Before you leave on your trip, you will desire to decide what of the country you’d really prefer to see. Do you want to tour the wine country? The architecture of Barcelona? Or do you want to stay in one particular region?

  • Explore the architecture of Barcelona
  • Stay in one region that offers the greatest of Spain all in one area
  • Explore the entertainment venues
  • Tour the wine country
  • Explore it all!

There are a number of ways to find places to stay, but your best bet is to find one before you even board the plane. Booking hotel, rental car and air fare may give you bigger savings than you’d have had only by booking each and every service on its own. If you are able to fly mid week or at a few hours’ notice, you may be able to drop the fee for travel even lower.

Keep in mind what may be standard amenities in your country or region may not be standard over there, as cultures differ. Above all, have fun!

Carvoeiro receives nature exhibit, “Lynx, the struggle to exist- a story of survival or extinction”

August 13th, 2009

Between the 11th and 31st of August, Monte Santo in Carvoeiro will welcome the “Lynx, the struggle to exist- a story of survival or extinction” exhibition created by SOS Lynx.

According to the non-profit association founded in 2000 for the conservation of the Iberian-Lynx, SOS Lynx, this creature is the most endangered feline species in the world. It is calculated that only 200 specimens currently live within their natural habitat. This species that once inhabited the entire Iberian Peninsula  has come to disappear in the last decades due greatly to the loss of its natural habitat, the decrease in prey, and a high mortality attributed to car accidents, and hunting.

“We intend to take advantage of August-our busiest month of the year- to appeal to our visitors´ ecological conscience. This exhibit, composed of 8 panels, presents the Iberian lynx in a didactic yet fascinating perspective, showing us how this feline species struggles on a daily basis to survive. Receiving this exhibit within our resort is a simple contribution to a noble cause we are happy to make.” stated Marc Sontag, IMOCOM Hotels and Resorts’ Director of Residential Tourism.

Do not miss the opportunity to visit Carvoeiro and discover how you may help the Iberian Lynx- the last large feline indigenous to the Iberian Peninsula and the most endangered mammal in Europe.

HaroldSays is promoting ‘The Be Positive Do Something Positive Day’ on March 1, 2008

November 10th, 2007

Harold Cameron, the Chief of Helping People and Consumer Advocate for HaroldSays is promoting The Be Positive Do Something Positive Day on March 1, 2008. The Be Positive Do Something Positive Day is a day for people all over the world to experience and celebrate by BEING positive and then by DOING something positive on that day for another person, organization, or charitable cause. The end result, if only for one day, is to make our world a more positive and better place to be and to live in.

To properly celebrate the day each of us must first start with ourselves by BEING positive and then DOING something positive for ourselves – ideally when we begin our day.

Next, for The Be Positive Day to truly be a success, we must then BE positive and DO something positive in our homes for our families. Our positive act does not need to be huge or monumental, but rather, can be something seemingly small such as cooking dinner for our family and then eating and enjoying it together as a family.

Finally, for The Be Positive Do Something Positive Day to be a “positively” world changing success worldwide, we all need to BE positive and then DO something positive for another person, organization, or charitable cause. If we are a student, we could do something positive for a fellow student. If we are an employee of a company or organization, we might do something positive for one of our co-workers. We could also do something positive for an organization such as The American Red Cross, Habitat for Humanity, Stand Up For Kids, Charity Buzz, Nickelby Project, Do Something, or some other organization or cause we believe in and want to help.

Let’s all join together on March 1, 2008 and make it the most positive day our world has ever celebrated or experienced.

HaroldSays, “Making our world a more positive place, one day at a time!”
