Are you packing your bags?Looking towards Southern Europe? The right choice. Here you will not only have a good rest, but also significantly improve your health. For those who have already traveled the Mediterranean coast, we wish you a carefree vacation, and for the rest, we offer a short overview of the features and attractions that await you in the chosen part of the world. Let's start with the fact that Southern Europe is rich not only in sunshine, but also in a number of hospitable countries ready to welcome your tired body and soul for a rest. You can enjoy delicious olives in Greece, sunbathe in Cyprus, visit a fascinating bullfight in Spain, admire the picturesque landscapes in Montenegro or replenish your wardrobe in noisy Italy. No less interesting to visit are Bosnia and Herzegovina, Albania, Macedonia, Croatia, the Vatican, Malta, Slovenia, San Marino, Serbia, Monaco and Portugal. Where exactly to rest is up to you. But before leaving, do not forget to read reviews concerning the country you are planning to visit, and most importantly, about the customs that the local population adheres to. Because the golden rule of a tourist is not "the customer is always right", but "respect other people's traditions, and your vacation will be like a fairy tale."
The climate and population of Southern Europe
But what really reminds one of a fairy tale is this:amazing Mediterranean climate, which Southern Europe is famous for. In summer, the average air temperature is +25 degrees Celsius. But if the stern bosses have not spoiled you with a summer vacation, do not be upset. The countries of Southern Europe will please you with warm weather in winter. The mild climate does not allow the arrow of the street thermometer to fall below +8 degrees Celsius in the winter months. As you can see, this is a real blessing compared to the harsh Russian snowstorms and frosts. Often we are so tired of communication and people in general that we ask travel agencies for vouchers not to busy resorts, but to any uninhabited island. Of course, Southern Europe will not provide you with such a service, but there are sparsely populated states there. For example, San Marino, where, according to statistics, only 30 thousand people live. But where you will not be able to hide from passers-by is in noisy Italy. And it is not at all about the stormy temperament of the inhabitants of this state, and not about the fact that the hot climate drives people out into the street, but about the fact that 61 million people are huddled on the peninsula. However, judging by their cheerful faces, the crowdedness does not bother the population at all. On the contrary, they are always ready to provide shelter to tourists from any country.
sights
Of course, you might be confused by thishospitality, but its roots are not even in the upbringing of the southern people, but in the soil itself. It is so fertile and generous that its fruits are simply impossible not to share. And there is much to admire. Southern Europe is very rich in intricate vegetation. Here you will find slender cypresses, strawberry trees, olives, and centuries-old stone oaks. This list can be continued indefinitely. The mild climate allows the population that has filled the countries of Southern Europe to collect a royal harvest and prepare the most exquisite dishes. This will be our next point in the story, since it is simply impossible not to stop at Mediterranean cuisine. The hostesses of any southern state, with the dexterity of a magician, put on the table such intricate appetizers and desserts that one can only guess about their ingredients. Although we advise you not to rack your brains over the definition of the ingredients, but to enjoy overseas delicacies. Moreover, they will not harm your figure at all. Now half of our readers will angrily start remembering Italian pasta and pizza. Yes, these dishes are also on the list of delicacies that are cooked in the south. But pasta in Italy is made exclusively from durum wheat, and pizza is served on such a thin and crispy dough that sometimes it seems that you are eating only the filling. In addition, look at the main population of this noisy state. Italian women are as slim as cypresses, but, nevertheless, they are ready to eat pasta three times a day (probably, the favorable climate improves metabolism). So how are we worse than them? But we go to Southern Europe not only for signature pasta, right? The Mediterranean coast is rich in architectural monuments, so we advise you to make a list of places worth visiting in advance. This could be romantic Venice or the famous Prado Museum located in Madrid. You will certainly be interested in folk dances performed by the indigenous population of Andorra, the Sistine Chapel of the Vatican or the Oceanological Museum of Monaco, which was once headed by Jacques-Yves Cousteau. In a word, there will be something to see. The main thing is to have free time and desire. And Southern Europe will find ways to not leave you indifferent. We recommend reading:
