This artical will give you a good idea of what is happening in Whitby and when. For all the latest up to date news, information and articles, log onto the Whitby website and even join a Whitby forum and have your say!

For many years, Whitby in North Yorkshire has been an extremely popular tourist resort because of its beautiful scenery and local history.

Recently, however, there has been a dramatic upturn in the towns popularity. Success tends to breed success and this has been the case with Whitby, which now enjoys one of the busiest events calendars of any UK seaside town. It is the jewel in the crown of the East Coast Holiday resorts.

The schedule of events obviously will change to some degree each year so I will give information on the major events which have taken place in previous years. These are very likely to recur again each year. For the up to date forthcoming events calendar for each year, use the link at the bottom of this article.

At the beginning of April there is the Whitby Fishing Festival a two week event to celebrate the importance of fishermen and anglers to Whitby. This is a hugely competitive and popular event. There are two more Fishing Festivals in Whitby later in the year in July and September.

Towards the middle of April, The Spirit of the 40s Weekend is a substantial event in Whitby. This event includes displays of military vehicles and stalls and usually a Gala Dance with reenactors in uniform. The Whitby Spa Pavilion complex and surrounding outside areas on the West Cliff are usually the venues for many of these events.

Towards the end of April, the first of two annual Goth events occurs, with Spring Goth Weekend. Goths from all parts of the globe descend upon Whitby town.

At the start of May, over the last decade, there has been The Whitby Gospel Music Convention which was set up by Paul Wheater and his late wife Jill, from Sleights. This event has become increasingly successful each year which, to a large degree, has been taken over by their daughter Lucy and a team of people to undertake the administration work.

Usually, in the first week of June, there is the Whitby Festival of 60’s Music at Whitby West Cliff Spa Pavilion.

At the beginning of July, Whitby enjoys its Northern Soul Weekend which is held at the Whitby Pavilion Theatre. It is an extravaganza of Northern Soul Music and Dance. Hosted by fine DJs and often in excess of one and a half thousand dedicated Northern Soul fans attend this very friendly event. For more details contact the Whitby Pavilion.

Towards the end of August, usually around the 20th, Whitby experiences the biggest event of the year by far, The Whitby Regatta, which is probably the oldest regatta in England. It is scheduled over three days with numerous events taking place like rowing races, yacht races, and many more events too numerous to mention, but there is an official programme each year. Quite often there will be special events like the Red Arrows display team flying over Whitby. There is also a funfair which stretches along the Harbour side and out onto the pier. On the last night there is a spectacular firework display, which is the climax of Whitby Regattas three action packed days.

Whitby Folk Week usually coincides with the beginning of Whitby Regatta, or follows on after the regatta at the end of August. It is a very lively event over seven days, with music and dance in the streets and public houses. It is a long standing celebration with usually well in excess of 600 events, concerts and general singing and dancing sessions. For all true music lovers, this is an event not to be missed in the beautiful setting of Whitby.

At the end of September there is the annual Whitby Country Music Weekend and also the 60s Weekend, both held at the Pavilion complex.

At the end of October there is the second of the twice yearly Whitby Goth Weekends, with most of the main events once again occurring at the Whitby Pavilion.

So, as you can see, this is quite an impressive list of yearly events in Whitby. For all the actual dates, including the small specialist events which occur in Whitby, Robin Hoods Bay and Staithes and all the latest up to date news, go to the Whitby website.

A brief list of places like this are the Roman Forum, Capiloline Hill, and the Trevi Fountain. Both the Castel Sant’ Angelo and the Colosseum are able to be viewed for free from the outside, but the Pantheon is free. There are many other attractions as well.

One the last Sunday of the month, the Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel are free and open to the public. Every church in Rome can be entered for free and there are many mosaics, sculptures, and paintings that can be seen. If you want to see ancient relics, or the bones of martyrs, they are among the things offered.

