1. Colossal Canyon

There’s more to the Fish River Canyon than its sheer size.

Atlas Obscura – Curious and Wondrous Travel Destinations

Fisherman’s House (“La Casita del Pescador” in Spanish) is a small “capricho” construction in the northern part of Retiro Park in Madrid. It was conceived as a personal whim of the king who saved Retiro Park. The house was destined to offer his majesty a place to rest and is located on the central island of a pond where, back in the day, you could even fish.

After the War of Independence, the park was badly damaged and was rebuilt by King Fernando VII. During this Renaissance, exotic and beautiful constructions such as the Persian Hall and Fisherman’s House were created. Isidro González Velázquez designed this house and surrounded it with a pond for anglers to enjoy. The house has a striking pinkish body, adorned with Pompeian-style paintings and frescoes and with niches, where Roman busts once stood.

This type of construction had its predecessors in the so-called 18th-century pavilions

Greece Becomes the Most Popular Travel Destination

The peak season on the foreign holiday market starts this week with higher-than-expected bookings, and with the number of passengers exceeding the pre-pandemic peak. The top list of package holidays among Hungarians is led by destinations in Greece, Turkey, and Spain, Világgazdaság reports.

The pre-booking season has already produced very good figures, and the main season is about to start, also promising record numbers. As it turns out, Greece tops the popularity list among Hungarians, followed by Turkey. The only reason that the Turkish Riviera came in a second place is that interest has slowed down after the earthquake in February, even though that region is also extremely popular with Hungarian travelers.

Ecuadorian cuisine is largely shaped by its abundance of fresh produce. Seafood and the plantains dominate the coast.

1. Locro de papa

A classic Ecuadorian potato and corn soup, usually served with cheese, corn and avocado.

2. Enceballado

Ecuadorians swear this soup is the ultimate hangover food. Usually made with albacore tuna, encebollado is a pickled onion fish soup.

3. Ceviche
