It has no tricks. It has no superposition. It's no secret. It has no tricks. Manuel Luís Cochofel > MIND DA GAP! I had been to the play With my pearl of a Peri - But, for all I could say, She declared she was weary, That "the place was so crowded and hot, and she couldn't abide that Dundreary." Then I thought "Lucky boy! 'Tis for YOU that she whimpers!" And I noted with joy Those sensational simpers: And I said "This is scrumptious!" - a phrase I had learned from the Devonshire shrimpers. Stefan Rohner > Lourdes (France) In the heart of the Pyrenees, Lourdes receives 5 million visitors from all over the world every year. Spirituality, whether belonging to history or legends, is part of the present through the depth and beauty of the sight, the marks of the past, the serenity of the Sanctuaries. Lourdes was just a small market town on the 11 February, when Bernadette Soubirous met, along the Gave, the “Lady” that made the town a Marian city. Today Lourdes has the second greatest number of hotels in France with 270 establishments. Its geographical position, at the foot of the mountains makes it an ideal starting-point of excursions to the Pyrenees. Daniel Navarro > Subway Subway, Furtive glances, encounters, stories to be told in each stop, in it we are always exposed to our loneliness...
