Travel Videos

The dancers of the Cubaldunes group used their waiting time in the Barajas Airport in Madrid in the best way possible. They had fun and so did those of us watching.

These travel videos tell short stories about people and places you might want to visit. You may never physically get there, but we hope the videos give you a flavor of who we met, what we saw and what we enjoyed.

Take a peak at Niagara Falls

Or visit the Badlands of North Dakota with us.

You’ll see spice seller Alexandro Romano. He happily offered a tip for a simple, delicious pasta dish that’s a favorite in Sicily and on the island of Ortigia where he has a stand.

In Madrid’s Barajas Airport, Ernesto Miari and members of the group Cubaldunes Salsa danced while they waited for a plane. Some people watched but the dancers didn’t seem interested in what others thought. From what we could see, they danced for pure enjoyment.

 

In Cagliari, Sardinia we watched a marching band play in a square below the castle.

On the island of Sant’Antioco off the coast of Sardinia, we found that locals fill up with wine, at the Sardus Pater enoteca, just like you do at a gas station. 

When we wandered a long a canal in Venice, a singer on a gondola stopped the tourist traffic. Everyone wanted to listen and take photos. 

 

You can find small coves in Sicily with sand beaches and only a handful of people. We took a short walk on Realmonte, Sicily 

On the island of Ortigia, off of Syracuse, Sicily, we saw a local man fixing his TV antenna.  Sounds sort of ordinary. But then you see that the antenna  faces the ruins of the temple of Apollo. So you have to wonder if Apollo put the hex on it.

In the Alhambra palace in Granada, Spain water played a central role in the architecture.  You hear the gentle sound of water running into the pools and waterfalls wherever you walk. The Nasrid sultans also used the water to feed livestock and water the gardens. Today, the water still comes up from the Dano River to the portion of the fortress called the Generalife and gets distributed through an aqueduct.

Fountains envelope the visitor in the beauty and tranquility of the Alhambra.

 

Down the hill from the Alhambra, we found famed guitar maker Francisco Manuel Diaz.
