    Charles Aznavour- a famous French-Armenian singer (Ani-Armenia)

    Charles Aznavour was an Armenian-French singer, songwriter and actor. He is one of France's most popular and long lasting singers. His parents introduced him to the world of theatre at an early age. He dropped out of school at the age of nine, already aspiring to the life of an artist. He began to perform at this time, and soon took the stage name "Aznavour".
    His big break came when the singer Edith Piaf heard him sing and arranged to take him with her on tour in France and to the USA. Aznavours voice is shaded towards the tenor range, but possesses the low range and coloration more typical of a baritone, contributing to his unique sound.
    On 1 October 2018 it was announced that Aznavour had died at his home in the village of Mouris in the south of France at the age of 94.

    Hi! If you have the possibility to make a trip to Spain, I recommend you go to Vigo. It is located in Galicia, northwest of the peninsula.
    The only drawback is that it is preferable that you do it at Christmas, since it has some lights, statues, trees and more, literally amazing and magnificent. I visited it and thought it would be very boring, but in truth, it is worth it, because it is not only what you can find in the Christmas markets, but it is also a city with an incredible history and culture. . In addition, if you like fish, you are in luck, because in this city it seems infinite, although there is also a great variety of sweets, if that is what you prefer.
    Without going any further, it seems a must, because it is really magical for Christmas dates.

    I recommend Asturias because I think that is the best place to visit in España. In Asturias there are many mountains and beaches, Asturias is a place very rural. I love the vegetation of Asturias because there are many trees and therefore Asturias is almost whole green. There are many monuments and there is a very big and beautifull Cathedral in Oviedo, Oviedo is the capital of Asturias. The best of Asturias it`s the food because there are many types of meat and many types of fish. Pictures: www.iberia.com aacgi.blogspot.com www.telegraph.co.uk

    Segovia is a very beautiful place in Castilla y León. In summer there is too hot but in the winter it is freeze. The landmark of Segovia is the aqueduct, It is a roman construction to transport the water. It is 32 kilometres long and it is make by huge rocks. It is really incredible.

    Hi!
    Today I come a recomended you a little town of Asturias, Campo de Caso. It close to Laviana at 25 min aproximated. In Campo de Caso she live my grandmother, in her rural hotel. Campo de Caso is in the mountains, and you can see a lot of vegetation and animals. Its a good place torelax and have a good day

    Carlota, Laviana (Spain)

    The Project began in 1882, when Gaudi died in 1926, only a quarter of the basilica was completed. His last few year was dedicated to this wonderful Project.
    I think 150 years is a long time to build something, when La Sagrada Familia is completed, it Will haven taken longer to build tan the Egytian Pyramids, and only 50 years less tan the Great Wall of China, that´s pretty fantastic. If you have the oportunity to come to Spain, I recommend you to visit it, it is in Barcelona near of Andorra.

    Fuerteventura is an island on the Canarian archipelago. I went for the first time to Fuerteventura when I was four because my family and I went on vacation there. It is a volcanic island with wonderful beaches and great people. In there, you can eat a lot of fish and shellfish and try goat´s meat (one of the typical dishes.) I have good memories from those times; doing tourism, being on the swimming pool or trying new activities. You can do windsurf, scuba diving, some tours and a lot more of things but, most important, relaxing. So, yeah, if you want to have an amazing holidays and also do fun activities you should definitely go to Fuerteventura!
