a feast for the senses and a fitting way to wind up a sightseeing tour of summer. this is the state capital. here just as everywhere insolvent people appreciate being able to move freely between neighboring countries. to european union it's not an abstract idea it's visibly alive and well. in the center of the old town just sunk you on markets where. it's filled with shops cafes and pubs here you can really feel just how cosmopolitan the city is.

it's up to you ever go to france or luxembourg. and what do you there. on the weekends i enjoy going to france to shop the brecon it's right next to france yes if the markets are wonderful and i like to go 2 minutes a beautiful city out of luxembourg it's beautiful to see it's nice to wander around to a little shopping that's the way it is when you live on the border. what do you think of for europe without borders here in this region if you want to finish gardens but i think it's really great i come from cameroon and here i have a chance to get to know different cultures to learn on it's easy for me to study in france or germany or visit there. i think it's awesome you know. i'm going to live from the area around on but i really savor the lifestyle here. and the city itself with the people at the market and the 2 languages french and i will german here and it's. i think it's wonderful finished. saver

that reminds me i've arranged to take a couple of mary city to work the old town is something like an experimental kitchen for example. still regularly guides tourists through the winding alleyways taking them to where they can taste the latest trends even the rather simple ones. i'm just not that inside some things i really love is neat and forced the people have a special way of grilling. so we're going to kalinski is to have a nice sausage and threw in a what's this. one unique feature of this place is that everything put on the grill comes from regional butchers. all 3 sauces. all made they wouldn't have it any other way and 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 because. it's all on his own or deluxe is a nice little shop that sells specialties from the region and that's where we're headed now because our guests tonight. the shelves are stocked with delicacies made insults and friends and luxemburg all carefully selected by the discerning inexperienced and hands. did you know that 75 percent of all mirabelle's have grown in the rain so almost every minute eaten in the wild is ground within 50 to 70 kilometers of here i didn't know that now i do want to say this one is even tasty it's caramelized it's got an extra boost. the french like jam sweet. doctrine because you're. delicious but sweet yeah since the touch of caramel. our last stop is kind of an

outlier the only vegan cafe in a town full of meat lovers. since so much is in charge. of his cakes certainly sell well but how does he persuade locals to go for vegan cuisine. custom user what are traditional dishes here insall and i'm guessing they are dealing with yeah well i've created vegan versions of several typical zonda. yes. they become sleazy explain what that is. actually it's a great big potato pancakes fried in the pan or roasted in the oven goodness and 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 insall and it's made with bacon and sometimes egg i leave that out and add some tofu. versions of saul and classics.

instead of bacon can spend over the skeptics it seems so. soon but what do we have here but things are. done playing potatoes and phobe a can cream sauce on the spectrum's or. whatever you say. so what's the verdict. delicious. and you know we're interested in your holiday videos every week we show our viewers clip and this time it's from the. little from madrid he's been to southeast europe to bosnia herzegovina well and i've never been there so let's take a look together. this

splendid building in mid left was originally in the abbey for the past 2 centuries its house they had quarters of phil. the company has been making ceramics since 7848 some is displayed in the museum 15000 town painted art nouveau toilets cover the walls of the museum cafe among the designer pieces is this washbasin by luigi from the 1970 s. . the mosaic floors of the infamous titanic were made in metal off. the factories turned all tableware for consumers. parent fine china for monarchs and pope's. porcelain for met love is exported to $125.00 countries.

manufacturing ceramics still goes on in silence today but mining is history what's left is a fascinating industrial landscape and some parts are even open to visitors the best known attraction is the 1st link to the largest iron works in the country industrial monument and a unesco world heritage site. the folk link in the iron works it's melted pig iron for over 100 years until 1986. it's the only iron works from the boom time of the industrial age to be preserved completely intact tourist visitors a glimpse of working life from long ago. i think it's pretty cool because there's so much iron and it's so huge. that such a big plant was so much technology and machinery.

the highlight is the blasting haul 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 so one weekend in summer the electromagnetic music festival transforms the full clinton ironworks into one of germany's while this rain venues expanded hottest places listen it's a fabulous location the vibe is incredible it's really great. it's a place to be if you love techno. the ironworks maybe shut down but its doors almost never closed. the romans recognized 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

it we are in the reception hall this is where guests were received or typical of these halls where the conference ceilings then we have the semi columns the plaster columns decorating the room or down below all the frescoes in the pump a star you know we're not here we've been able to reconstruct an original most 8th floor. of. all the tiles found here are some 2000 years old archaeologists believe the entire room was painted with them. as we move on to the heart of every roman villa the bass. they were big enough to accommodate in the prince friends and business is so. it's. there isn't it this is the cold r.e.m. our hot bath or and this is the hot water basin. that we were on garbage and

just imagine when the bulbs 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. and often though they go on behind that wall as a copper kettle to heat the water over a fire warden is hot water is let into the basin through this lion's head. the smoke from the fire is directed through the under-floor system into the house to warm the rooms. when i was in your warm and very high i mean you see bath sandals which still look modern today and you can see in flip flops exactly ancient flip flops on any idea why people had to wear them. 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 flops and if it was

that long. to read a cli 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 against the other what did the romans eat of yeah we were our society tossed pretty much everything in the part that had a heart beat stuffed flamingo tongues stuffed doll mice we found quite a lot of oyster shells here and the excavations and. trying to talk me out of the before i go on the classes lived on like i'm some grains cooked much like a result. it was very nutritious and filling.

a roman feast something for a future visit. and it's all right look just before we say goodbye i got a little surprise for you i just need to man it with a price let's see. here years 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 prefect all feel. splendid plans to spend their retirement. i hope you've enjoyed our tour and know little more than when you arrived as. i said. if you think you are not at all interested was my pleasure and see you back here soon at the very. well we're leaving the romans and now going to brazil the local fly there we're

going to meet up with mark. and he's going to show us his home town. they visit so welcome to. here in. a state in brazil. so obviously my name's markel truly or oppose though 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 designed 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. him from becoming the greatest sculptor of brazil's baroque.

the ruin of amos has a strong religious tradition there are chapels all over the city this one depicts a scene from the passion of christ these. it 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 no one wants the 85000 people live here and the city lies about 200 kilometers from the state capitol belo horizonte going to sit with city's economy is based on the service sector followed by industry and agriculture.

since this one edge of the old town is the market. 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. your group we like to have them with me nice cheese and their food it's made from raw milk and sold all over brazil as a specialty item. and it seems that so feel the historic train station of south devon a is another key site or it houses the railway museum. good that the famous for smoking maria still runs visitors take it to the nearby city of tikrit and pace the business in. this process along the 12 kilometer route you can see the countryside of minas guys us

less meadows and mountains in particular the shallows they mountains. this fall that's what we've come to the end of our tour and our visit of shallows out del day i'd like to invite you to come to the city you are sure to be given a warm welcome to. the final stop on my visit to saul and is this sop polygon years on louis. this walk in sculpture was erected on top of a slack heap a hill made from waste material left over from mining. the polygon is a monument to the era of coal mining it's also meant as a symbol of how people here in seoul and intend to approach the future.

tourism is part of this future and i think that the small silent has great potential roman heritage industrial legacy rivers forests and then there's the proximity to our neighbors france and luxembourg and of course you mustn't forget the really good food here well on that note bye bye see you next time somewhere else in germany.