You can explore paintings by famous artists, Michelangelo, Bernini, and Caravaggio to name a few. Caravaggio’s paintings of the Saints Paul and Peter for example can be seen at the Santa Maria del Popolo. It is open the the public Monday through Saturday, from 7am-12pm, and again from 4-7pm. One sunday they open an hour later in the morning, but stay open until 1:30pm, and from 4:30-7:30pm. This is just a few of the many things that are free in and around Rome.

A bit on the creepy side, you might find the Santa Cecilia in Trastevere of historical interst. This is where poor Cecilia became a martyr and the Patron Saint of Music. Her enemies tried twice to kill her, trying not only to suffocate her in her own steam bath, but also by trying to behead her. Even after three whacks of the ax her head was not completely severed and the went on singing hymns for three more days before she finally passed.

Now, another reason people are often on a tight budget is because the spend so much money on accommodations, and food. Hotels are expensive, no matter what deals may be offered, and many don’t even include meals. Even eating at fast food restaurants can get expensive, and prices are often much higher in another country. This sucks down many budgets, where the money could be better spent enjoying the time they have.

For a real change, and a very reasonable alternative, you should try to rent a holiday apartment. These have many advantages over conventional lodging, the biggest being perhaps privacy. A holiday apartment has at least one bedroom, and in most cases up to four. They not only come fully furnished with all the comforts of home, but there is a full kitchen and all you have to do is buy groceries and cook. What better way to get to know the people of this awesome city than to mingle among them at one of the market areas? Now you will have a choice of dining experiences, and be able to pick a really nice restaurant if you want.

A holiday apartment can save you a lot of money over the length of your stay in Rome. Many hotels are well over a hundred dollars an night, but your holiday apartment can be much less than that. If you have four friends, and you all stay at one of the many apartments available, you may spend $1000 for a week. That comes out to $250 per person for the entire week!

In Rome you have so many places to visit for free. Take a look in to famous museums in the city and discover something about its history. In terms of Accommodation Rome the best option are Rome Apartments, Roma apartamentos,appartement rome

When you decide to travel to Iran, you will come across several tour packages offered by tour operators. Many of them have got land tours in Iran. There are reasons why this type of tour is preferred by the majority of tourists who visit this country. I will explain why such preference exists.

You Travel to Iran to See Countryside

People make a journey for various reasons including relaxation and taking the pleasure of looking at beautiful landscapes. We are not all living at typical type of terrain. Dutch people appreciate high mountains in Iran, Brits admire the deserts of Iran, Nordic tourists love the strong sunshine here and Arabs love the semi-Mediterranean climate at the Caspian Sea area.

By the way, I have just mentioned a wide variety of climates and natural attractions. It is true that you can find all such varieties in the countryside of Iran. So, make sure you include some of it to perfect your journey and enjoy the scenery as well as other sights and highlights offered to you when you travel to Iran.

See Rural Life during Land Tours in Iran

Culture-oriented tourists, who are the dominant kind of visitors to Iran, are enthusiastic about exploring some rural life in Iran as well as other attractions seen around villages like animal husbandry, farming fields, rural roads, vernacular architecture, lifestyle in remote areas, etc.

In culture tours, the point is not to stay in top hotels, visit museums and sights inside the big cities and fly between all cities. This gives you an artificial incomplete image of Iran that will always need a missing link to where the origins are. When you travel to Iran, you visit a country with thousands of years of history and numerous historical traditions rooted in successive ages handed over to next generation. So, land tours in Iran are the solution to experience such wealth of traditions for yourselves.

Explore Historic Monuments Outside Cities

People living in ancient times or previous centuries were not living only inside the cosmopolitan cities of today. They were everywhere. They had built roads and bridges, caravansaries, fortresses, watch towers, guard posts, etc. Even some abandoned cities of antiquities are now on your ways when you travel from town to town.

