Costa brava

The north eastern Catalan region of Spain can boast a magnificent destination in Costa Brava a region long neglected by tourism but that is beginning to change. The beautiful curving beaches on the Atlantic coast are inviting, affordable and closer than you think. Booking your reservations at a Costa Brava hotel can be difficult at  certain times of the year so planning ahead is necessary at peak holiday times of the year. For anyone visiting there is an endless list of activities to keep you busy here. On, over and in the water include para-sailing, hang gliding, fishing, tour boating, sailing, motor boating, water skiing, wake boarding and surfing, scuba diving and snorkeling. On land you can walk, run, bike, hike, site see, eat, shop, party and rest. A great destination with something for everyone. Costa Brave meaning rugged or wild coast is appropriate name the rugged cliffs tower over the beaches. Some towns in the region of Costa Brava have really gone all out to attract the tourists new hotels and renovations, shops and eateries and a variety of tourist attractions. Still there are the hidden gems tucked away along the rugged coast where it seems time has stood still and life is pretty much as it was one hundred years ago. renting a car is worth it even if only for one day to explore the back roads and catch the glimpses of the ocean from high on the cliffs. Also finding those hidden gems of villages where traditional foods and art work can be seen and purchased. Along these rocky coast you will find the Dali Gala Museum housing many works from the noted Spanish surrealist painter Salvatore Dali and Pablo Picasso museum. These and other artists frequented the area due to its beauty and remoteness in the early part of the 1900′s. Costa Brava is fun to explore and see.

Natesh.
Born and raised in Chennai, M. Natesh has a lively background to his lively present.  His father was a famous Tamil playwright, and  M. Natesh has a background in drawing dating back to when he was three years old.  His training was in visual art, which began in India, and moved toward European art schools for modern techniques, but Natesh rejected these in favor of the techniques in India which of course are also modern.  He combines his visual art background with his father’s theater work to make art installations.  These are very charged pieces, arguing political themes from a very insistent and articulate point of view.  His work is a fascinating entrance into art in modern Chennai.

New Railway Through Oxford

The first rail way system through Oxford, England, in just about 50 years will create not only a route to Bicester, but through London as well. Stations are being rebuilt in the cities that currently have stations as part of the expansion and renovation plan. The plan was made available for public viewing this week for the 200 million pound project. Chiltern Railway plans to and hopes to have the route between London, Oxford and Bicester up for service in 2013.

The company is funding the project, titled Evergreen Three, themselves, and along with the extension of services, many platforms already in existence will be rebuilt. This reconstruction will enable the trains to run up to 100 miles per hour on double tracks as opposed to the single track rails that exist currently. This means a lot of changes, for the better, for the commuters and companies that operate in and between these cities, including the retail business and Oxford hotel industry. The goal is to have at least two trains running on the hour, in each direction.

This plan provides many options that were not before available due to the limited runs. Direct links into the capitol will be provided wherein they were not available from some towns and cities before. The company opened up a discussion to the public, allowing views of the plan and opening up a dialogue with the public, those who will be using and will benefit from it. The public, the day to day commuters had already voiced their opinions, given their support. There will be many more meetings with stockholders and the public as the project gets closer to fruition and completion. The needs are being addressed and concerns are being heard.
