Español, English, Française, Português


Candidates (Still Open): Varsovia, Brasilia, Praga, El Cairo, Toledo, Soria, París (Texas), Béjar (Salamanca), Madrid, México D.F.

BEA goes wild and gives her proposal to make Bejar (Salamanca, Spain) a back-country candidate to the title of the Most Weird City in the World. As is custom, here, Bea gives her arguments, 8 reasons 8!

1. For being the city of the Duke of Béjar, patron to Miguel de Cervantes, who in turn dedicated him his work in his prologue to the famous Dom Quixote of La Mancha. And what would be of Spain were it not for Dom Quixote?

2. For its old and dandruff air, its city with chipping, peeling off buildings.

3. For the most expensive breakfasts I never had. A cup of coffeer and halg a toast 7€. It´s because it´s the city of the Duke of Béjar. Ah, I see!!
4. Because it aims at being a smart town and its a clumsy, abandoned and depressing village.



5. Because it has an espectacular chestnut natural park.

6. and the oldest "plaza de toros" in Spain (this one has been re-furnished and is really beautiful).

7. Because they make a delicious "hornazo" a chorizo-filled pie.
8. Because it is clause to Guijuelo, famous for its delicious ham.
