- About goverments and National Parks (please correct! :D) The new social environment where we live has caused a change in the way of managing the public administration. It has moved from a scenario where a single figure was involved, the public services, to a new good governance model where all the figures are called to participate in all the interesting parts in a field of good manage. In the case of Protected Natural Areas in general, and National Parks in particular, it is essential to implement principles of good governance so that they become sustainable tourist destinations. The goal of this work is to gauge, from a Delphi analysis, the level of compliance for the different principles of good governance within the management of the National ParksFebruary 21, 201700
- A Scottish brewery, please correct!!! As part of my personal challenge, #12months12breweries, in May I had the opportunity to visit one of my favorite Scotish breweries: Fyne Ales. Located in Cairndow, close to the Highlands, this brewery presumes to have one of the best waters in the UK. If you don't drive you can get by bus and then walk around 10 minutes. We can divide the area into three parts: the tap room, the old brewery, and the new brewery. We arrived soon, so we decide to start tasting somfyneales_yeastfermentatione beers before to star the brewery tour. The brewery tap opens 7 days a week and there you can find around 5 cask and 3 kegs of fresh Fyne Ales beers. We were lucky and the sun rises in Scotland and gives us the opportunity to enjoy the beers outside in the courtyard. We got hungry soon and we didn't miss the chance to try some local food like the steak pie. Then, we some beers already in me its time to do the brewery tour. We visited first the old brewery. The old brewery is built in an old farm building where the farmers milk cows but since 2000, this building is being used to brew. The first beer that Fyne Ales was the Highlander. A Scottish ale with British and American hops. Now, the old brewery is used to small batches, collaborations or tests. We could see how the yeast was eating sugars in one of the open fermentation vessels. Once we finish visiting the old brewery we pass to the new building to see the new brewery. I was surprised how bit it was, to be honest. For a brewery where you can't find their beers easily even in the North of England, I thought that was too big. The new brewery was very clean, order and beautiful. One thing that is usually in other breweries is the bottle/can line. I thought that a brewery like Fyne Ales had their own bottle line but actually, they send the beer to be bottled. During the tour, they explained some details as the quality control test that they do, the refrigeration, the ingredients for the beer or some collaborations that they are doing, like De Molen or Magic Rock. If you go to Scotland and like good ales, you should stop at Fyne Ales and if you go around June/July you probably will have the opportunity to go to the Fyne Fest, a beer, food and music festival in a privileged area.July 17, 201630
- Introduction to the Great American Beer Festival (please correct !) Normally when I travel I choose my the destinations mainly for two reasons: hiking and craft beer, and this year, I am very excited to announce that I am going to go to the Great American Beer Festival. I wanted to go two years ago, but for economic reasons I couldn't make it possible then, I decided to save money during the last two years to make it and this year will be my year, the 35th anniversary of the Great American Beer Festival will be in October and I have almost everything planned. In 2015, more that 750 breweries and over 3800 beers were at the Great American Beer Festival. How many could we taste there ? How the festival works? The Great Beer American Beer Festival runs in 3 days: Thursday, Friday and Saturday. One session per day with the exception of Saturday that there are two sessions, the members session (members of the AHA or BA) and the public session. With your ticket you can taste all the beers that you want for free. Good beers, education and events are waiting for u in this edition. Tickets If you are a member of the AHA or BA you can buy the tickets the day before, if not, you have to wait to the next day to buy the tickets in the general public sale. Bear in mind that the last year the tickets were sold out in hour for all the seasons. The sale dates are the 2 of August for the members and 3 of August for the general public via Ticketmaster at 10:00 AM (MT or GMT-6). Thursday (6th October): from 17:30 to 22:00 - $80 Friday (7th October): from 17:30 to 22:00 - $80 Saturday members only sessions (8th October): from 12:00 to 16:00 - $65 Saturday (8th October): from 17:30 to 22:00 - $80 If you are going to the members session on Saturday you will already know the awards and you could have the chance to taste these beers first. The Glass 1-ounce cups are provided and are made of Lexan, an odorless and tasteless plastic. Glass tasting glasses are given only at the Saturday members only session.June 22, 201642
