THE CZECH COMPOSER WHO INVENTED AMERICAN MUSIC
Antonin Dvořák, whose 170th anniversary is this year, was not just the greatest of Czech composers. You could argue that Dvořák (1841-1904), the son of a butcher from a village near Prague, was also the father of American classical music.

There are only a few weeks left until the squares of all the major cities are filled with market stalls, Christmas trees and hot wine salesmen. For fans of both Christmas and traveling, we’ve rolled up a list of the best Christmas markets in Europe.
Being one of the most celebrated holidays around the world, Christmas magically transforms the city squares into an extravaganza of light and aroma. Some cities have not just one or two markets, but dozens. We have therefore selected great cities tha
It’s difficult to talk about La Alberca without lapsing into cliché. The moment I walked into the cobbled Plaza Mayor, the main market square, surrounded by three- and four-storey, half-timbered houses, I thought of a film set for a mediaeval epic.
