simple ones. that inside some things are lenders really love is lead and forced people have a special way of grilling. so we're going to have a nice sausage. was this. one unique feature of this place is that everything put on the grill comes from regional butchers. all 3 sauces and all made they wouldn't have it any other way. fast food is nothing new but high quality fast food is pretty special. i love it spicy. the next stop is hidden away in the old town's maze of streets and alleys i would never have found my way without. this all on his own or deluxe is a nice little shop that sells specialty is from the region and that's where we're headed now.

dishes here insall and i'm guessing they aren't didn't. yeah well i've created vegan versions of several typical zonda. developments leon i'm fina yes did. you become please explain what that is. actually it's a great big potato pancakes fried in the pan or roasted in the oven. that's all it is this is i dressed it up a little i threw in leaking onions it's really a very traditional dish but in sonnet it's made with bacon and sometimes egg i leave that out and add some tofu. versions of saul and classics. instead of speaking can spend over the skeptics it seems so. ok what do we have here that's things i've got. done playing zp potatoes and phobe

industrial monument and a new nest called world heritage site. of. the folk lincoln iron works it's melted pig iron for over 100 years until 986. it's the only iron works from the boom time of the industrial age to be preserved completely intact tours give visitors a glimpse of working life from long ago. i think it's pretty cool because there's so much iron conditions and it's so huge. that such a big plant was so much technology a machinery. highlight is the blasting hall colossal machines generated the wind needed for blast furnace his. work at the furnace is was grueling especially in the extreme heat of the coking

plant. over 17000 people toiled away here at one point. nowadays the facility is ideally suited to arctic submissions. there are 6000 square meters of space to display all kinds of creative ideas every 2 years the urban art presence street art from the world over. it's also the perfect setting to make a lot of noise. since 2012 for one weekend in summer the electromagnetic music festival transforms the full klingon ironworks into one of germany's wildest rave then yes it's been a hot this place is a listen it's a fabulous location the vibe is incredible it's really great. it's

a place to be if you let techno. the ironworks may be shut down but its doors almost never close. the romans recognize saul and special qualities long ago as excavations near the village of bach have shown archaeologists uncovered the remains of a roman villa here it's been reconstructed on its ancient foundations the only one of its kind in the world i want to know more so i for arranged to take a tour. isn't here we are in the reception hall this is where guests were received. typical of these halls where the conference ceilings then we have the semi columns the plaster columns decorating the roof or down below are the frescoes in the pump

a star. or not here we've been able to reconstruct an original most a. and. all the tiles found here are some 2000 years old archaeologists believe the entire room was painted with them. we move on to the heart of every roman villa the bass. they were big enough to accommodate in the press friends and business associates. there is a sister called daria ma pass. this is the hot water basin. we want to put in there just imagine when the bombs were in use you had an. indoor climate comparable with a modern steam bath it was 35 degrees celsius in here with condensation dripping from the ceiling. or and behind that wall is a copper kettle to heat the water over

a fire warden hot water was let into the basin through this lion's head of. the smoke from the fires directed through the under floor system into the house to warm the rooms. when i was out there i mean you see bath sandals which still look modern today and use in flip flops exactly ancient flip flops on any idea why people had to wear them most hygiene maybe good gas but the floor was just too hot for the fires weren't all that far away or so hot people found it necessary to protect their feet so they made these ancient flip props if it was the. direct lee i could take a bath right here and now they are fully functional. another essential part of the roman lifestyle was of course good food up to 30 courses might be served at feasts .

there were this is where the roman slaves the savages prepare the meals and as we can see everything here is functional can even see the sort on the walls we also hold roman style cooking events here. so there what did the romans eat. yeah we were our high society tossed pretty much everything in the park that had a heart beat start flamingo tongues stuffed doll mice we found quite a lot of oyster shells here and the excavations or. the hour before it all of your classes lived on legumes and grains which were cooked much like a result or. it was very nutritious and filling. a roman feast something for a future visit. so it's all right lucas before we say goodbye i've got a little surprise for you i just need a moment for price let's see. here yes

cloudy as felix lucas i'm sure you can imagine that a stately house like this was the dream of many a century and all pretty fact all the same to all and blended plans to spend their retirement. i hope you've enjoyed our tour and know a little more than when you arrived as. i said. if you think you know it all or because it was my pleasure see you back here soon at the very. well we're leaving the romans and sol that now and going to brazil for all meet the local fly there we're going to meet up with. and he's going to show us his hometown sellers are all there hey. they visit so welcome to south here in minas guys stayed in brazil. so professor my

name's markel truly or oppose oh i'm a retired university professor and i'm going to show you the city starting with st francis of assisi church which is often displayed on postcards. it's a catholic church built in the late 18th century based in part on designs by antonio francisco lisboa who was known as the little cripple because an illness had left him disabled and disfigured if you don't do is it can be but that didn't stop him from becoming the greatest sculptor of brazil's baroque. has a strong religious tradition there are chapels all over the city this one depicts a scene from the passion of christ. today is 300 years old we knew it was founded in the early 18th century. but i'll go it was

discovered in the region colonists and adventurers came pouring in. the facades in stately homes still were flooded the city's affluent past. its old center is a protected historic site on the. so rondeau hey it was 85000 people live here and the city lies about 200 kilometers from the state capitol belo horizonte going to religious economy is based on the service sector followed by industry and agriculture. since the one edge of the old town is the market growth here you can buy handmade crafts and our traditional spirits. and other regional specialties feel. like you see those who are also sold here are the local sweets made from coconut.

with us. we like to have them with me nice cheese and if it's made from raw milk and sold all over brazil as a specialty i have. 6 doesn't feel the historic train station of south devon a is another key site or it houses the railway museum. good that they have the famous or smoking maria still runs visitors take it to the nearby city of kiev identies visit this is the. this must along the 12 kilometer route you can see the countryside of minas guys were less meadows and mountains in particular the shallows they mountains. that's what we've come to the end of our tour and our visit of shiloh's out delving
