Santiago de Compostela is the ideal destination for a Christmas getaway. It's almost impossible to put into words how magical every corner of this fairy-tale city is at Christmas.

Of all the music festivals that take place in September, Lollapalooza Berlin is, probably, the largest and most popular. Originally from the United States, Lollapalooza has been held in this German city since 2015 and is almost every bit as good as its older brother, because great names in the music scene such as Radiohead, Foo Fighters and Muse have performed there.

La Canea is one of the most beautiful cities in Crete, particularly for its Venetian buildings from the 15th century and the Mosque of the Janissaries.

The city grew up around the end of the Minoan era as an important city-state in Classical Greece, its borders extending from the bay of La Canea to the foot of the white mountains.

The Splantzia district, behind the port, has preserved all its ancient charm.

The city is also home to an Archaeology Museum with an excellent collection of Minoan ceramics and clay tablets and the enormous Schiavo Bastion. The lighthouse located at the end of the Venetian wall of the port is the best place on the island to go shopping.
