TRAVEL PREPARATIONS

When we started crossing out days on this year's calendar, marking possible breaks, we had 3 possible trips in the summer months. Two of them we have already done, in June to Cinque Terre, in the month of July to Switzerland and now we have September, where we can take advantage of the bridge of the 11th day that is festive in Catalonia.


After spending a few hours looking for flights that fit the type of getaway that we wanted to do, in Buenvuelo we found one that perfectly adapted to what we wanted and also allowed us to know a city that many years ago we want.

Amsterdam

After having the flight in our hands, we got to work to find some accommodation that fit the "three b" that we like so much, well, nice and cheap. But as soon as we started with that search, something began to unravel us, the resulting prices were very high for the prices that we had in mind and, in addition, we found that many of the hotels we consulted had no availability.


Recommended travel cards

Remember that in order not to pay commissions and always have the current change we recommend you use the N26 card to pay and the Bnext and Revolut cards to get money at the ATMs. They are the ones we use, They are free and will save you a lot.

We only needed to do a brief search on our dear Google to discover that just those days in Amsterdam the IBC- International Broadcasting Convention is celebrated, one of the most important conventions of the year in the city, so seeing how the panorama was and not wanting To risk staying without accommodation, we booked a hostel very close to the Central Station, with shared bathroom at a much higher price than it would have been different dates.
With this we should learn to look at the dates before taking out a plane ticket, since in our case, we could have exchanged the summer getaways without problem.
(Although we have to confess that we have learned little from this, since not many days ago we have booked a flight again and it has not occurred to us to check the price of the hotels).