Land tours in Iran provide such opportunities for travelers to see such historic monuments in their natural locations and topographical situations. It will not be possible to experience all such rich attractions without driving across the country.

Visit Nomads in Your Travel to Iran

Migrating people are still maintaining their history-old lifestyle in Iran. When you drive between towns in this country, you happen to see the tents and animals of nomads living in certain areas. If you are in the right season, when nomads are migrating from high mountainous spots to low lands and plains in search for grazing fields for their animals, you will see them close to the roads.

It will be quite interesting to stop by and pay a visit to these people. You learn about the shape of their tents and the materials they use for making them, you sit on their hand-made rugs, talk to them in any kind of language possible (if you do not use a tourist guide), you notice how closely their lives are dependent on their animals, etc.

It is Just Out-of-Towns Attractions

What I have just explained in this article covers the tourist attractions outside cities and towns in Iran. As you travel to Iran, you see a lot more. Cities have got their own charming attractions as well. Land tours are important as they take you to the origins, but the combination of inside and outside towns will make your trip a memorable one.

Destination Iran arranges Iran travel packages with land tours included in them. Such tours to Iran are based on years of experience. You can find them at: http://www.destinationiran.com.

If Santiago Calatrava is Valencia’s pride, Antoni Gaudi is definitely his counterpart in Barcelona. Gaudi’s Barcelona architecture reflects the influence of nature-like forms in many of his works. His buildings seem like a silent, still but living life form on their own, with curved stones, twisted iron and colorful floors in mosaic patterns. Lauded by architects and designers around the world as one of the most distinctive style, Gaudi’s architectural contribution puts Barcelona at the forefront of Spanish and world architecture.

Designs by Gaudi

The Sagrada Familia or the Church of the Holy Family is an 1800’s design by Gaudi and is undoubtedly the largest and the most compelling of his works. This privately funded Roman Catholic Church began construction in 1882 and is not expecting completion until at least 2026. Gaudi has worked on this project for 40 years, devoting the last 15 years of his lifetime to the construction. Intended by Gaudi himself to be the last great sanctuary of Christendom, the entire Church is intricately designed with rich

Christian symbolism.

The Parque Guell, another Gaudi design, is an excellent place to relax, unwind and get an eyeful of Barcelona sights. Explore the park and see Gaudi’s home of 20 years - a quaint pink house sitting in the middle of the park’s lower portion. And even from this location, you’ll see a spectacular view of La Sagrada Familia.

Casa Batllo is a smaller and one of the earlier Gaudi buildings in Barcelona. Restored and remodeled by in 1905-07, this building is a design for a middle-class family in one of Barcelona’s more prosperous districts. Locally know as the Casa del Ossos or the House of Bones, the house does have the skeletal look and feel. Expect a queue if you come at busier times of the year.

Landmarks by Other Architects

The Torre de Comunicacions, Montjuac is an amazing contribution to Barcelona’s architectural masterpieces by Santiago Calatrava. From a distance, this building looks more like a giant sculpture carved out from a huge white marble rock. The Montjuac itself, the mountain between the city and the sea is a spectacular landmark itself, visible from most tall buildings.
A design by French Jean Nouvel Architects is one of Barcelona’s skyscrapers. This 33-storey building which opened in June 2005 has seen royal inauguration on September 2005 by the King of Spain himself. Because of its shape, this building is known by various nicknames, some rather suggestive.

The Camp Nou Stadium is home of FC Barcelona and one of the greatest football stadiums in the world. A UEFA five-star stadium, it has hosted various matches at senior levels since its construction in 1957. With an original capacity of over 98,000, the Camp Nou Stadium is easily the largest of its kind in Europe. Foster + Partners won the bid for the stadium’s ambitious 50th anniversary remodeling in 2007 which turns this already famous landmark to an even more prestigious construction.

Spend some time in the area enjoying all the incredible architecture. You can find some great holiday apartments that provide excellent accommodations while you are enjoying yourself in Barcelona.
