Do you want to discover a totally different landscape easily reachable by public tram? Now you can explore this awesome place! In the outskirts of Zaragoza there is a village called Juslibol, but it's integrated in the city map, so there are buses and trams there (nearest stop is Campus Rio Ebro). 30 minutes on foot there is a nice oasis in the middle of the desert, Galachos de Juslibol (more information here). Galachos de Juslibol is a nice biosphere reserve, a heaven for migratory birds, and there is also a nice place to walk and do great pictures, finally, you can be on the very side of Ebro river and see how rought it can be. First we will walk in the path, going throught village homes and quarries for about 50 minutes, we will enjoy green nature in the reserve for some time and finally we will go to the desertic scenery around the sunset, and after a nice view, we will go down to the village heading towards the tram stop. Tour made by a talkative passionate local ;)
Comments: Bring confortable shoes that can get dusty (all path is a dirtroad), warm clothes (on the top of the cliffs its very windy and you can get cold really fast). I will take camera with me so expect nice pictures. Finally didn't rain and we enjoyed an amazing autumn afternoon!

Zaragoza has a big centre... but what about the outskirts? Have you ever wondered whats there? Zaragoza has some nice unexpected things in the southern districts (Montecanal, Valdespartera and Arco Sur) - Meeting point: Aragonia covered entrance at --:-- pm - Duration: about 2 hours and half - Of course it's free! - Language: English/Spanish - Nice extra surprises!
It takes about 2 hours and half to see these things, there are more activities such statues and graffities as I pointed in the map
-Hey, why not posting any new trip? Are you dead? -No, the thing is that I spent the last months doing my Uni exams as well as other studies and the few time I got for spare I was traveling with my close ones, bear in mind that organizing a tour is quite time consuming and I'm no longer in Erasmus.
But, in fact, NomadWill did organized some succesfull trips meanwhile, but I kept them a little bit restricted (meaning you needed to know me personally or having some references of you) The second biggest trip I ever organized was this summer, to Armenia, Georgia and Turkey, starting from Tbilisi (find the route below), but due to my very poor Russian language and 0 Turkish, I didn't dare to open it to every kind of public, since I needed young participants who would stay positive in case of emergency, in fact, we had just 2 small problems, we needed to pay a private taxi to cross from Georgia to Turkey, costing 26 dollars each for 4h (not bad price, but expensive considering the area) and that we lost a morning in Erzurum since the only way to get to Capadoccia was getting a bus at 10 am, but apart from that everything was cheap and perfect! But don't worry! Most probably, I will start making small trips in my home region, Aragon, specially for all those Erasmus who are in Zaragoza, althought the places won't be the most beautiful or turistical ones, since I will focus in discovering small places with history or insolit nature. Now I post some pictures of the last summer trip Liked Bojnice Castle? I come with better news! You can see another awesome castle which is just 1 hour and 15 minutes from Bratislava!! It's quite similar to Spis castle, but not that far away! On 16 May you have the opportunity to visit it! EXPERIENCE A FULL DAY TRIP FOR JUST 4.6€ Also, on our way back, we will stop in Trnava! But if you need to go home earlier, just don't get off of the train and you will be in Bratislava in 30 minutes more. Prices:
Start is 8:30 at Hlavna Stianica and coming back is open, since from Trnava there is a 30 minutes train ride every hour! (But it will be around 16-17 in the afternoon) SEND A MESSAGE TO THE NOMADWILL FB PAGE FOR CONFIRMING YOUR ASSISTANCE TOO!

SEND A MESSAGE TO THE NOMADWILL FB PAGE FOR CONFIRMING YOUR ASSISTANCE TOO! IMPORTANT: We are all adults, I'm not responsible for any bad behaviour, or any delay in the schedule, if you are not in the right time in the station, we won't be able to change it. Just 10 minutes by bus from Bratislava is the town of Hainburg, and is easily reachable by a bus which goes from Most SNP every half an hour. The town has a nice castle in the top of the hill and the downtown is very beautiful, is a perfect trip for one hour and a half and we can stay to see the sun going down from the top of the hill. Meeting point: Wednesday 18-2-15 at 14:00 Most SNP bus station (not the line bus stop, but the one with timetable's screen under the bridge) As far as I remember bus is 0,75€ one way for students (Transport card doesnt work since is Austria), and something similar to go back, the rest is for free, there is a museum in one tower of the castle but it was closed last time I went. No other extra fees. I recomend to buy things to eat in Slovakia since in Austria will be probably double price. I will explain some basic stuff about the place, but I'm not profesional So if you want to come be at 14:00 in the meeting point! Since is an easy trip, you can do it whenever you want, you don't need to come this time if it doesn't fit your timetable. Some pictures from my last visit: Bike tour from Bratislava to the closest attractions of eastern Austria! I will make it soon, feel free to join! Is FREE (but you need to bring a bike, which can be owned or rented). I found some decent prices in http://www.bikebratislava.sk/ around 13 € per day. Before doing the tour, I will like to know how many people wants to go, and exactly how, the main attraction are the Austrian Villages, so if majority doesn't want to take the bike we can also do it by bus (3€ in total) and do it in less time. I attach a poll so choose the option you prefer. Promo video I promised you a trip to Balkans and here it is! Thanks to Student Trips Network this is possible!
