Sonará un poco radical, pero los idiomas se aprenden.

Y la verdad, personalmente, me gustaría q los funcionarios europeos pudieran hablar más de 2 lenguas (EN + su idioma)

Pedir q el francés pierda peso, hará poco para limitar el elitismo q se respira en las instituciones 🇪🇺
Y claro que entiendo, y comparto, que el "social background" (vaya, lo que antes llamábamos "clase social") afecta. Que cuantos más recursos, más fácil es aprender idiomas. Y ya no te digo nada si naces en una familia bilingüe o te mandan a un colegio bilingüe…
Pero ser multilingüe no es exclusivo de la élite. En absoluto.

Yo nací en una familia de clase media monolingüe castellana, y a día de hoy podría vivir en 4 idiomas y chapurreo otros 2.

El multilingüismo es lo mínimo que deberíamos exigir en las instituciones europeas.
[Y da por saco defender la postura francófila a nivel europeo, cuando Francia básicamente es el enemigo del multilingüismo a nivel interno… contradicciones 🤷🏻‍♂️]

Last week I made an unforgettable journey 🚞🏔️

Traveling back from work meetings in Italy 🇮🇹, I decided to go back to Brussels 🇧🇪 the slow way. And that obviously means up the #BerninaBahn

A photo-thread of one of the most beautiful alpine railways, winter wonderland edition ❄️
Trip starts in Tirano 🇮🇹

Early start to catch the first train of the day, the 7:41 R train to St Moritz 🇨🇭

This early departure will allow me to arrive to Brussels 🇧🇪 on the same day.

The sun is just rising and I see no clouds around. It's time for #FensterAuf and 📸
Across the square and up we go!

We start "low" at 429 meters above sea level. In roughly 1½ hours, we will be up at 2253 meters above sea level.

The Bernina is the only alpine railway crossing that literally goes up to the top of the mountain pass, instead of using long tunnels

The Bulgarian 🇧🇬🚞 rail trip thread continues here.

Day 3️⃣ Велико Търново / Veliko Tarnovo
Veliko Tarnovo is known as the "City of Tsars", since it was the medieval capital of Bulgaria. For me, it was one of the surprises of the trip.

We start the visit with some panoramic views from the Monument to Assen dynasty, located right in the middle of the Yantra river bend.
Some more pics of the monument itself.

Built in 1985 to make the anniversary of the rise of this dynasty, it features similar characteristics to other "historical monuments" built during the last years of communism in Bulgaria.

After an amazing week in Bulgaria 🇧🇬 with @JoanMerinals, when I was too busy to tweet, it's time now for a travel thread 🚞🧵 of our trip

Sofia - Varna - Veliko Tarnovo - Sofia - Rodopi Railway - Blagoevgrad - Sofia

Spoiler: there will be plenty of trains, trams and epic views ImageImageImageImage
Here's the short thread of the first day with some cool tram pics and my attempt to ease communication with BDŽ ticket sellers.

The rest of the trip continues on this thread.

Day 1️⃣ София - Sofia

Started the day walking to the centre through the "Women's Market".

The old baths is one of the mains sights, now a historical museum.

A reminder of the "thermal" past are the fountains of hot spring water, where people go to fill their bottles. ImageImageImage

Weekend in Barcelona
🟨🟥🟨🟥🟨🟥🟨🟥🟨

A little thread 🚇🚊🏙️🏛️📸
Starting by the Metro. Line 1 opened in 1926 and, uniquely, it uses Iberian gauge tracks. There's even a connection to the adif/renfe network near Plaça Catalunya.

Trains are therefore rather wide and spacious.

I guess we could call this #BreitSpurUbahn
Some stations have a rather interesting Central European soviet-built metro look...

Others have old tiles at the edges of the tunnels like at the Paris metro...

Yesterday I traveled from Barcelona to Brussels. By train. By #TrainDeNuit to be more precise

One of those key 🇪🇺🛤️ connections that desperately needs a good #NightTrain. Because the current one is slow & "invisible" for most users

Follow this TransPyrenees 🚞 night train trip
The trip starts at Barcelona Sants station. Quite a horrible station for such a beautiful city.

We board the suburban train R3 towards Latour de Carol. One of the only 4 trains per day that make the full 166 km trip.

Tickets bought from the machine, 11.50€, they never sell out
First difficulty of this trip: good luck finding this "commuter" train on a travel searcher!

Not even the mighty @DB_Bahn knows about this train !!

The only place where you'll find the complete timetable is on the @rodalies website… not very helpful 😕

Time to continue the #Porturail 🇵🇹 thread!

We managed to cross the Iberian peninsula by train, and enjoyed the beautiful city of Lisbon with its retro trams.

Now time to discover the student capital of Portugal, Coimbra! Image
[This thread is a continuation of this trip]
We start the day visiting the lower part of the old town.

Just love the colourful buildings and the mix of styles. ImageImageImageImage
