Discover Parc de la Ciutadella in Barcelona | BrightSide Tours
#Barcelona #travel #private #sidecar #tour
Today BrightSide Tours walks around Parc de la Ciutadella. Located in Ciutat Vella - the Old City of Barcelona - it´s the best spot to hang out with friends on a sunny day.
In 1714, during the War of the Spanish Succession, Barcelona was laid siege for 13 months by the army of Philip V of Spain. The city fell, and in order to maintain control over it, and to prevent the Catalans from rebelling as they had in the previous century, Philip V built the citadel of Barcelona, at that time the largest fortress in Europe. In 1841 the city's authorities decided to destroy the fortress, which was hated by Barcelona's citizens.
In 1888, Barcelona held the Exposición Universal de Barcelona and the park was redesigned with the addition of sculptures and other complementary works of art. This marked the conclusion of the old provincial and unprogressive Barcelona and the establishment of a modern cosmopolitan city.

10 Smart Tricks to Avoid Pickpockets
How to Protect Yourself from Pickpockets. Even if you’re super careful and attentive, you’re still not 100% protected from pickpocketing. If you don’t want to lose your money and save yourself from falling victim of pickpockets, pay attention to some simple but important tips that can help you save your money and other valuables.
The most popular pickpocketing schemes: Sandwiching their victim 3:12
Criminal #1 forces the victim to stop suddenly. They might ask for directions or drop a bag full of groceries, spilling the contents everywhere. Most people will stop to help someone in need. Meanwhile, criminal #2 goes in for the attack. He “accidentally” bumps into the victim, apologizes profusely, and walks away with a stolen wallet.
Pretending to have been robbed 4:25
Sometimes in a crowded place, you might hear a person scream, Somebody’s stolen my wallet!. Of course, after this, everybody usually starts checking if their valuables are safe. They pat their pockets or open their bags and peek inside. What they don't realize is that this is just a trick to help pickpockets determine with 100% precision where everybody keeps their money.
Using kids 5:00
Pickpockets will use any means necessary to distract you, and they eagerly involve children in their criminal schemes. For instance, they send a cute little kid to distract you by showing you their drawing or toy while an adult member of the crooked crew (or even another child) sneaks up on you from behind.
How to protect yourself from pickpockets 7:19
First of all, make it hard for criminals to get to your belongings. Avoid big crowds. Don't constantly touch your bag or your pocket where you keep your wallet or money. Never ever count your money in public! If you carry a purse, shorten the strap. If you go to a place notorious for pickpocketing incidents, it may be a good idea to prepare a fake wallet. If you travel with a backpack, wear it the other way around, on your front.

How to protect yourself from pickpockets 7:19
SUMMARY
-Most common pickpocketing myths are believing that you’d surely feel someone putting their hand in your bag or pocket, hoping for safety of your inner pockets, and claiming that you avoid crowds and thus will stay safe.
-Pickpockets operate at museums, beaches, open markets, restaurants, train stations and airports and in public transport.
-One criminal asks the victim to stop and help them while the second one bumps into him and steals the wallet.
-The victim rushes to save the “inexperienced swimmer” while their belongings are stolen from the beach.
-While you check your pockets after someone “has been robbed” the pickpockets find out exactly where you’re hiding your valuables.
-They send a cute little kid to distract you while adult criminals rob you.
-Fake fights draw crowds that are a perfect place for collecting wallets.
-Criminals eagerly go for tourists, so stay alert.
-Hanoi, Rome, Barcelona, Madrid, and Paris are top 5 cities, which are notorious for high levels of pickpocketing.
-Don't keep your wallet in your back pocket or in a bag that doesn’t close entirely. Avoid big crowds. Never ever count your money in public. When you go out, take only the bare minimum.

Top 10 Most Charitable Soccer Players That'll Surprise You
We admire the most famous soccer (or football) players for their amazing sports skill, but, in fact, there’s another good reason to look up to them: their acts of incredible kindness. Stories of super stars helping children, the poor and the starving and doing other great things for charity will surely melt your heart.
The Neymar Jr. Project Institute helps thousands of kids get a good education and provide them with physical activity facilities.
In 2009, Didier Drogba donated $3 million for the reconstruction of a hospital in his hometown of Abidjan, Ivory Coast.
Messi’s foundation helped build 20 classrooms and get 1,600 children back to school in war-torn Syria. Along with Serena Williams, Messi worked in the “1 in 11” campaign to provide access to education to 58 million elementary-aged kids out of school in Nepal, Indonesia and Bangladesh.
Beckham helped raise $185,500 for the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children to prevent bullying in schools. Besides, the superstar donated all his wages when he played for Paris St. Germain.
One of the greatest soccer players of all time comes from the rough back streets of Marseille, France. Zinedine “Zizou” Zidane hasn’t forgotten his troubled childhood and has been actively working to improve the life of a new generation contributing to initiatives in over 27 countries.
Cristiano Ronaldo donated over $7,000,000 after the terrible 2015 earthquake in Nepal. He also sold his Golden Shoe Award and donated his Champions League bonus of over $720,000 to charity. Ronaldo is an official Save the Children's Ambassador and helps individual children and families as well.

Why aren't planes allowed to fly over Messi's house? - Oh My Goal
In a recent press conference, the president of Vueling revealed the secret behind one of the curiosities surrounding Lionel Messi's house in Gavà.
When asked about the possibilities of widening the runways of El Prat airport, he said the ban on flying in the zone where the Argentine lives restricts their options.
You can't fly over where Messi lives, it's the only place in the world where it's like this.

