Lanai Travel Guide

Extremadura

Extremadura Travel Guide

The very name Extremadura, widely accepted as “the far end of the Duero,” as in the Duero river, expresses the wild, remote, isolated, and end-of-the-line character of this haunting region.

Uruguay’s only real metropolis has its share of glitzy shopping avenues and modern office buildings. But few visitors come here specifically in search of urban pleasures. This city of 1½ million doesn’t have the whirlwind vibe of Rio de Janeiro or Buenos Aires, but it’s a fine old city with sumptuous, if worn, colonial architecture, and a…

Geneva

Geneva Travel Guide

Resting on the southwestern tip of Lac Léman (Lake Geneva), Geneva is the cosmopolitan, graceful soul of Switzerland’s French-speaking territory, a high-profile crossroads of wealth, influence, and cultures from around the world.