- Need help with this article written in English There is a place in London that perfectly could be like another county, with their own rules, lifestyle and their fresh local beers. I am not joking about this, this place is called Bermondsey and every Saturday all the beer lovers should peregrinate to this are to drink, probably, the freshly London beers, a.k.a "The Beer Mile". One area full of breweries with tap rooms, bars, bottle shops and more. Other cities like Manchester or Barcelona are experimenting the same model. But, what has this place that I like so much? In February of this year, I popped down to London for a Beer festival in the afternoon, so I thinking to do tourism in London (again), but my brain says, why we don't go to visit one of my favorites breweries? So decided to visit The Kernel Brewery but I forgot that they closed the tap room in November of 2015 :(. So I looked for the breweries closest and then, I started visiting Four Pure Brew. They run brewery tours and their tap room is great, fancy and with good stuff. I have to confess that I had tasted their beers before, but this brewery freaking me out basically because was one of the bigger breweries that I saw in Bermondsey. Nice tap room, with food trucks and the brewery looked also with a can line. I drank a couple of pints there and then I moved to the next one in the route, Partizan Brewing. A small independent brewery with good sour lines but quite difficult to get their beers in the North England. I specially remember the collaboration with Praire Artisan for the 7th International Rainbow Project and this beer is just really. Good brewery, small tap room and if it is busy you can feel a little bit uncomfortable. Beside this brewery you have the bar of Ebria, an online bottle shop that they ship fresh beers directly from the breweries to your home.June 12, 201640
- My experience in the Copenhagen Beer Celebration (PARTE UNA) We back for an awesome weekend in Copenhagen and now is time to summarize how was the festival and why I think that is one of the best beer festival ever that I have been. Firstly, I freaked out when I see the amount of raters and people taking notes about beers. The smartphones and social media are hopping mad with all the check-ins and ratings. I've never seen something like this before but I have to say that is a positive thing. The venue Good location being pretty close from the main railway station of Copenhagen and close from the Warpigs bar and Fermentoren (where the party usually continues there after the festival) Probably not the most beautiful but was very practical and I didn't feel, despite some isolated cases, some burden. In fact, it had areas where you had a lot of space (like the Scandinavian bar zone). The unpredictable danish weather can be a problem if you are not prepared, and at some points, was really hot inside of the building. Probably, a better ventilation would be helpful. The queues Around 30 minutes of waiting to get the wristband and the glass. Once you get it, and if you are going to all sessions, the queues are much shorter when you are going to entry again for the next session. I have to say that before going to the festival the idea to be out two hour waiting for the next session seen stupid, but I think that was a good point to rest and have some food. I didn't do any queue and I could taste all the beers that I want, but expected beers like the "Dark Lord by 3 Floyds", some stuff of Hills Farmstead, Bokkereyder or Omnipollo, you had to make queue between 10 and 30 minutes. The glass In all the beer festivals that I have been in the UK, the glass is a pint glass here was around 8, 10cl and the guys usually fill your glass around 5cl. WHAT? Yes, just 5cl but I must say that is the perfect size if you really want to taste all the beers that are in your session. Even with this glass's size, taste all the beers are quite difficult but at least you can taste all of them and you can repeat if you want :-). Also were several points with fountains to clean your glass although the water was running out frequently, the staff used to change the corny quicklyMay 25, 201610
- Me recent visit to the Magic Rock Brewery In March, we were visiting probably one of the most exciting breweries at this moment in Europe: Magic Rock. Located in Huddersfield, in the county of West Yorkshire, Magic Rock has increased the production volume, are open a tap room and they have started canning their beers, which has helped to distribute around Europe and US. Magic Rock brewed the first batch in 2011, this was the awesome Cannonball IPA and now they can’t stop to brew. The first batches were bottled by hand, but now they can presume to have their own can line. During the visit, also, we were talking about the prices of the beer and why a beer on keg is more expensive than in cask. Basically, each keg cost around 12 quid and it can not be reusable, so 30 litres of beer will cost around 12 quid more than in cask. Moreover, you need special components to fill the keg. Casks are reusable, easy to fill up and you don’t need special components to work with them, just a hose to trespass the beer into the cask. If you have the chance, Magic Rock is running brewery tours every Saturday and includes a half beer on keg or pint of cask. If you are lucky, you could drink awesome stuff like the Bearded Lady Dessert Edition but also the Cannonball IPA or the Salty Kiss Gose. Also, you can take away the beer with the growler that they sell in the tap room. Around 8 conical fermenters and still increasing the production volume. I am pretty sure that this rock is pretty magic.May 9, 201620
Hace mucho tiempo que yno escribía algo
Hace mucho tiempo que yno escribía algo en el cuardo de entradas de italki el Notebook entry Italki. Regresé a Holanda y la escuela empezó aquí (I would delete it) de nuevo. Hoy iba fui a la playa en Scheveningen. Comí un helado, aunque aún es muy hace mucho frío en Holanda. Lo más comúnn comida para comer es pescado (also you can say: Lo comida más típica es el pescado), pero yo no lo quiero. En Mayo me voy a España. Tengo muchas ganas de ir alláí. Espero que en dos meses, hablearía español mucho mejor. (or also you can say: pueda hablar español mucho mejor)Muy bien! En general se entiende bastante bien a pesar de los errores. Por lo demás, sigue así!
Saludos!

El chico de mis sueños es de piel morena con el pelo moreno y de ojos castaños. Es bastante delgado pero no mucho. Tiene la cara ovalada y guapa con unas manos y piernas muy fuertes.
Está muy bien como lo has escrito pero creo que queda mejor "de ojos castaños" o "de piel morena"
Saludos!
