To really appreciate the city in style, either take a canal boat from Little Venice to Camden, or cycle from Maida Vale all the way to Kings Cross along the canals. Or go the slow way, by foot! You can stop off at any point to appreciate cafes, pubs, parks, city streets, London Zoo or Camden Market. Lush!

Nice place to start the journey is from the top of Golbourne Road near Portobello, or get on from Westbourne Park Tube and then just keep going until you can´t take it anymore!

It's a bit like Trick or Treating, except based around the Immaculate Conception of not Jesus, but his mother Maria. The whole city and country folk descend on Leon twice a year 14th August and 7th December going form house to house shouting 'Que Causa Tanta Alegria?' (What causes so much happiness?) and the people in their houses, ready with prezzies shout back 'La Concepcion de Maria' (The conception of Maria). After 10s of 1000s of people marching streaming the streets the whole town and nearby beaches break out into parties, dancing the night away ... It has to be seen and lived at least once in your lifetime!

León - one hour north of the capital, Managua.
