Good! here I'll tell you a little of what were these last two trips!
First we visit the vineyard Concha y Toro one of the most recognized families in the area, was a morning tour that included a tour of the facilities of the vineyard + tasting + a copy. And so it was picked us up at about 8 o'clock in the morning and we travel to the vineyard is about 40 minutes from Santiago in the freezer, as always, was full of Brazilians who also heh, as always, did not cross not a word! Ah if only one! one came to me for a cigarette but when I said they were armed first looked at me weird and then said "thank you" and left.
Returning to the vineyard Concha y Toro, one of the most important in Santiago de Chile, and one that most have tour, really very beautiful land, during the tour of the facilities one can see the old house more family and yard where they kept the wine, which became famous as the owner so you will not steal, its employees, the wines command the rumor that a part of its "bodegas" (not Use specific words because I do not remember) was the Devil, and as the town was very mob, believing they ate the "mailbox" and so he could be kept the good wine, much more of this vineyard is not is to say, the truth tasting, cabernet sauvignon that I flew probe head (I do not like red) and white probe Carmenere (if I remember correctly) was quite good, but left much to be desired (I'm most of Chardonnay). After
give us the cups, we were taken to Shop (as usual) and did not see anything interesting, since most of the wines they sold there are in Buenos Aires and even cheaper. The tour lasted no more than 1 ½ hours and in return ask that you leave in the central market, and it was. In the central market expected to see more small businesses with fresh seafood, but really all we saw were some restaurants and other businesses of fresh fish, disappointment hit me high, but even 4 businesses saw with Crab, Conger, demases very fresh seafood and Pacific Ocean. At noon we went to a restaurant recommended to us by the tour guide to Concha y Toro, the galleon. We went and we found amazing things, the letter was much variety of fish and shellfish and the TASTE is awesome fish or seafood to the base plate that I bought my house. Commission as a god, EXQUISITE, so I'd recommend you go to eat at this restaurant I remember THE GALLEON-MERCADOCENTRAL.
The rest of the day we spent at the Parque Arauco Shopping boludeando.
Next day we touch the trip to Valparaiso, Viña del Mar and Isla Negra, we left at 8 am and it is a journey of 170km, this was a private trip, so I had the opportunity of not having to socialize with other people, alone with my parents! (Which is enough heh).
First stop: Isla Negra "One of the houses of poet Pablo Neruda writer, to say? I love to see the environment where he spent his time an excellent writer, artist and person. Do not miss any detail and showed me a bit to where I wanted to reach. Some know that Pablo Neruda was a lover of the figureheads of ships and as a lover, collectors, and at home can be found in all environments ancient masks of different ships of the era. So also related objects ships since he was a fan of them, many models of ships in bottles or scale models of the same, but again is amazing how the construction of the house wanted to like a boat, small doors with curved roofs, SUBLIME .
Neruda had a large collection of sea shells and dried insects also at home, a lover of good pipes and Women! (Hence 90% of the masks are women). The tour was beautiful and we were the first to open the place, I felt like buying an official pen, but I have good photos of the outside of the house and that the internet would not let me get any because it considered MUSEUM.
To be honest did not read anything Neruda, but after visiting his home I brought some curiosity by his words, so soon I'll go buy a book from him.
The next stop is the city of Valparaiso and Viña del Mar, Chile's coastal cities, facing the Pacific, very few beaches and Valparaiso has an important port. It reminded me a lot to what would be Mar Del Plata, unless Valparaiso much of their city is at 44 hills, so imagine how it will be the view (I will upload photos. It is beautiful the beautiful house and you can see at Victorian architectural style houses of wood seem to be in Time.) Many but not
I have to say about it, just what I liked most was Neruda's house, the other two cities are cities at the end and I found him very special!. But I recommend you visit them they can smell the smell in the air, the fresh air of the Pacific Ocean really is another odor.
Well I have not much more to say about it, summed rather ALL, and any questions you have know they can ask me! I found either on Twitter, Facebook or here in the comments!.
Finally, I will leave part of the Requiem by John Rutter, who listens in the city of Santiago in the hand of the Sinfonica de Chile led by Maximiliano Valdez (the grbacion belongs to another) that I really loved it!
I hope you enjoyed the trip "mental" I'm trying to provoke them. Suggestions welcome
Adios
