After more than four decades, the influence and sheer enormity of the Beatles is still present in many cities around the world , with streets, squares or monuments named after the Liverpudlian quartet that changed the history of rock for ever.

One of the most interesting tributes can be found in the Méndez Núñez Gardens in La Coruña and consists of a statue dedicated to John Lennon, who is depicted wearing his trademark glasses, grasping his guitar. An emotive memorial to the singer and composer who, together with Paul McCartney, wrote some of the most famous songs of all times and who now has a privileged place in this Galician city. It’s no surprise that every 8 December, the monument is covered in flowers to commemorate his death and to remember one of the most important artists of the 20th Century.

Banjul is a relatively safe and peaceful city, where it is worth exploring the crowded colourful markets selling all kinds of wares. It is the best way to take the pulse of the city and see everyday’s life of its people and customs.

The most outstanding is Albert Market, a large typically African market mainly selling fruit, vegetables and fish. A place colorful, noisy, full of people where much of Banjul’s daily life is concentrated . In Albert Market you can buy anything you can think of. Follow your instinct and smells coming from the stalls of spices and flowers or the less pleasant smells of fish.

Its people, vendors and customers are somehow reluctant to first-time visitors but, soon, you will discover that they simply need some time to be more friendly and happy.

This large square was made famous around the world when television channels broadcast the final moments in power of Rumanian dictator Nicolae Ceausescu on 21 December 1989. 
It was here, on the balcony of the old Communist Party Headquarters, that Nicolae Ceausescu looked out in amazement on how the people gathered in the square turned against him and he fled the angry crowd in his white helicopter, only to be captured outside of the city a few hours later.

The importance of the square dates much further back than the dramatic events of the 1989 Revolution. It is a central location where a bit of all the city’s history can be found. On the other side of the square is the oldRoyal Palace, now the headquarters of the National Art Museum, the impressive Romanian Athenaeumand the historic Athenee Palace Hotel. The small and beautiful Kretzulescu Church can be visited at the southern end of the square.
