Good evening, blog friends, how are you? Here I am for my Wednesday walk, even if I'm a day late. Yesterday afternoon, my husband and I went to the doctor because he had to have tests for an umbilical hernia, and the doctor is about half an hour from our house, so we took the opportunity to walk there. Meanwhile, I can tell you that the tests didn't go very well, meaning he'll have to undergo surgery, but as you can see from the photos, he's in good health so far. Anyway, to get to the doctor's office and back, we took a lovely stroll along the tree-lined streets of Montecatini, which never cease to enchant me. As we strolled around the city, we came across several abandoned hotels due to a sharp decline in tourism over the years. One of them, the Hotel Impero, which must have been a luxurious and elegant hotel in the past, is now adorned with beautiful and colorful murals. You know, I love murals and street art, but seeing so many abandoned hotels is always a great disappointment.

Buenas noches, amigos del blog, 驴c贸mo est谩n? Aqu铆 estoy para mi paseo del mi茅rcoles, aunque con un d铆a de retraso. Ayer por la tarde, mi esposo y yo fuimos al m茅dico porque ten铆a que hacerse pruebas por una hernia umbilical, y el m茅dico est谩 a media hora de nuestra casa, as铆 que aprovechamos para ir caminando. Mientras tanto, les puedo decir que las pruebas no salieron muy bien, lo que significa que tendr谩 que someterse a una cirug铆a, pero como pueden ver en las fotos, est谩 bien de salud por ahora. En fin, para ir al consultorio del m茅dico y volver, dimos un agradable paseo por las calles arboladas de Montecatini, que nunca dejan de encantarme. Mientras pase谩bamos por la ciudad, nos encontramos con varios hoteles abandonados debido a la fuerte ca铆da del turismo en los 煤ltimos a帽os. Uno de ellos, el Hotel Impero, que debi贸 ser un hotel lujoso y elegante en el pasado, ahora est谩 adornado con hermosos y coloridos murales. Saben, me encantan los murales y el arte callejero, pero ver tantos hoteles abandonados siempre es una gran decepci贸n.

Continuing along the tree-lined avenues, we were still sad to find several old buildings, probably in the Art Nouveau style, like many parts of the city. They were abandoned and left completely neglected, even unsafe. It's a great shame. The city sometimes has a melancholy air, like a cemetery from Montecatini's past. Fortunately, as we got closer to the center, we found much more well-maintained and well-kept buildings, along with some curious and charming wooden benches. This part of the city is newer and better maintained, and I like it better. Nearing our house, we also came across a nice supermarket with some beautiful yellow roses. They're magnificent. I love roses, especially the colorful ones. I hope you enjoyed my walk. See you next Wednesday, blogging friends, with other places to see, hopefully just as beautiful!

Siguiendo por las avenidas arboladas, nos entristeci贸 encontrar varios edificios antiguos, probablemente de estilo Art Nouveau, como en muchas partes de la ciudad. Estaban abandonados y completamente descuidados, incluso inseguros. Es una verdadera l谩stima. La ciudad a veces tiene un aire melanc贸lico, como un cementerio del pasado de Montecatini. Afortunadamente, al acercarnos al centro, encontramos edificios mucho m谩s bien conservados y cuidados, junto con algunos bancos de madera curiosos y encantadores. Esta parte de la ciudad es m谩s nueva y est谩 mejor mantenida, y me gusta m谩s. Cerca de nuestra casa, tambi茅n nos topamos con un bonito supermercado con unas preciosas rosas amarillas. Son magn铆ficas. Me encantan las rosas, especialmente las de colores. Espero que hayan disfrutado de mi paseo. 隆Nos vemos el pr贸ximo mi茅rcoles, amigos blogueros, con otros lugares para visitar, que espero que sean igual de bonitos!
