RUTA DEL FERRO - Iron road

                                        Iron road of the Pyrenees. A cultural itinerary of Europe

This Ruta del Ferro is a easy walking trail starting just few kilometers from were we live. It is a nature walk along a small river and on the side of this walking trail there are many artist that has express their own ideas about iron...At the end of the first part of this route there is an old iron mine as well

As you can notice the bottom of the river is looking all rusty, due to the iron in the stones and soil

DESIGN HOTEL IN MILANO

A week ago when I was visiting Milano with my friends, one of them had made a booking for one night at the NHOW Milano Hotel. A real designers quarters. Here is the photo of the drive way to the hotel...Very promising already...

This is the room door, it looks like a real tagging, the corridors are painted in black and the atmosphere is really dark.

The entrance hall is huge and the place is a real  heaven for colour therapy. Most of the furniture are made of plastic and the huge chandeliers too...

                               I took these photos while eating my lunch at the hotels restaurant

I told you colour therapy, as you sit on the coach like this you feel happy straight away...
