o "Cristovia". Da qui "Hrastovia" e quindi Hrastovlje.

🇬🇧 "Más bonita que la flor del higo pico" (more be 🇬🇧 "Más bonita que la flor del higo pico" (more beautiful than a prickly pear flower) is a typical compliment from the Canary Islands. Hiking from Masca to its beach, you encounter a rich vegetation of palm trees, sugar canes, aloe and, of course, plenty of prickly pears.🌵 What is more beautiful, the view or the flower? 🌸
🇮🇹 "Más bonita que la flor del higo pico" (più bella del fiore del fico d'india) è un complimento tipico delle Isole Canarie. Durante la discesa da Masca alla sua spiaggia si incontra una ricca vegetazione, fatta di palme, canne da zucchero, aloe e l'immancabile fico d'india! 🌵 Cos'è più bello, il panorama o il fiore del fico d'india? 🌼

🇬🇧 the Spanish town of Cuenca is a little jewel in 🇬🇧 the Spanish town of Cuenca is a little jewel in central Spain. The old medieval city center is perched on the top of the hill, with narrow cobbled streets and steep stairs. The highlights are the "hanging houses", known since the XVI century. There are only a couple still standing, but their balconies suspended 70 meters  over the cliff are truly impressive! 
🇮🇹 La cittadina di Cuenca è un vero gioiello nel centro della Spagna. L'antico centro storico medievale è arroccato sulla collina, con stradine ciotolate e ride scalinate. L'attrazione principale sono le "case sospese", conosciute fin dal XVI secolo. Me rimangono solamente un paio ancora in piedi, ma i loro balconi sospesi a 70 metri sullo strapiombo sono davvero impressionanti!

One of the most iconic and bizarre views is the lava flow cutting a road. On the left side, a couple of houses were spared. On the other side of the lava flow now lies a sea of black rocks.
🇮🇹 Il nuovo vulcano Tajogaite in La Palma. Nel 2021, 3 mesi di eruzione ininterrotta ha distrutto paesi e creato nuova terra. Una delle cose più impressionanti, è una strada attraversata dal flusso di lava. Sulla sinistra, alcune case si sono salvate. Oltre il flusso di lava c'è solo un mare di pietre nere.
