Feria de Atracciones de Navidad (2021)

Visiting Valencia for Christmas is great and even gets better in the evening. The city itself has a great flair and I really enjoyed my walk from the Estacio del Nord train station towards the harbour for a visit at the local Feria de Atracciones de Navidad – a very large Christmas funfair. Highlight of course was of course  the S.D.C. built variant of the classic Jet Star 2 design by Anton Schwarzkopf, along with the second ever built Reverchon Hang Glider Ala Delta for showman Bañuls or the very exciting Stand-Up Enterprise. 

Aarhus

Together with my friend Jikang, I went to Aarhus for a small city trip. Originally it was my plan to visit Tivoli Friheden with him, to probably try their SCAD Tower – a very unique drop tower, where you experience freefall until being catched by a net. Unfortunately – or best for both of us – it started to pour like crazy. We went on and spend our time in the city itself. Aarhus is quite nice and I really enjoyed the roof top terrace on their large department store which gave a very good view of the city. 

El Castell de Guadalest

Guadalest is a village very popular with tourists on the Spanish Costa Blanca. Declared a Historic-Artistic Monument in 1974, the village is divided into a castle district and the El Arrabal district. There are many small stores with handicraft products and numerous museums. Through the Museo Municipal Casa Orduña you can reach the Mirador del Calvari viewpoint and the nearby cemetery. From both places you have a breathtaking view of the nearby reservoir and the nearby surroundings.
