You might not ever have heard of Goerlitz, Germany but I guarantee you know the place. Goerlitz is one of the favorite cities for filmmakers and numerous well-known American and German productions have been filmed here. But that’s not the only reason to visit Goerlitz!

Goerlitz is located right on the Polish-German border. Goerlitz and Zgorzelec, over the river in Poland, used to be one city but were divided after World War II. 

Görlitz is one of the very few cities in that part of Europe that weren’t damaged during World War II, hence it’s rich in monuments and buildings in various architectural styles.

There are 13th-century churches, a 16th-century town hall, and a 19th-century department store. Goerlitz is considered to be one of the best-preserved cities in the whole of central Europe - with thousands of heritage buildings.  Enjoy!

Photo Impressions of Baja California Sur, Mexico

Mexico's 775-mile-long Baja California peninsula is a magnet for travelers in search of sun
and crystal-clear water on long-stretched remote beaches - especially those on the Southern
and Eastern part - surrounded by the Pacific and the Sea of Cortez.

After a Long Rain: Everything is Green Again on the Hills

Rent a scooter or mountain bike to explore the amazing nature on trails or drive on the road
along the beaches or to La Ventana

 

Windsurfer & Kite Surfing Beaches

On the Gulf of California (aka Sea of Cortez) a few Mexican towns are known for their consistent winds especially during the winter months. A perfect setting for kiteboarding rentals & schools.

View From a Hill Down to the Beaches

Swimmers, surfers, stand-up paddle-boarders, sailors, scuba divers, snorkelers, sea-kayakers,
whale-watchers, kite-surfers, and anglers are enjoying the Baja California Sur. Jacques Cousteau famously named the Sea of Cortez, home to 800 varieties of fish, “the world’s aquarium.”
