A night of celebration in the economic capital of Switzerland. Zurich, many times "bypassed" to go elsewhere, on the wings of the mythical magic Swissair ... that those times .... now visited for the "erste mal" .. Zurich does not betray the expectations, austere and haughty as I l `I waited, and convinces .. like how all the country that brings with it and strong and rich Spallone ...
In a glacial climate of the Mediterranean peoples unacceptable to us, we visit this beautiful town in Switzerland, in its grand Bahnofstrasse, where banks, capitalism, and the money "d` other '... which swarms. Landed in Kloten, from different parts of Spain, to meet our dear colleagues "Swiss", the bitter cold, our skin tones calida and matted, the old buildings belonging to Swissair are still there to remember a glorious past and nostalgic, in the middle barren heaths, woods and fairies and dark gray fog that does not bode well ... But instead ...
Staying in the wonderful NH Hotel Zurich Airport. where we receive a really nice welcome cockail in style, drink a good Riesling and sandwiches of black bread on bresaola .. really outstanding!
And here we are .. after a short trip by bus ... in Zurich. Banhofplatz. Center ...
Microcosm of money and business, rich and wild .. all `at least apparently, Zurich is very hot in the eyes of the gentiles sconociuti Switzerland and the exotic taste strongly of Glühwein, the mulled wine that lights a fire in the throat and 'soul of us poor beings frozen.
In the market alliestito to the inland of the railway station, we visit the famous market, typically Zürcher, the emblem in the center of so shameless and ostentatious wealth .. a huge giant crystal, a Christmas tree fully decorated with Swarovski crystals, huge, blinding and unquestionable beauty. Around is bought and sold so as they did in medieval times I remember, among the cows, here is as sacred as national icon in India. Cross between the Arctic chills Bahnofstrasse, admiring the wonderful shops and mall, the prestigious firms, not for nothing they say is the way richer d 'Europe.
Eventually you reach the most beautiful. Leaving behind the modern part, submerged in the murky waters of dishes and a glass of mulled wine with cinnamon, slow movements, words and thoughts frozen by cold, admiring the fountains, ice, bitter cold seems like capturing the beauty of the medieval quarter. We climb a small hill and you reach a series of beautiful pretty pebbled streets, squares, streets, markets still here ... ... zürchers bankers were making money on the German and Italian merchants, increased and then created the basis for richness of modern Switzerland ... bravo!
To 'sudden, among the lights of a Christmas here increasingly colorful and dazzling, here we are ... the beautiful bridge where the river empties into Lake Zurich, an arm of stone and metal that Bracco `ll Zwigliplatz on the other shore, where they Zwigli started to protest against the Vatican thief, the reform of wars and blood, a new era of death and shame .... here where the people of the north were awakened by numbness and left us poor Southerners in deep sleep of `ignorance .... Grossmùster Here the church, the cathedral is a symbol of Zurich, rises higher and austere, and very bigoted and Switzerland ... They go back, turn and go up ... but the restaurant even l `shadow, eventually they are and spend whatever!
The Lugo undoubtedly beautiful, the magical atmosphere, the cold ... but hell of a good dinner and good wine to forget a bit of fresh suffering from traveler ...
Good journey to all ... and if you can visit Zurich in the spring .. because at least deserves it. Enjoy Switzerland with all ...

hello
