Cardona is a city located 90 kilometers from Barcelona, which gained fame and influence in the Middle Ages due to the richest salt deposit – the famous Salt Mountain of Cardona.

In addition to the Salt Mountain, Cardona is also famous for the eponymous fortress Castell de Cardona, founded in the IX century and towering above the city on a high hill. Currently in a once formidable fortress is a 4-star haunted parador hotel. The historic city center is included in the list of cultural heritage of Spain. Of particular note are the old Romanesque cathedral church of Colegiata de San Vicente, the church of Parroquia de San Miguel, as well as the market square.

If you were fond of toy railways in your childhood, or, God forbid, your children picked up this infection – in no case try to find and visit a place called Magic World of Trains (Màgic món del tren)!
This is a relatively small (on three floors!) private exhibition dedicated to collecting railway models. The Magic World of Trains is located in the small town of Santa Eugènia de Berga near Vic. If you do get there, then you risk hanging there forever (at least until the museum closes), the addiction is instant, there is no treatment …

Persons with an unstable collectible psyche are not recommended to read the details and see the photos following the link.

Perpignan is the capital of the administrative region of the Eastern Pyrenees in France, the former Catalan city and in the past it used to be even the capital of the Kingdom of Majorca. Since those times immemorial, only the Palace of the Kings of Majorca, which is a little away from the city center, has survived to our time.

Among other attractions worth noting is the luxurious Cathedral in the old town; Fort Le Castillet, overlooking the unusual two-tiered embankment of the river La Bassa, planted with flowers, as well as the café Espi, located on the embankment, famous for its incredible pastries.

A detailed story about the history of Perpignan and its sights, including photographic cards, can be found following the link.