14 PROOFS OUR LIFE IS A LIE
Here you are, going about your business, believing stereotypes, and then it turns out everything you believe is a lie. These 14 incredible facts will probably turn your world upside down!
TIMESTAMPS
There is gravity in outer space 0:34
Napoleon was quite tall 0:54
Coke in glass bottles is different from Coke in cans 1:32
This is how towels are stacked in stores 2:20
The Earth isn’t round 2:39
Hello Kitty isn’t a cat 2:56
Diamonds are cheap carbon in excess 3:23
Not all potato chips are 100% potatoes 4:02
Not all paving blocks are actual blocks 4:34
Flying moths don’t eat clothes 4:56
Owls have long legs 5:22
Goldfish have a memory span of more than 3 sec 5:45
Chupa Chups isn’t a US brand 6:20
You can’t stick your thumb into your nose 6:44
SUMMARY
- There’s gravity on the ISS, although it’s weaker than on the planet’s surface.
- The average height in France at that time was about 5′ 3” - 5′ 4”, which means the Emperor wasn’t short at all.
- Taste is affected by a whole number of factors, including touch and smell. The same drink in different vessels will taste different, too.
- Some stores use all kinds of tricks for marketing or just plain convenience. This is an example of an anti-theft solution.
- It has the shape of a geoid, but this information is reserved for people who aren’t adepts of the Flat Earth hypotheses.
- Anthropologist Christine Yano has researched Hello Kitty as a mass culture phenomenon for the last few years, and she’s positive it’s not a cat but a girl, a self-contained character.
- De Beers has a monopoly on the diamond market: the company founders first bought diamond mines in South Africa in 1888 and then proceeded to buy in other places where these, as it turns out, not-so-precious stones were mined.
- The secret of smooth and even chips is that they’re only 40% potato flakes, while the rest is starch, flour, and water. All the ingredients are mixed together and pressed in special molds.
- Now you know how these blocks are made. Of course, it’s not done like this everywhere, but it’s cheaper and faster than actually laying out the blocks.
- Now you know how these blocks are made. Of course, it’s not done like this everywhere, but it’s cheaper and faster than actually laying out the blocks.
- Now you know how these blocks are made. Of course, it’s not done like this everywhere, but it’s cheaper and faster than actually laying out the blocks.
- Grown moths don’t make holes in clothes: their offspring do. A moth is only born and lives to lay down its eggs into fur, which then hatch, and ravenous little maggots start eating the clothes.
- Everyone knows owls can turn their heads at a 270° angle, but their long legs were discovered by accident: someone just decided to lift the bird a little.
- A 15-year-old Australian student busted the myth that goldfish have bad memories and remember only the last 3 seconds. The school experiment showed that the fish retain associative memory for at least 6 days, and they’re even capable of solving simple problems.
- Chupa Chups isn’t a US brand. The world-renowned lollipop was conceived by Enric Bernat from Barcelona, Spain, and the logo was created by Salvador Dali himself.
- You can’t stick your thumb into your nose. Don’t even try.

Why Planes Can't Fly Over Messi's House
Nice cars, private jets, designer clothes, your own personal No-Fly Zone around your sprawling $7-million mansion… Ok, that might not be the case for all famous people, but it is for Argentinian soccer star Lionel Messi!
His eco-friendly home is in Gava, a town that’s about 6 miles from Barcelona’s main airport El Prat. And get this: Messi’s estate is preventing the airport from expanding! Add to that the whole “planes are absolutely forbidden from flying over it” thing, and it seems like the soccer superstar is causing a lot of inconveniences!

#airports #planes #brightside
SUMMARY:
- The forward for FC Barcelona lives in an area that’s highly protected by environmental laws. His home happens to be within the perimeter, and one of those guidelines includes noise levels.
- The airspace is restricted because the sheer volume of aircraft would interfere with the natural wildlife in the area.
- “No-Fly Zones” help preserve environmentally protected areas. They’re also usually over historical heritage sites with high traffic, regions with known conflict, and sometimes other famous or important people’s houses too.
- Located in Berkshire, England, Windsor Castle was once a fort built during the 11th century by William the Conqueror. It’s right up there with Buckingham Palace as far as having the status of a national treasure.
- Machu Picchu is one of the most famous historical sanctuaries on this planet. As such, Peruvian authorities can’t risk disturbing the World Heritage Site or the wildlife living around it.
- For Tibet, the flight restriction is all about passenger safety. The region isn’t just home to the tallest mountain in the world, the mighty Everest, it’s also covered in peaks!
- Andorra is the largest country in the world that doesn’t have an airport. It is, however, home to three heliports.
- Monaco also has a heliport instead of an airport. If you want to fly in by chopper, you’ll be landing at the Monaco Heliport in Fontvieille.
- Keeping with its European counterparts, people living in Vatican City would need to go to Rome for their flight. Not a major inconvenience – Vatican City is located within Rome, after all!
- As the largest country in the world, it might come as no surprise that all territory of Russia is sprinkled with loads of airports – 1,218 of them to be precise.
- Of the country’s 1,714 air hubs, Mexico City International Airport was the busiest in 2018. They helped 47 million travelers get to and from their destination!
- Brazil is the only Portuguese-speaking country in South America whose territory is mostly made up of the Amazon Rainforest hosts 4,093 airports.
- The United States has 14,712 airports! Specifically, the busiest one in the US is the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. Hold onto your hats: just in 2018, it served over 107 million passengers!
