Good evening, blog friends, Wednesday is almost over, but I wanted to write about my Wednesday walk despite not having had a pleasant week. I started a new job, where I had a terrible time. Later, I'll tell you about my truly awful experience, but in the meantime, let's focus on the positives. This experience led me to stroll through the old streets of Pistoia and see some very beautiful old apartments. First, I passed Piazza delle Sala, one of the oldest squares in Pistoia, where the vegetable market is held on Wednesdays. Unfortunately, I was in a hurry and couldn't stop to shop for vegetables as I would have liked. Instead, I first walked along the alleys adjacent to the square, charming old alleys, small, full of bars that open in the evening. They are beautiful and characteristic at night, illuminated by the lights of the bars, but they are also beautiful during the day. Then I arrived in Via degli Orafi, which is also one of the oldest streets in the city of Pistoia. It was named this way because in ancient times it was dedicated to goldsmiths, with many goldsmiths' shops. Today it is an elegant street with very beautiful old buildings to see.
Buenas noches, amigos del blog, el mi茅rcoles casi termina, pero quer铆a escribir sobre mi paseo del mi茅rcoles a pesar de no haber tenido una semana agradable. Empec茅 un nuevo trabajo, donde lo pas茅 fatal. M谩s tarde, les contar茅 sobre mi experiencia verdaderamente horrible, pero mientras tanto, centr茅monos en lo positivo. Esta experiencia me llev贸 a pasear por las calles antiguas de Pistoia y ver algunos apartamentos antiguos muy bonitos. Primero, pas茅 por la Piazza delle Sala, una de las plazas m谩s antiguas de Pistoia, donde se celebra el mercado de verduras los mi茅rcoles. Desafortunadamente, ten铆a prisa y no pude parar a comprar verduras como me hubiera gustado. En cambio, primero camin茅 por los callejones adyacentes a la plaza, encantadores callejones antiguos, peque帽os, llenos de bares que abren por la noche. Son bonitos y caracter铆sticos por la noche, iluminados por las luces de los bares, pero tambi茅n son bonitos durante el d铆a. Luego llegu茅 a Via degli Orafi, que tambi茅n es una de las calles m谩s antiguas de la ciudad de Pistoia. Recibi贸 este nombre porque en la antig眉edad estaba dedicada a los orfebres, con numerosos talleres de orfebrer铆a. Hoy en d铆a es una elegante calle con preciosos edificios antiguos que merece la pena visitar.
As you can see, some have ancient windows, some even frescoed. The buildings on this street always fascinate me. Just looking up is enough to see beautiful things. Sometimes we take the beauty of places we visit often for granted, when in fact we're surrounded by beauty. Then I reached the apartments located above Porta San Marco, one of the oldest gates in the city. These apartments are also very old; they were once the homes of wealthy bourgeoisie, now converted into apartments for foreign tourists. The view from the terraces is beautiful, and even some of the apartment's ceilings were magnificent, painted with elegant and colorful frescoes. It was wonderful to visit such ancient apartments, full of beautiful details; at least on such a gloomy day I was able to admire something beautiful. What more can I say? Now, goodbye, see you on the next walk.
Como pueden ver, algunos tienen ventanas antiguas, algunos incluso con frescos. Los edificios de esta calle siempre me fascinan. Basta con alzar la vista para contemplar cosas hermosas. A veces damos por sentada la belleza de los lugares que visitamos con frecuencia, cuando en realidad estamos rodeados de ella. Luego llegu茅 a los apartamentos situados sobre la Porta San Marco, una de las puertas m谩s antiguas de la ciudad. Estos apartamentos tambi茅n son muy antiguos; anta帽o fueron las casas de la burgues铆a adinerada, ahora convertidas en apartamentos para turistas extranjeros. La vista desde las terrazas es preciosa, e incluso algunos de los techos de los apartamentos eran magn铆ficos, pintados con frescos elegantes y coloridos. Fue maravilloso visitar estos apartamentos antiguos, llenos de detalles hermosos; al menos en un d铆a tan gris pude admirar algo bello. 驴Qu茅 m谩s puedo decir? Bueno, adi贸s, nos vemos en el pr贸ximo paseo.
