Stay in Madrid (Part 3) - Novelist (Miguel de Cervantes) and Architectures

This is the statue of the famous novelist, Miguel de Cervantes.
Photographer: ME!

The 2 statues in front of him is the characters from his famous novel, the adventures of Don Quixote. Statuettes of Don Quixote (left) and Sancho Panza (right)

Heard that its a very good read but a very literature book. Not too sure if they have it in English though. You can search out the bookstores for it if you are interested.


Below are just some other architectures i came across on the road that i find that they look beautiful.

Stay in Barcelona (Part 2) Montserrat Hill

Journey up the Montserrat Hill, also known as the Miracle Hill. From a far you could see this rocky hill that stood out from all the other hills in the land.


At the halfway mark, we took a stop to take photos so this is me and my mum! =) We are on the hill already so we could only see the surrounding of other hills.

This is the views towards the top of the hill, what you see look like a seabed but it is actually very very dense cloud!

The view is breath-taking right! wait till i reach the top! Scenic view~

Then we visited the church of Mary that was built because they found a statue of Mary on this mountain and no matter how they try, they could not transport the statue down the hill and therefore they built a church here to hold this famous statue of Mary know as the Black Madonna and the church is known as the Virgin of Montserrat.

Below is the image of this Black Madonna (Photo credit to Wikipedia) as we were not allowed to be taking photos in the sanctuary.

Want to take a look at the view without the clouds and some other features on the hill? In fact according to the guide, this is his first time seeing the clouds so dense and beautiful, in his 20 years of bringing people up this mountain! Miracle is coming! =D
