The real taste of a place

When I travel I used to do the same as many others, I search in Google “things to do en X place” and you can find what a good tourist should do, visit Eiffel tower, take a pic at Checkpoint Charlie or take a ride on the London Eye. Congratulations! You won your tourist medal, now, I want to know how they live, ¿Where people from London lunch on Saturday? ¿Fish and chips? Let me doubt it.

I love to discover these places where natives of the places go to enjoy with their friends, enjoy their city even they chill. This is what Local Guides mean to me, not only the essentials to stamp our tourist license, also the alternative routes that makes enjoy us the real taste of every place.

Cuando viajo suelo hacer lo que muchos, busco en Google “que hacer en X lugar” y te aparece todo lo que buen turista debe hacer en la ciudad, visitar la torre Eiffel, hacerte una foto en el Checkpoint Charlie o montarte en el London Eye. Perfecto! ganaste tu medalla de turista, ahora quiero conocer como se vive en ese lugar, ¿A donde va un Londinense un sábado a comer? ¿A un fish and chips? Lo dudo.

Me encanta descubrir los sitios donde la gente autóctona se para a divertirse, a disfrutar de su ciudad o incluso a descansar. Y eso es lo que encuentro en Local Guides, no solo lo esencial para sellar nuestro carnet de turista, también las rutas alternativas que nos hacen disfrutar del verdadero sabor de cualquier lugar.
