Nueva York, Estados Unidos

We had hired a trip from Spain, we are very supportive of guided tours, but it's pretty advise, especially the first day if possible, so you get an idea of ​​what the city and you fit much better the other day. The tour was called "Upper and Lower Manhattan" and for about 4 hours, you got around by bus around the district, making some stops in the most important. Days later, another trip would realize highly recommended called "Contrasts", helps you learn more the other boroughs of New York, but this I will discuss in later chapters.I remember during the tour of the district of Manhattan, we made countless photographs, the streets were deserted as it was half past 9 am on a Saturday and had not much movement. Quite surprising to see the streets as well, as you are in New York, expect to see the streets crowded and noisy, but apparently there also rest ...The bus left from the agency which hired the tour, was very close to Times Square, in theory ofertaban excursions for Latinos, Spanish and Italian, but almost everything explained in Italian but there were many more Spanish as in our case, however, we were a little like we were going to our roll ...After spending "magazine", the bus departed north toward Central Park, where we ran into this immense park completely snowed in the middle of cement, a beautiful picture, we began to surround, to the building where John Lennon was killed, to the Museum of Art where they filmed the movie "Night at the Museum". And the famous Fifth Avenue to the south, through the Rockefeler Center, Times Square, Empire State Building, Flatiron (building known as the Iron for its triangular shape), take the Broadway Avenue, heading up the financial district, through the viewpoint is located across from the World Trade Center, where moles are building new high-rise. Being in that viewpoint, you form some idea of ​​what happened there this Sept. 11, noting the magnitude of ground zero and the many tributes and memories that are there.After the tour, we were fully placed to undertake the adventure alone, it is noteworthy that a city is not at all complicated, built in squares, it is impossible to miss, also thanks to the nomenclature of the streets (for numbers and correlative ) makes it easy to navigate through it.The first thing was to eat, restaurants, bars and all kinds of venues for lunch and dinner, although the food and drink is the most expensive of the trip if you do not settle for everyday eating burgers and dogs. The truth is that we did not eat hot dogs than in those who had stalls at every corner ...After filling the stomach, direct purchases because as I said before, went without any clothes! We started by Macy's which is very close to Times Square. I have understood that it is the second largest mall in the world, second only to the Dubai Mall. The truth is that is immense and does not find there, you will not find anywhere else. Upon entering, we headed to the information center, where presenting the passport, you got a card that you served for a week (I think) and made you 11% discount on every purchase we would make during that time. A bargain, because between the prices much cheaper than in Spain, the winter sales, the discount of 11% and currency exchange, bought jerseys Tommy, Ralph Lauren and Levi's for example, at 20 euros each even less. Well, after having hit the first homer of the visa, we ended the day by dining in Times Square, in a restaurant with giant screens where several televised NBA games simultaneously and where I was charged $ 7 for a beer, lol, like cost me three of Calvin Klein underwear.
